Our Process

At Harbour City Pools, we don’t just carelessly install your pool and leave. We have a comprehensive process that ensures our customers are always satisfied with the result. Here is some insight into our swimming pool installation process:

  • Consultation

    A reputable swimming pool builder should always do their due diligence to ensure they deliver results you’re absolutely chuffed with. That’s why our installation process starts with a thorough consultation of your needs and an in-depth discussion of your vision. We’ll talk about the space and go over your options to find an ideal shell for your property.

  • Site Assessment

    Using notes from our initial consultation, one of our pool builders will visit your Wellington property and perform a thorough assessment of the site. We’ll provide a professional evaluation of the intended pool area, looking at things like access areas, soil conditions, and potential risks and obstacles.

  • Quotes & Planning

    One of our biggest values here at Harbour City Pools is ensuring we remain transparent with our customers at all times. That’s why we provide quotes AFTER we’ve visited the site. This way, we can plan the work and action a cost analysis to provide you with an accurate quote to make an informed decision.

    This quote includes everything from building plans and labour costs to expected timeframes and a breakdown of work. We also use this opportunity to ask for your feedback, making adjustments to plans to ensure everything is perfect and adheres to your needs.

  • Prep, Excavation & Base Construction

    This is where we get into the nitty-gritty, arriving at your property with all the tools, equipment, and machinery needed to do the job. We’ll carefully prepare the installation site, excavating the area to accommodate your new pool and its surrounding area. Your expert pool builder will then lay a solid foundation to ensure the pool’s stability, longevity, and structural compliance.

  • Shell Delivery

    Taking great care, your pool installer will coordinate the delivery and placement of your fibreglass shell, making sure it fits nice and snug in its new home.

  • Plumbing & Hardware Installation

    We’ll organise expert plumbing and fit all the necessary hardware to ensure the seamless operation of your pool. Hardware includes things like pumps, filters, and other equipment.

  • Backfilling & Landscaping

    No pool installation is complete without ensuring the surrounding areas are safe and fully functioning. During this step, our swimming pool builders revisit the plans and use various landscaping techniques and materials to restore and enhance the space around your pool.

  • Interior Finishes

    Our team will apply an interior finish of your choice, ensuring a smooth, durable, and appealing surface.

  • Filling the Pool & Balancing Chemicals

    Almost done! Here, we begin filling the pool, monitoring it for any unexpected issues. Once full, we’ll make careful adjustments to the water chemistry and test all the pool systems to make sure they’re working correctly.

  • Thorough Inspection

    Once all of the above is complete, your swimming pool contractor will perform a thorough assessment of the job, looking at things like quality, compliance, and adherence to initial building plans.

  • Handover & Training

    ow, it’s your turn! Our team will walk you through your new pool area, providing you with specialist aftercare advice and training to ensure the proper upkeep and longevity of your new swimming pool. We’ll cover things like safety, appropriate chemical use, and how to effectively operate equipment.

  • Cleaning
  • Water testing

Frequently Asked Questions

Installing a swimming pool can take anywhere between one to several weeks. However, fibreglass pools tend to take less time to install than other pool types.

  • Topping up and testing chlorine levels
  • Skimming the water and cleaning the filter
  • Checking the pump and heating systems
Don’t stress, though! Once we install your pool, we’ll provide you with expert advice and some insider tips to make it easy for you.

In most cases, no. There are a few exceptions to the rule, though, so if you’re unsure, head over to the Building Performance Tanks and Pools page. It’s worth noting, however, that the law requires homeowners to obtain a building permit for pool fencing installations.

Don’t feel overwhelmed, though. Our team understand all the rules and regulations surrounding pool installations. We’ll take a look at your project and obtain all the necessary permissions before we commence work, ensuring that your pool is installed safely and correctly, and adheres to all the local council requirements.
