our process
A seamless pool
installation experience
At Pool Projects, we guide you through every stage - from design and consent to installation and handover. Our goal is to make the process simple, transparent, and enjoyable.
STEP 1 - DESIGN
Consultation & Site Visit
We begin with a detailed site visit to assess your space, discuss pool placement, fencing requirements, pump shed location, and overall layout. We take precise measurements and can create scale plans for supplier quotes.
Consent management
We streamline the entire consent process, including:
Council submissions
Engineering drawings
Producer statements
Ongoing support for council queries
Pool accessories
We help you select the right accessories, including:
Heat pumps
Pool covers
Swim jets
Watercare systems (salt, mineral, or fresh water)
All Barrier Reef Pools are compatible with any NZ watercare system.
STEP 2 - CREATION
Installation timeline
We provide a clear, transparent timeline so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
Preparation & excavation (1-2 days)
We prepare the site, excavate the pool area, and ensure perfect levelling and groundwork.
Pool installation (1-2 days)
Your pool is carefully placed, connected, and secured by our experienced team.

We back our work - but don’t take our word for it. Our clients say it best.
“We run a busy onsite business, so we needed a contractor who could take full ownership. Pool Projects delivered - and more. They managed everything end-to-end, keeping things simple for us. Professional, proactive, and a pleasure to have on-site. Highly recommended.”
— Rose and Mike, Carterton“Our pool installation was part of a sizeable outdoor living project, and Andrew made the entire process seamless. He coordinated effortlessly with other subcontractors, taking what could have been a stressful experience and making it enjoyable from start to finish.
The post-installation support has been equally impressive. Andrew has always been available to help, giving us complete peace of mind knowing we're supported long after the project was finished. We genuinely loved having him around, and we couldn't be happier with the result - the finished pool is outstanding."
— Brian & Nicky, Masterton“We were so impressed with the quality and service from Pool Projects that we didn’t hesitate to use them again when we moved properties. The workmanship, communication, and overall experience were exceptional both times. It’s rare to find a team you can trust completely, and Pool Projects delivered with the same professionalism and care on both projects.”
— Kate & Marc, Greytown“We wanted a family‑friendly outdoor living area, and Pool Projects exceeded our expectations. They designed and created cost‑effective options without compromising on a polished, high‑quality landscaping finish. The whole process was easy, and the result is something we’re absolutely thrilled with. Thank you for bringing our vision to life.”
