THE PROCESS

What happens, in order

  1. Site visit & quote

    Week 0

    We walk your section with you, check access and ground conditions, and give you a fixed quote. Not an estimate that grows.

  2. Consent & paperwork

    2–6 weeks

    Building consent, fencing compliance, engineering where needed. We prepare and lodge everything for Canterbury councils.

  3. Excavation

    Day 1

    A tidy, surveyed dig. Spoil carted away, driveway protected, neighbours warned about the digger.

  4. Base & set-out

    Day 2

    A screeded, laser-levelled base so your shell sits perfectly true for the next fifty years.

    A finished pool dig with a level gravel base, string lines and screed boards, a delivery truck and the shell waiting on the lawn behind

  5. Crane day

    Day 3

    The big one. Your shell arrives, is craned in, levelled and water-checked. Great day for photos.

  6. Plumbing & filtration

    Days 4–6

    Pipework, filtration, and any heating or chlorination gear installed and pressure-tested.

  7. Backfill & lock-in

    Days 7–8

    Engineered backfill in stages while the pool fills, locking the shell solid.

  8. Fencing check & handover

    Days 9–10

    Compliance sign-off, then a full walkthrough: equipment, water care, and your warranty pack. Then in you go.
