Step
by step to your new swimming pool
Purchasing your new swimming pool may seem an extremely daunting task at
first glance. However, thanks to Aquaform Pools' wide industry experience,
expertise and local knowledge, it won't be a complicated or stressful
experience.
This
may well be your first pool building venture but we've been down this route
many hundreds of times. Allow us to carry most of the load on your behalf.
First
Contact
Start by giving us a call for an initial "no obligation" phone
consultation. Tell us about your initial ideas and ask any questions. In
turn we'll probably need to ask you a few simple questions to quickly
establish what sort of pool project will probably meet your needs. Click
here for our contact details.
Ballpark
Estimate
Based on what you've told us we can usually give you a ballpark price range
for the type of pool you have in mind. This allows you to know whether your
previous expectations have been realistic or whether you need to reconsider
the scope of your project.
Finance
Arrangements
If you have not already done so, our rough estimate will now allow you to
talk to your bank or other finance provider to make sure they will provide
whatever facility your need. Click here for

Getting
more serious
At your invitation Aquaform will come to your home to eyeball your site,
offer advice, answer your more detailed questions and collect additional
information for quotation purposes.
Quotation
and Acceptance
Our quotation will presented in the form approved by the Housing Industry
Association (HIA). It will be quite straight forward and easy to
understand. It will include everything you need to know and there will be no
hidden extras. Remember, a huge amount of our new business results from
existing client referrals. There is no way we would want to jeopardise that
happy state of affairs.
After
you have considered our quotation and clarified any issues you will be
invited to enter into an agreement for us to undertake your project.

Specifications
and Council Approval
Aquaform Pools will prepare all the documentation for your signature, then
we will usually lodge it at the Council on your behalf. This is where our
many years of experience comes to the fore. We know and understand the
outlook of different Councils from years of past contacts. We are thus able
to anticipate any issues and address them in the first instance rather than
wait and react to an adverse finding which may cause stress and loss of
valuable time.
