Pool Design & Conceptualisation

Taq’s Pool Contracting is a team of pool and outdoor living specialists. We aim to create spaces and atmospheres that deliver the wow factor every time you walk into your pool or outdoor living area. This starts right from the design phase, our team will come out and measure the proposed space.

Next, we will discuss your dreams and vision for the outdoor space with you. We will ask questions such as

  • What size gatherings are you planning to host?
  • How large would you like the pool to be?
  • Would you like an additional hot tub?
  • Do you have a preferred style or vision in mind?

We will also evaluate the space to determine

  • Potential plumbing pipe runs.
  • Necessary electrical outlet locations.
  • The amount of concrete required for the job.
  • Accessibility of machinery such as excavators, trucks and whether a crane will be needed (If you are planning to have a fibreglass pool installed).
  • Any other potential implications of your site, such as the underlying soil type.

Our designers will then create a rendered design of your space, based on your preferred style selected from our catalogue, to match your style of outdoor living.

 The Build Process

The exact build process will be heavily dependent on the conceptualised designs for your space. Once the design of your pool and outdoor living area has been finalised, our team will then begin work on the landscaping of your dream outdoor area. This process begins by bringing in excavators to clear away excess soil and prepare the area where your pool will be located. We will also run any underground pipes and conduits for water and electricity to the pool pump and any other areas, such as an outdoor kitchen.

Following this, our trade team will organise the rebar and mouldings to be placed before we bring in the concrete trucks. Yes! Multiple trucks of concrete and pour the concrete into the mouldings of your new pool and outdoor living area. We may not use as much concrete if you have selected a fibreglass pool or paving for your outdoor living area.

Lastly, our team will work on putting together the finishing touches, such as tiling, pergolas and installing appliances, such as spas or outdoor kitchens

Concrete vs Fibreglass pools

Fibreglass pools are a great option for budget pool installations, but they do have several limitations, such as fixed design options; they may not last as long as a concrete pool. Fibreglass pools also usually require a crane to lift the fibreglass shell into the property, whereas concrete can be poured directly from the front of the property to the back using a series of pipes through which the concrete can flow.

Concrete pools ultimately allow a much higher degree of customisation, such as having a spa area directly as part of the pool. Decorative tiles are also used on the side, which really creates that wow factor of a custom pool space. With the proper care, concrete pools can significantly outlast fibreglass pools and last for decades.

Fibreglass Pools

Fibreglass pools are quickly becoming a popular choice for homeowners, due to the smooth finish and low upkeep requirements. Fibreglass pool shells have a non-porous gel coating that resists algae and staining, which means there is less time spent cleaning the pool. Generally, fibreglass pools are much quicker to install and require less heating in cooler months, due to the insulating properties of fibreglass.

Concrete Pools

Take full advantage of the hot Australian summer with a custom inground concrete pool by Taq’s. We specialise in creating purpose-built concrete pools that complement your property’s aesthetic and add value to your home. Even on the hottest summer days, it will remain fairly cool, as it is constructed with concrete; other pools tend to retain heat during the middle of summer’s heatwaves.
