See your new pool before it’s built with 3D design

With our advanced 3D design technology, you can visualise your dream pool before construction even begins. We provide detailed, high-quality renderings that allow you to see every angle, from layout to features, ensuring that your pool fits seamlessly into your property. This step helps you make confident decisions about design, finishes, and placement, giving you peace of mind that the final result will match your expectations.

Why choose to work with Living Pools & Spas

30+ years of experience in pool installations and design

With over three decades in the industry, we design and deliver custom-designed pools backed by structural knowledge and practical construction experience. Every decision is made with longevity and buildability in mind.

We work closely with you throughout the entire process

You'll be collaborating with the same builder from consultation through to handover, so you can expect clear communication and consistent oversight at every stage.

Pools designed with 3D precision

Before construction begins, we develop detailed 3D concepts so you can see how your new pool will sit within your property. This allows design, layout and finish selections to be refined early, supporting a smoother installation process and a result that reflects the original vision.

We build on complex sites across Northern NSW

Sloping blocks, acreage properties and tight access sites require experience. As established custom pool builders, we engineer solutions that work with your land rather than against it.

Transparent planning and personalised service

Structural requirements are identified during design, not midway through construction. This forward planning supports realistic budgeting and reduces unexpected changes during the build.

We don't take on more projects than we can handle

We intentionally limit the number of projects we take on, allowing closer supervision and greater attention to detail throughout the installation process.

"Ben built our 15m x 4m pool in 2023 in the rural area outside Lismore NSW. If you are looking at getting a pool built get Ben to do it. From start to finish it was hassle free and done in a timely manner. At no point were we stressed. As a bonus Ben is a lovely guy!"

Robyn

“Ben was professional and efficient from inception to completion and throughout the complex bureaucratic process of planning permission, surveys, soil testing and construction. He delivered everything in a timely manner with full explanations and a smile.His subcontractors were of the same ilk and similarly professional and very pleasant to deal with.Really appreciated his attention to detail, approachable manner and wealth of knowledge on all aspects of the pool building process.

Would highly recommend Living Pools & Spas to anyone contemplating a pool.”

Alison

“Ben from Living Pools & Spas finished our pool earlier this year, on time and budget. Communication was easy, speedy and professional throughout the entire process - from beginning of the initial site visit to this day - including assistance with choosing the tiles and colours. Ben promptly assisted us with any queries we've had, even after it was finished. We are very happy with our new pool, as well as the builder! Highly recommend Ben and Living Pools & Spas.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need Development Approval (DA) to build a pool?
How long does it take to build a custom concrete pool?

Most concrete pools take approximately 3–4 months from the commencement of site works to completion. Timeframes can vary depending on site conditions, approvals and selected finishes, but we plan carefully to keep the installation process moving efficiently.

Can I reduce chlorine or chemicals in my pool?

Yes. We offer several options to minimise chemical use. This includes fully biological living pools with no chlorine, as well as ozone systems and magnesium options that reduce chemical reliance while supporting water clarity and swimmer comfort.

Can my pool be heated for year-round use?

Yes. We install energy-efficient heat pumps that allow you to extend your swimming season or maintain comfortable water temperatures throughout the year, depending on your preferences.

Can you build on a sloping or difficult site?

Yes. Concrete pools are free-standing structures, which makes them well-suited to sloping blocks, acreage properties and complex sites. With the right structural design, we can construct pools at varying heights and shapes without relying on large retaining structures.
