What can an inground swimming pool cost?
Here is a guide for inground swimming pool prices in Sydney and what you will get within different pricing categories. The pricing guide is approximate ONLY as each and every pool site is different. Swimming pool prices vary depend on whether you want a very simple design or a more complex design with special features.
Award Pools Group offers three pricing categories to help you prioritise the features you want in your pool. Remember these prices are based on Sydney swimming pool costs.

This is the starting price range for a concrete swimming pool assuming the site is flat with good machinery access. This will give you a pool size from 7 to 10 m long with basic filtration and chlorination , beadcrete interior, waterline tiles, coping, all insurances, basic site costs, solar heating and the removal of excess soil.

$170,000+
This upper bracket includes even more added features like negative edges, wet deck pool surrounds, glass windows and walls, motorised pool covers and also the access cost of extremely difficult and deeply sloped sites.
Swimming pool price exclusions

These are swimming pool costs you will have to factor in.

Our final word
SEVEN MISTAKES PEOPLE OFTEN MAKE WHEN SELECTING A SWIMMING POOL BUILDER
1. Unfinished pool design
Commencing your swimming pool construction without the entire project being designed. Good design will ensure it is not only functional but adds value aesthetically and financially.
2. Paralysis by analysis
This is when someone gets 10-15 or more cost estimates for swimming pool construction and then cannot make a decision because they have become so confused. Do your due diligence and get 3 or 4 price estimates from reputable swimming pool companies. Then make your decision and go with it.
3. Not checking out the experience level, history, or background of a pool builder
What makes them qualified to build swimming pools? Consider the saying: "If you think the cost of a professional is expensive, wait until you hire an amateur".
4. Shopping based on price
Usually if a deal seems too good to be true, it is! If you shop for cheap pools in Sydney, looking at price alone, you are destined to be disappointed. Bottom line: you usually get what you pay for.
5. Shopping over the phone for a pool
It is impossible and a waste of time. Visit the pool builder or have them come to your home to provide you with an estimate. Visiting a pool builder's place of business will tell you a lot about the type of business it is. Ask to visit other Sydney swimming pool client sites that they have built.
6. Assuming swimming pools cost less to build in winter
We have seen increases in steel prices, concrete shortages, gas increases, and insurance premium hikes. Swimming pool construction costs don't get cheaper as time goes on: swimming pools will never be less expensive than they are today.
7. After sales service
Never assume the pool builder you engage has an after sales service. Make sure they do!
