Pool HQ FAQs — Your Questions Answered
We know that building a pool is a big investment, and you’ll want to understand the process, timelines, and benefits before diving in. Below, we’ve answered the most common questions our Gold Coast clients ask us about building a concrete swimming pool.
How long does it take to build a Pool HQ pool?
Most pool builds take 8–12 weeks, depending on design complexity, site conditions, and weather. There are four main stages:
- Design & Approvals — creating your custom design and submitting plans to council.
- Excavation & Shell — digging the pool and pouring the reinforced concrete shell.
- Curing — allowing the concrete to properly cure for maximum strength.
- Finishes & Equipment — completing the interior finishes, tiling, features, pumps, and filtration.

How long will it take to receive a quote?
We can usually provide a quote within 48 hours of your enquiry. Quotes can be prepared over the phone or via email but will be subject to a site inspection and an on-site discussion to confirm details.
Who organises council inspections?
All required inspections are arranged and paid for by us. Our certified engineer will manage the process, including any inspections for parts of the project you may choose to complete yourself (such as fencing).
What paperwork is involved?
We use the standard Master Builders Pool Construction Contract, which protects both parties and ensures we deliver exactly what you’re after with full transparency.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — Pool HQ is:
- Fully licensed by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC)
- A member of Master Builders Queensland
- Fully insured for all works
You can have complete confidence that your new pool will be built to the highest standard.

What are the benefits of a concrete swimming pool?
Concrete pools are:
- Durable & Strong — long-lasting structures with proven reliability.
- Flexible in Design — build any shape, size, or depth to suit your space.
- Visually Stunning — choose from interior finishes like pebblecrete, render, or tiles.
- Value-Adding — a concrete pool not only enhances your lifestyle but also increases your property’s value.
With custom concrete, you’re not limited by pre-made shells — we design and build pools to match your site and vision.
