Thread: cost of building a swimming pool ?

Is there anyone out there on this Forum who gan give me a round about idea as to the cost of building a pool. Is it cost on m2? I would like to make a Plunge Pool around 3x5mtr.Chlorine or Salt water still dont know which is better?? Any advice is appreciated.

Hey Doug, we're putting in a pool ourselves, I'll let you know costs (and if it works) after we've built. :wink:

Best ask an expert. Maybe Bert will know. Don't know if you know this company, otherwise you could give them a call.

Thanks for the replies folks! Orang gila,are you utilizing a pool contactor for your pool? BTW, saw your pics on your project,looks good!
Bert, I presume that price doesn't include decking? Any input on filter systems,salt vs chlorine. Will record that contractor number for future reference. It helps to have a round about cost to begin the search for a contractor.
Thanks, Doug

It's a DIY job, our head tradesman has installed a few pools in his time (old Kakek) Will soon know how successful we are

Ya OG(Orang gila), probably difficult to estimate total cost?? Well hope to share a "adult beverage" someday pool side at that Beautiful location in Baturitti. Waiting for a invite!!

Not a bad guess Bert!

Dug - Salt or an ionizer (?) and dump the chems, well most of them. Get a GOOD pump and watch where you put it, don't know why it's the norm for underground install here (?), who the f consulted on that?

DCC,
Thanks for your reply. Well perhaps it is a IONIZOR that I am looking for.I understand its a little easier on the skin? Where do you suggest to locate the pump ,and what are the good brands available?
Is there any pool contractors you might suggest or avoid? If you have any other tidbits of info it is appreciated!! If need can send a PM to:
dfretty2000@yahoo.com Thanks again,Doug

Hi Bert,

a 15 square meter pool will cost abt. 30juta Rp? Plus pumps and filters I think. I heard much higher prices.

Ist das nicht zu niedrig kalkuliert?

I am very interested to know prices from ready build pools, as up to now I did not build one because of the hight costs of min. 60 juta Rp for a small pool I was told by contractors.
