More than just a pool builder
Being a pool builder is more than just putting in a concrete shell. A pool has to be designed, approved, built, commissioned and certified. We manage every step.
We fully understand how all these elements come together to complement your home. Building a pool involves numerous moving parts, and our expertise ensures that every detail is planned to create a beautiful, functional addition to your outdoor living space.
Resort inspired. Refined built.
We work closely with you to design an outdoor space that matches your home, budget and lifestyle. Beyond the pool itself, we integrate landscaping, decking, outdoor kitchens and frameless glass fencing into one seamless design, so your pool becomes the centrepiece of a complete outdoor space.
As part of the Refined Group, we build pools standalone or alongside your new home. One team, one contract, one seamless result.
What we build
Custom concrete pools
We specialise in fully custom concrete pools, offering complete freedom in shape, size and finish: sleek lap pools, plunge pools, and resort-style family pools with premium tiled interiors and integrated spas. Every pool is fully engineered, approved and certified.
Pool & landscape packages
A pool rarely arrives alone. Decking, paving, planting, outdoor kitchens and compliant glass fencing are designed with the pool from day one, not bolted on after, so the whole backyard resolves as one space. Our director began his career in landscape design and construction, and it shows in the finished result.
Pool renovations
A proper pool renovation is a significant investment, and rarely just cosmetic. Behind drummy tiles or a worn interior there’s often structural movement, cracking in the shell, failing bond beams and coping, leaking pipework or fencing that no longer meets compliance. These are problems a surface makeover won’t fix. Our strong building experience means we renovate beyond the cosmetic: shell and crack repairs, new interior finishes, coping and bond beam work, updated equipment and plumbing, compliant glass fencing and re-landscaped surrounds. Done once and done properly. Ask us for an honest assessment of what your pool actually needs.

“The team went over and above to finish our pool in time for the summer holidays…so much so Charbel was there late on Christmas Eve to personally ensure this was the case. The pool is nothing short of outstanding and we are delighted with it.”

Common questions
-
Can you build a pool on its own, or only with a home build?
Both. We build pools standalone or alongside your new home. Many of our pool clients come to us for the pool and landscape only. The one-team approach works at any scale.
-
What does a concrete pool cost in Sydney?
Our custom concrete pools generally start from $100,000, and every pool is quoted individually. Size, site access, engineering and finishes all play their part. When comparing quotes, look closely at inclusions: our quotes are complete from day one, with nothing buried in the fine print.
-
When should we start planning?
Earlier than you’d think. Design, council approval and engineering take time and can bring unforeseen challenges. Begin the conversation over winter, when builders are quieter, and your pool can be ready for summer.
-
Do you renovate existing pools?
Yes, and properly. Renovations often involve more than the cosmetic: shell and crack repairs, coping and bond beam work, updated equipment and plumbing, and fencing brought up to compliance. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what your pool actually needs.
