What is a BlueCrete Swimming Pool?

This is the brand name that Bluepools uses for its range of Shotcrete or Gunite reinforced concrete shell swimming pools.

A BlueCrete Pool can be of any shape and size that will suit your requirements and fit in your backyard. We give each BlueCrete Pool a Unique Reference Number that we use to archive all the data about your pool for future reference and any warranty claims.

Pool Specification and Yard survey

The first thing that we need is an idea of your requirements in terms of pool size, location, shape and decking etc.

So first of all our local representative will meet with you on site to make sure that we fully understand your objective and the approximate budget that you have in mind.

We will then measure up your yard and take account of all the features that the pool and landscaping design will need to provide.

Pool Design

We will then design the pool and the location of the planting areas, providing levels and ground contouring and including the production of detailed site drawings and a cost estimate.

We can either design to the budget that you give us, or we can advise you of general costs and let you guide us on your requirements.

Design Approval

We will make any adjustments to the design and you then approve the design before we complete the construction details,
