Initial Onsite Visit
After the initial enquiry with the Ohana pools team, we will arrange a time that suits for an onsite visit. This visit for us to understand your requirements and for you to get to know us.
We will talk through what you’re after and detail how our process works and what makes us different from our competition. After this onsite visit you will receive a detailed quote from Ohana pools based on what we discussed.
Step Two
Plans and Contract
After the initial on-site meeting, and acceptance of our quote, we will issue you with a contract document and talk with you about a start date.
Upon signing & paying the deposit you will be on course for the next step and one step closer to your new pool.
Step Three
Approvals
Engineers are engaged to gain authority approvals.
They then provide reports that both Ohana Pools and local Council require.
Step Four
Pre-excavation Meeting
This is a double check prior to the excavation teams’ arrival to discuss positioning the pool and consultation on final design aspects.
Step Five
Pool Excavation
Most of our clients find this experience a really exciting time.
The excavators dig the hole for your new pool, prior to the formwork and concrete pour construction stage.
It all becomes very real and you start to see your Ohana Pool come to life.
Step Six
Choosing Finishes
This is the fun part, generally our clients have already chosen their finishes.
But if you haven’t now is the time, things you should consider are:
- Interior Pool Colour or Tiles
- Coping Tiles
- Internal Pool Lighting.
At this stage you may also consider your landscaping, decking etc, Ohana Pools can provide lots of ideas and local contractors our clients have used before.
Step Seven
Formwork & Concrete Pour
A team of steel fixers will build the internal steel frame or formwork, it’s really taking place.
Certification of the internal steel frame will be done by the engineers before the concrete is poured.
Then concretors will spray and form up the concrete interior of your new pool.
Step Eight
Concrete Cure, Plumbing, Tiles & Electrics
The next step is to install the plumbing and filtration system, lay the perimeter coping tiles, And finally the pool fencing.
An electrician will be required to install the power supply to the filtration system, Earth wire and install a 12 volt transformer for lighting.
An approved pool resuscitation sign must also be fixed within the pool area in a high visibility position under Australian law.
The backwash is also required to be connected to your Sewer water or an alternative to this is a rubble pit.
Specifications may vary between councils.
