HOW TO USETHIS GUIDEThanks for choosing us to help you start the process of designing your backyard! Our Price Guides guides are designed to help
you understand the type of project you can expect, within the 4 most typical price ranges . We’ve included 2 example projects
per price bracket. Obviously, every site & client needs are different, & each project needs to be designed & costed individually,
especially depending on how much of the project you’re willing to arrange yourself. So use our examples as “guides” to slot
yourself into the price range you’re comfortable with. Once you’ve done that, you can more accurately instruct us how to
start designing & refine our costings to fit your financial expectations. We look forward to exploring your project needs with
you, and helping you transform your lifestyle & backyard into something you and your family will value for years to come!

Researching & buying a pool can be confusing at the best of times ,
especially if you’re a first time buyer. Part of the unfortunate
problem is that many Swimming Pool Companies use “bait & switch
advertising” , omitt inclusions/exclusions , or simply confuse the
process with details that make you think a whole project can be
achieved for unrealistic amounts. For sure, anyone can build a
basic shell, coping, interior & equipment for under $30,000, but
that’s not what you’ll end up spending on the overall project & its
surrounds. Our “Price Guides” cut to the truth by being honest &
transparent, so you’re fully aware of how much to allocate, whether
or not you choose to do just the pool with us.
Often people fall into the trap of thinking that they are getting the
same pool for less money, but end up spending just as much (if
not more) when it’s all too late . It’s just not worth taking the risk
with such an important investment in your family & lifestyle .
Something uniquely Majestic is that we design to any budget;
whether it be a basic pool or something more elaborate to match
the home & surrounds. You see, concrete is concrete no matter
where you buy it; but what’s important is how you design &
shape it , & how the project fits together as a true lifestyle change;
not the technical details that people often focus on.
Other companies don’t like to admit it, but the truth
is that most pool companies are about the same
price; if an identical pool/project is being built .
That said, identical comparisons are impossibile
as most pool company’s pools & processes are so
different to each other, & a lot of what we do that’s
different can’t be seen in comparison quotes .
Put honestly, price differences in our industry
only happen when there’s differences in product
& process; & differences between proposals aren’t
obvious without keen industry knowledge. That’s
why working out which company you decide to trust
in your backyard is really the main decision you
should be spending your time on . Price & design
will fall into place if you do dilligent research, &
choose proven credibility & history over price.
If someone tries to sell you a pool without properly
understanding your site & specific needs, show
them the door - it’s just not worth the risk . We
look forward helping produce a solution that you &
your family will value for years to come!
BASIC POOL ONLY / $30-35,000
“a smaller/basic pool only project, where most surrounds
like paving, fencing, & landscaping are by the owner”
These two projects are typical examples of basic pool-only
backyards, enhancing the property & lifestyle by innovative
design, & interesting use of space. Don’t be mistaken that a basic
pool-only project can’t add real value to your property.
Works the owner would typically arrange for are; pool fencing
(aluminium or glass), surrounds (incl. paving/decking), boundary
fence & painting, electrical , landscaping (hard/soft).
Things that push projects like this into the upper end (or the next
price bracket) could be; minor paved surrounds , optional rock-
neck , waterfall , water feature , crane sized granite rocks , coping
upgrades , larger earthworks allowance , any site difficulties ,
out-of-ground construction, tile band , pebble interior upgrades ,
and any non-standard council permits/relaxations etc.
If the pool size is kept small, the site & structural
aspects are straightforward, & pool features kept to
a minimum; then minor surrounds or basic fencing
could fall within this price range. Typical inclusions
you could expect are:
• Basic pool dimensions (e.g. 6x3, 8x4 etc.)
• Temporary fencing
• 200mm thick concrete pool shell
• Full sized 50mm plumbing throughout
• 2 good sized conversation ledges
• Heating provision

fencing , basic surrounds (paving / minor decking), small
waterfall , water/other feature , granite rocks , stone upgrades ,
