Many of our customers ask us about the differences between a precast concrete pool and a custom concrete pool.
While custom concrete pools have been around for decades, precast concrete pools are quickly becoming a go-to alternative for a range of reasons. If you’re considering adding a pool to your home, here’s why you should consider a precast pool over custom concrete.
Affordable Luxury, Without the High Price Tag
Building a pool can be expensive. Custom concrete pools generally come with hefty price tags due to the bespoke nature of the design & build, the amount of labour involved and the materials needed on site. However, Precast Pools offer a high-end, luxurious product at a much more affordable price.Typically, you can save up to 35% compared to a custom concrete pool, meaning you can still get a beautiful, architectural pool without the high cost and without compromising on quality either.

Get Swimming Sooner
A key difference with precast concrete pools is how quickly they can be installed. Unlike custom concrete pools, which can take months to complete due to the lengthy construction process, Precast Pools are designed for fast installation. In many cases, you’ll be swimming in your new pool within just one week of on-site work. No more waiting around for months of construction, site preparation and curing times. This means you get to enjoy your pool much sooner.
Minimal Disruption to Your Home
Building a custom concrete pool typically involves a lot of heavy machinery, excavation and extended periods of construction. This can lead to a lot of noise, mess and disruption to your property and your daily life. Precast Pools on the other hand come pre-constructed with built-in lifting points making them much faster and less intrusive to install. Because the pool is mostly built off-site, the work done on your property is significantly reduced, meaning less mess and disruption.
Australian-Made Quality
When you choose Precast Pools, you’re not only getting a top-quality product but also supporting Australian businesses. Many of the materials we use are from local and Australian suppliers, all materials are high quality and thoroughly tested, and all our pools are made right here in Australia, just like any custom concrete pool. Precast Pools also offer a level of customisation similar to custom concrete pools, with eight shapes and sizes, two stunning internal finishes to choose from – fully mosaic-tiled, or Designer Beadcrete with a waterline tile – and a wide range of quality tile and stone options.

Eco-Friendly
Because Precast Pools are made off-site, less waste is produced during construction and fewer resources are needed overall. This makes the construction process more efficient than a traditional custom concrete pool, resulting in a relatively smaller environmental footprint.
