How to Assess a Pool Installation Quote: Setting Yourself Up for Success

At Green Gables, we’ve spent years mastering pool installations in Northland’s unique soil conditions, building a reputation for quality and trust. We believe investing in a pool is a significant and exciting step toward enhancing your lifestyle, and understanding your quote is key to ensuring a smooth process.
This guide is here to empower you with the knowledge to confidently evaluate quotes and select a team that aligns with your vision.

  • Is the Quote Truly Comprehensive?

    A well-prepared quote will leave you feeling confident, knowing all aspects of the project are accounted for. Ask the installer if the quote covers: • Excavation and site preparation • Plumbing and electrical connections • Pool equipment (pump, filter, heat pump, chlorinator) • Fencing and safety barriers (if required) • Transport to Whangarei and delivery to your site • Permits and compliance fees • Possible additions to the final invoice not included in the quote (is it a fixed quote or are there variations not listed?)
    Comparing quotes can sometimes feel overwhelming, but we’re here to help! If you’d like to sit down with us, we’ll help you understand how to compare quotes effectively and identify the best value for your investment.

  • Is the Timeline Realistic?

    An accurate timeline ensures your project stays on track and minimizes surprises. To ensure clarity, ask your installer: • How confident are they in meeting the proposed time frame? • What factors could potentially affect the schedule?At Green Gables, we prioritize realistic timelines and clear communication. In the rare event of delays, we promise to keep you informed every step of the way.

  • What Ground Preparation is Included?

    Proper site preparation sets the foundation for a lasting, durable pool. Ensure your quote includes: • A detailed excavation and leveling plan • Soil testing or assessment to prevent settling issues • Drainage solutions to keep your pool area pristine
    Our years of experience in Northland’s conditions ensure your pool will be built to stand the test of time.
