When the diary is full until next spring.

Pool builders sell work that starts next season, and a page with nothing free on it reads rather like a business that has closed.

  • The enquiry arrives anyway

    With no slots left the page takes a request rather than closing, and it lands with the address and the photographs on it.

  • Offer a season, not a date

    Most people will wait for the right builder. They would simply like to know how long the wait is.

  • The survey still books

    A survey is an hour rather than a season, so the one thing that can happen this month remains bookable.

We want a pool along the back fence but the side access is tight. Photos attached.

One pool, quoted three ways.

The same excavation as a plain liner pool, as the same pool with a heat pump and cover, or as the whole scheme with the surround in.

  • Priced off the pool, not a hunch

    Wall runs, coping and surround each go on as a line with a quantity and a rate, so the total moves when the pool size does.

  • A number set once

    The quote reference is fixed the moment it is issued, so your copy and the copy on their kitchen table are the same document.

  • It lapses, deliberately

    Concrete and steel will not hold their price while a family deliberates. A dated quote expires and is re-priced rather than accepted in March.

  • Three rungs on one document, with Pro

    Options on a single estimate come with Pro, which spares the client three documents and a spreadsheet. They accept one by typing their name, and that exact scope becomes the build.

The weeks between sent and signed.

A pool quote goes out and then nothing happens for a month while a family talks to a brother-in-law. You can at least see which ones are being opened, and the one that comes back accepted turns itself into the build.

  • You can see it being read

    The quote stamps the moment they open it, so a follow-up call is aimed at somebody who was looking rather than at everybody.

  • Signed by typing a name

    They accept online with no account and no app, and the typed name, the time and the device are kept against the document.

  • Accepted becomes the build

    The accepted rung converts into a booking carrying its own lines, so nobody re-types a contract worth more than a car.

An hour is the only thing you can promise this month.

The build itself is next season, but the assessment is not. It sits on your page as its own bookable hour, at whatever it is worth to you, so the conversation starts while they are still interested.

The pool that gets called about ten years later.

What the shell was, what the interior was, who did the barrier and what got paid all stay on the property, so the resurface call does not start from memory.

Six stages, and none of them can start early.

Nothing about a pool happens out of order. The dig, the shell, the plumbing, the barrier and the handover each sit on the one job with their own dates, so you can answer where a build is up to without opening five things.

Built for pool work

New builds, renovations and everything in the hole

Liner pool build

The full job priced off wall runs, coping and surround, then run as stages so the client can see where the garden has got to.

One-piece composite pool

A shorter build with a crane day in the middle. Hold the excavation, the crane and the pipework as their own dates on one job.

Indoor pool and pool house

Longer, consented and shared with other trades. The job holds the dates you own and the dates you are waiting on somebody for.

Plant room and filtration

Pumps, filtration and dosing quoted as their own lines, whether they go in with the pool or replace a plant room ten years old.

Reline and refurbishment

A drain-down, a reline and a refill quoted by area, booked into a fortnight the pool can be out of use, with the dates told up front.

Fencing and cover stage

Whatever the client and their insurer settle on carries its own date and sign-off, so nothing is filled with that stage still open.

Heat pump and cover upgrades

Sold as options on the pool quote or on their own a season later, each carrying its own price change rather than a second document.

Paving, coping and surround

The part the client actually walks on, priced by area and held until after the interior so nobody walks across a wet finish.

Pool removal and infill

Break-out, fill and compaction quoted as one job with the engineer’s date in the middle, and the garden handed back with a record.

When the pour slips a fortnight.

Rain, an inspection, a groundworker a week out. The chain moves together, and moving it is a drag rather than an evening of re-typing.

  • Drag the stage, keep the job

    The address, the pool size and the notes stay attached to the job. Only the dates move.

  • The crew sees it themselves

    Whoever was booked on those days sees the new ones, without a round of messages going out at half six.

  • Free on every plan

    Moving work around the calendar was never the part anybody pays for.

A day on the schedule where one job is dragged from one time to a later one and snaps into place on the grid.

The question they ask every single week.

Their garden has been a hole for two months and the only thing they want is a date. Every build keeps its own thread, filed on the job, so the answer is not somewhere in a phone.

  • One thread per build

    The owner, the job and the messages are the same record, so whoever picks it up is reading the same history you are.

  • The crew has one too

    Team messages sit in the same list under their own filter, so the tiler asking about the waterline is not in the family thread.

  • Nothing goes out until you say so

    Every status message ships switched off. You turn on the moments you actually want the owner to receive, and no others.

One inbox holding customer messages, team messages and Bookables notices, with unread threads marked.

Money that follows the stages.

Nobody settles a pool in one payment. Pro splits a signed job into stages with their own dates and their own links, once the job is real.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Most stage payments still arrive by bank transfer. Recording one and letting the receipt see itself out costs nothing.

  • Cards come with Pro

    For the client who would rather tap for the final stage than go looking for their account details on handover day.

  • Stages, never a checkout

    The stages are set on the job after it exists, each with a date and its own link. Nothing is taken at an online checkout.

A confirmation that a customer paid one stage of a split card payment at booking, with the next stage due later, paid into the vendor's account.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your pool building business.

Scheduling

Excavation, structure, plant room, surround and handover sit on one job, so a fortnight of rain shows you what it has really moved.

Estimates

Wall runs, coping, surround and plant go on as priced lines, and the plain pool, the upgrade and the full scheme share one document.

Online booking

Clients take a site survey off your real diary, and the address is checked against the ground you build on before anything lands.

Bookings

A job carries the pool size, the access photographs and every stage date, so the crew arriving Tuesday knows what happened on Monday.

Inbox

The one question every week is when it will be finished. Each job keeps a thread of its own, so the answer sits where the job does.

Customers

A property keeps its access photographs, its liner, its plant and every payment, so the reline call in ten years starts informed.

Territories

Set out the ground a digger and a concrete lorry can reach. Past the line, work arrives as an enquiry rather than a booked survey.

Team

The groundworker and the tiler see the addresses and the dates they are on. What the contract is worth is not on the screen they get.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free. Cards come with Pro, as do stage payments with their own dates and their own links.

Common questions.

Usually not. A domestic pool is generally exempted development where it sits in the rear or side garden, stands no more than a metre above ground level, keeps a metre clear of the boundary, and leaves at least twenty-five square metres of open space per dwelling. The exemption falls away for a protected structure or an Architectural Conservation Area, where the planning authority has to be asked. Bookables holds the job record, not the consent.

They can. They take an hour from your live availability and the address is checked against your coverage before the booking is accepted. Anything outside the counties you work arrives as an enquiry to answer, rather than a survey already sitting in your week.

Options on an estimate are a Pro feature. The liner pool, the same pool with a heat pump and cover, and the full scheme with the surround sit as named options on one document. The client accepts one by typing their name, and that scope becomes the build.

As a stage of the job, with its own dates and its own record. There is no national fencing law for a private garden pool, so what goes in tends to come from the client, their insurer or the local authority. Bookables records what was fitted and when; it does not tell you what the requirement is.

Nobody settles a pool in one payment. On Pro a signed build splits into stages, each with a due date and its own pay link, set on the job once it exists rather than at a checkout. Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free on any plan; cards are the part that comes with Pro.

The same rails. A reline, a waterline retile or a plant room upgrade is quoted with options, booked into a fortnight the pool can be drained, and stepped through the same way. Both kinds of work sit in one list, so refurbishment fills the winter.
