When you are booked into next summer.

Pool builders sell work they start next season, and a page with nothing free on it reads as a business that has stopped taking calls.

  • The enquiry still lands

    With no slots left the page takes a request instead of closing, and it arrives with the address and the photos already on it.

  • Offer a season, not a date

    People will wait for the right builder. They would just like to hear how long the wait actually is.

  • The assessment still books

    A site visit is an hour, not a season, so the one thing that can happen this month is still bookable tonight.

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

One hole in the ground, priced three ways.

The same pool as a plain shell, as the shell with a heat pump and a cover, or as the whole outdoor area with the paving and barrier in.

  • Priced off the shell, not a hunch

    Shell metres, coping and paving each go on as a line with a quantity and a rate, so the total moves when the size does.

  • The number is set once

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

  • It expires on purpose

    Concrete and steel will not hold their price while a family decides. A dated quote lapses and gets re-priced rather than accepted in March.

  • Three rungs on one document, with Pro

    Options on one estimate come with Pro, so the family compares rungs on a single document instead of three. 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.

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

In-ground concrete pool

The full build priced off shell metres, coping and paving, then run as stages so the owner can see where the section has got to.

Fibreglass shell drop-in

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

Plunge pool on a small section

Access decides the price. The assessment captures the side gate and the fall, and the crane goes on the quote as its own line.

Pool resurfacing

A new interior quoted by surface area, with the drain-down, the prep and the refill each sitting as a stage before handover.

Waterline re-tiling

A short renovation priced by the metre, booked into a week the pool can be empty, with the refill date told to the owner up front.

Barrier and gate stage

The barrier carries its own date and its own sign-off on the build, so no pool is filled with that stage still sitting 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 and surrounds

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

Pool removal and backfill

Demolition, fill and compaction quoted as one job with an engineer’s date in the middle, and the section handed back with a record.

When the weather stops the pour.

Rain, an inspection date, a plumber 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 shell size and the notes stay attached to the build. Only the dates move.

  • The crew sees it themselves

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

  • 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 pays for a pool in one go. Pro splits a signed build into stages with their own due dates and their own links, once the job is real.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Most progress claims still arrive by bank transfer. Recording one and sending the receipt costs nothing on any plan.

  • Cards come with Pro

    For the owner who would rather tap for the last claim than go hunting 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

The dig, the shell, the plumbing, the barrier and the handover sit on one job, so a week of rain shows you exactly what it has cost.

Estimates

Shell, coping, paving and heating go on as priced lines, and the plain build, the upgrade and the full job all share one document.

Online booking

Owners book a site assessment off your real diary, and the section is matched to ground you can actually build on before it lands.

Bookings

A build carries the shell size, the access photos 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 build keeps a thread on the job, so the answer sits in the same place.

Customers

A property keeps its access photos, its shell, its interior and every payment, so the resurface call in ten years starts informed.

Territories

Draw the ground a digger and a concrete truck can reach. Past the line, work arrives as an enquiry rather than a booked assessment.

Team

The steel crew 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 progress stages with their own dates and their own links.

Common questions.

It holds the barrier as a stage of the build, with its own dates and its own record, and nothing more. The rules themselves sit with the Building (Pools) Amendment Act 2016: a residential pool needs a barrier restricting access by unsupervised children under five, meeting Building Code clause F9, and that barrier is inspected every three years by the territorial authority or an Independently Qualified Pool Inspector.

Yes. They pick an hour from your live availability and the address is matched against your coverage before it is accepted. A section outside the districts you work arrives as a request you answer, not as a visit already sitting in your week.

Options on an estimate are a Pro feature. The plain shell, the shell with heating and a cover, and the full job with paving sit as named options on one document. The owner accepts one by typing their name, and that scope becomes the build.

Nobody pays for a pool in one go. 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.

Same rails. A resurface, a waterline re-tile or a heat pump upgrade is quoted with options, booked into a week the pool can be down, and stepped through like any other job. Both kinds of work sit in one list, so renovation fills the gaps between builds.
