Want to know what the rough cost of building a 8 x 4 metre overflow pool with balance tank pump filtration unit etc.

Also who would you use to build it?

...although not necessarily someone who is a member of this forum - we are (mainly) expats, and tend to acquire a pool as part of a house deal...

Having said that, I would suggest Cyprus Pools, long established and with a good reputation - ask them for a quote (and tell us what it is ).

Hope all goes well.

Hi

Try Seastone, they advertise in the What’s on where magazine.

They won’t be the cheapest but Raif (the owner) is mad about building pools so you are sure to get a great job from an enthusiastic specialist.

Kind regards

Why somebody in this industry can not give a ballpark figure is beyond me.

Hi

Unfortunately I feel your pain but it is down to what you want. From my conversations with Raif you could get a basic pool for 12 to 15 thousand pounds. If you wanted posh tiles, great lights, marble edges , the list goes on, you could double it.

Kind regards

Lasagne

You might need permission to add to your kocan and that can be a nightmare.

According to CDS advert on forum, new overflow pools start from £19k.
I paid approx 20k for an 12x6 pool approx 3/4 years ago through a small company, they did a bad job and now paying for it.
Best use a reputable company.

I have recently read an article about swimming pool construction from steel and I think you may find it interesting to read

What does "a small company" mean? How big is a "a small company"? What constitutes a non-small company?

This wishy-washy description could blacken the name of many fine constructors or lead people into the clutches of a large but poor performer.... either name a good company or name the shoddy one but please be more careful.

My advice today would be; get a Pool Detective in to check for any leaks before final payment is made for the construction of your pool.

Yes don’t go cheap and sorry later. Co now reducing the amount of metal they using. That means unreadable leaking pool and money down the drain
