One Family, One Team, One Schedule
Handing your backyard over to a builder for a few months takes some trust, so it helps to know who you are dealing with. We are a family-run business, and we keep your Wollondilly build in our own hands from the first design conversation through to the day you swim.
In practice, that means one point of contact instead of a chain of subcontractors passing your job along. We prepare your Wollondilly Shire Council and Sydney Water approvals, arrange your Home Building Compensation Insurance and lodge your certifier plans, then keep you posted as each stage clears, so nothing stalls with someone you cannot get hold of.
It also means honest numbers. We price soil removal and landscaping into your original proposal, so no extras appear halfway through the build. Most pools take 8 to 14 weeks from final design approval, and you will know where yours is at every stage. For a general sense of what a pool build costs before council fees and site works, our regional pool cost guide is a useful starting point.

Building Across Wollondilly's Acreage and Rural Blocks
Wollondilly Shire covers a lot of different ground, from standard suburban lots in Picton and Tahmoor to larger acreage and rural zoned blocks around Bargo, Appin and Wilton. Each type of block behaves differently once excavation starts, so we treat site assessment as the first real step of your build, not a formality.
On acreage and rural properties, we look closely at soil composition, slope, drainage and access before finalising your design, since these blocks are more likely to involve reactive clay, filled ground or uneven terrain than a standard suburban block. That groundwork lets us plan excavation and bond beam work accurately from the outset, rather than adjusting on the fly once we're on site.
Because larger properties can mean more soil to shift, our fixed price commitment matters even more here. Soil removal is priced into your original proposal from the start, and any rubble or excess soil is sent for recycling wherever possible, so a bigger block doesn't mean bigger surprises on your invoice..
What Happens After You Sign Your New Pool Build
Most people have never seen what happens between signing a contract and swimming in a finished pool, so we tell you upfront. Once your approvals come through, we excavate, pour a steel reinforced bond beam around the pool edge and give it five to seven days to cure. Your shell is craned in, filled and connected, and the tiling, paving and planting follow.
We are careful about what all that leaves behind. Soil, rubble and packaging from your site go to recycling wherever we can manage it, and the pumps, lighting and filtration we install are picked to keep your power and water use down for the years afterwards.
By the time we hand your pool over, you will know how to run your equipment and look after your water, and your shell will carry a lifetime structural warranty. If something comes up two summers from now, we are still the ones who answer the phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a variation in a pool contract?
A variation is any extra work added after the contract is signed — common examples on Wollondilly's larger blocks include extending a retaining wall on a sloping rural site or adding extra screening around the pool. Variations should only happen at the owner's request and be confirmed in writing, including the cost, before work starts. Anything else risks becoming a dispute later.
Can changes be made once pool construction has started?
After construction starts, changes can be difficult to make, particularly once excavation is underway on a larger Wollondilly block, where materials are ordered and structural work is already progressing around the site's specific conditions. If you need to change something, let us know as early as possible — we'll try to help, but it may lead to additional charges or delays. Finalising all design choices upfront is the best way to avoid issues.
Can a pool be built more sustainably?
Yes. Energy-efficient pumps, LED lighting and water-saving filtration all reduce power and water use over the life of the pool, and many Wollondilly properties — particularly larger rural blocks — are well suited to rainwater tanks or solar to offset these systems further. We also recycle soil, rubble and packaging wherever possible during construction, which matters even more on acreage sites where larger volumes of soil come out of the ground.
How long do approvals take for larger or rural zoned blocks in Wollondilly Shire?
Approval timeframes can vary more on Wollondilly's larger or rural zoned blocks than on standard suburban lots. Depending on site constraints, property zoning and factors like bushfire or heritage overlays, your build may need a Development Application (DA) rather than the faster Complying Development Certificate (CDC) pathway through Wollondilly Shire Council. Our team assesses this early in the process and keeps you updated at every stage, so you know where your approval stands.
How does soil testing and site assessment differ for Wollondilly's acreage properties compared with standard suburban blocks?
Acreage and rural zoned blocks across Wollondilly often present more variable ground than standard suburban lots — think reactive clay, filled areas, slope or drainage patterns that a compact suburban block usually doesn't have. Our site assessment for these properties looks closely at soil composition, access and drainage before we finalise your design, so excavation and the bond beam work are planned accurately from the outset rather than adjusted on the fly.
The Billabong Story
A pool build has a lot of moving parts: design, approvals, excavation, installation, finishing, and all the paperwork that ties it together. Most problems happen in the gaps between those parts, when they're split across different companies. Billabong Pool Co. was built to close those gaps, with a small team where every person owns their part of your project and works alongside the others every day.
Chad is your starting point, working with you as our pool planning consultant to shape your ideas, your site and your budget into a plan that's ready to build. Mitch designs your pool and builds it, specialising in residential and boutique construction with high end finishes, so nothing gets lost between the drawing and the finished product. Jacob manages the construction itself, keeping timelines on track and holding every detail to a high standard of quality. Andrew brings the precision that excavation and installation demand, getting the groundwork right so everything after it goes smoothly. And Ellie runs the client side of every build, managing contracts, approvals and scheduling with the thoroughness of a former lawyer and a passion for making the process stress free, from your first phone call to your final handover.
Five people, one project, no gaps. That's the Billabong way
