The Biggest Risk in a DIY Pool Build Isn’t Digging the Hole, It’s What Happens Underground
Building a self-build pool or managing your own contractors is one of the most rewarding home improvement projects you can undertake. It lets you create a luxury asset while saving thousands compared to a fully managed installation. However, most self-builders share the exact same fear: “What if I mess up the plumbing, size the pump wrong, or violate a building regulation that ruins the pool later?”
The Blue Cube Pools DIY Consultancy Package acts as your personal insurance policy. Backed by over 25 years of hands-on design and installation experience, our accredited engineers guide you through every stage, from turning the first sod to commissioning the plant room. We remove the guesswork so you can build with total confidence.
What’s Included in Your Consultancy Package
-
3 Strategic Site Visits:
-
Visit 1 (Pre-Works Recommended): Finalising layout, ground conditions, depth profiles, and plant room positioning before excavation begins.
-
Visits 2 & 3 (Flexible Timing): Used whenever you need them most—whether that’s inspecting blockwork and pipe runs prior to backfilling, checking tanking/liner prep, or commissioning equipment.
-
-
Complete Phone & Technical Support: You are never left stuck on site. Our technical team is a phone call away to answer questions, resolve unexpected ground challenges, or advise your tradespeople.
-
Plant Room Hydraulic Design: The plant room is the heart and lungs of your pool. We design the exact circulation, filtration, pipe sizing, and heating setup required for your specific pool volume—preventing stagnant water, high energy bills, or noisy pumps.
-
Material & Equipment Procurement: We help you select and source the right liners, tiles, copings, and heating systems (heat pumps, heat exchangers) suited to your budget, passing on our industry knowledge so you don’t overpay for the wrong spec.
-
Standards & Regulations Compliance: Complete peace of mind knowing your build aligns with British Standards, SPATA, BISHTA, PWTAG recommendations, IET electrical regulations, and Gas Safety/OFTEC guidelines.
Supporting Larger & Commercial Builds
Are you a general building contractor or developer looking to construct a domestic or commercial pool for a client? We regularly act as specialist sub-consultants to guide main contractors through complex aquatic engineering requirements. Additional face-to-face meetings and extended site presence can be added based on project scope and location.
