Aqualine We price the whole pool before we dig it.
Aqualine has built concrete pools across Sunshine Coast since 2008, on one simple principle: survey the ground first, then quote one fixed price with no provisional sums. The number that starts your build is the number that finishes it.
A pool is one of the biggest things most people ever build in their backyard, and one of the easiest to get burned on. The horror stories almost always start the same way: a low headline price, an allowance for the rock or the access, and a quote that quietly grows once the machines are on site and you are committed. By then there is a hole in the yard and very little you can do about it.
Aqualine was started by Nathan Reilly after twenty years building pools on the Coast, the first decade of it cleaning up the provisional-sum messes other builders left behind. He was tired of watching good people get caught by numbers that were never the real number, so he built a company around the opposite habit: test the ground, measure the access, set the fencing line, and price the whole job before anyone signs. Aqualine has worked that way since 2008.
The price that starts the build is the price that finishes it. If we have not surveyed it, we have not quoted it.
We build new concrete pools, plunge and lap pools, renovations and equipment upgrades, and compliant commercial pools, right across Sunshine Coast. There is no travel surcharge within 40km of Buderim, which covers the coast from Caloundra to Noosa and back into the hinterland.
Three things we will not compromise on.
The itemised page vs the text-message price.
We survey before we quote
Soil, rock, fall, access and the fencing line are tested and measured before a number goes on paper. The conditions that blow other quotes out are found and priced here, not discovered once the dig is open.
No provisional sums, ever
One fixed contract price with nothing hidden under an allowance. The number that starts your build is the number that finishes it.
Our own crew, every stage
The same team plans, digs, builds and certifies your pool. No mystery subcontractor who turns up between stages and leaves the next one guessing.
Compliance is ours, not yours
The certified barrier and the safety certificate are line items in the price. You are not handed a surprise fencing bill weeks after the water goes in.
The most honest builder in the room, not the cheapest line on the page.
If you want the lowest 'from' price, that is not us. If you want a fixed price that already has the rock, the access and the fencing in it, you are in the right place.
We are a good fit for people who want certainty: a fixed price they can plan around, a builder who turns up when they say they will, and a pool finished to a dated program. We are not the right call if all you want is the lowest number on the page, because ours will not be it. What ours will be is the price you actually pay.
Insured, ticketed, and happy to prove it.

A small crew, not a call centre.
Nathan Reilly
Licensed builder & owner
Twenty years building pools on the Sunshine Coast, the first decade cleaning up the provisional-sum messes other builders left behind. Started Aqualine to quote the whole job up front, ground conditions and all. Still walks every site before it is priced.
“If the rock is there, we find it before we quote it, not after we have your deposit.”
Priya Nand
Construction manager & compliance
Runs the build program and the certification paperwork, so every barrier passes and every stage lands on the date we gave you. Holds the pool safety inspector accreditation behind every handover.
What happens from first call to walk-through.
Talk through the backyard
Tell us the space, the look and the budget. We talk straight about what fits and what it really costs before anyone visits.
Site survey and soil test
We test the ground, measure fall and access, and set the fencing line. This is where the costs that ambush other builds get found and priced.
One fixed-price proposal
Every line specified and named, a single contract price with no provisional sums, beside a dated build program.
Build, certify, hand over
Our own crew across every stage, the barrier certified, the plant commissioned, and a handover walk-through before the first swim.
