The perfect modern outdoor retreat to be enjoyed at the end of a busy week
With specific requirements for position, privacy and entertainment, these clients in south-eastern Sydney designed their own modern rectangular pool. Like many homeowners, they juggle very busy work schedules, so they requested a pool that would allow them to truly enjoy their free time with the family at home.
They gave their plans to the team at Jade Swimming Pools, who then fine-tuned them for construction. To create the concrete and reinforced-steel design, the Jade team was faced with tight access and construction on site. “Due to tight access, the 6.5m-long pool was dug via hand excavation,” explain John and Matthew Daniel of Jade Swimming Pools. “Getting the details right for local council with regards to privacy of the clients and neighbours was another challenge that we faced.”
Surrounded by luxurious limestone, this modern rectangular pool that will stand the test of time and provide years of pleasure for the family. At Jade Swimming Pools, providing clients with their vision is a key ingredient to the company’s many years of success. Through in-depth consultations using 3D imaging, the team visually walk clients through their dream pool area before it is even built, ensuring the finished product remains true to its surroundings and the client’s needs.
This approach has seen Jade Swimming Pools win several SPASA and Master Builders Association awards over the years at metropolitan, state and national levels, including an incredible 11 accolades in 2018 at the SPASA NSW and ACT Awards. Most recently, at the 2021 SPASA NSW and ACT Awards for Excellence, Jade was the Gold winner for Residential Water Feature and Concrete Commercial Pool up to $250,000, and received Highly Commended awards for In-ground Concrete Spa and Residential Lighting Feature. Jade was also highly commended for the Innovative Project category at the 2020 SPASA NSW and ACT Awards for Excellence.
John and Helen Daniel started Jade Swimming Pools and their son Matthew is now part of the team. The company currently builds between 50 and 60 pools a year due to a high volume over the past 12 months. Specific areas of construction range from the lower Blue Mountains to the Eastern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, Hawkesbury, Western Suburbs and Inner West.
Jade specialises in family pools by creating the dream and bringing it to life, regardless of site difficulty, limited access, varying terrains or other site conditions. “After contract signing, we look at the quickest option for arranging approvals and plans (unless already approved, which occurs in some instances),” explains the Jade Pools team. “Our aim is to start the excavation process within one to two weeks of approvals and after the excavation, steelwork, plumbing and concreting, the shell sits for up to four weeks for curing before the cosmetic finishes to the pool commence. During the cosmetic stage, we install filtration and heating (if specified) and the fencing is then installed/approved prior to the final finish being applied to the interior. In some instances, the clients will be building a new home and the pool is put on hold while the house is constructed. Then we return to finish the pool after the house is handed over.”
Jade Swimming Pools is a member of SPASA (NSW and ACT), the Housing Industry Association of NSW and the Master Builders Association of NSW.
