It might come as a shock or a bit of surprise to you but traditional pool builders and contractors are among the least understood professionals in Sydney. This is because they rarely are involved in the process of building pools. Most of them play the role of a broker where they find clients, get money from them and then hire real pool builders to do the job for them. And they do keep a significant percentage of the money during the process.
A lot of people who want to have a swimming pool in their house tend to make the common mistake of believing that a pool contractor who holds a valid license is a perfect fit for the job. However, this is nothing but a huge myth because licenses are given keeping a number of factors in mind including the qualification of the pool contractor but a license is not a certificate of quality work. The companies who hire subs to work for them usually do not have the required amount of skills or expertise to build top quality pool. They are simply good at following instructions.
Almost all the pool companies fall into one of the four categories. These include the incompetent ones, the mediocre ones, the adequate ones and the truly exceptional ones. Through this post we will concentrate more on the incompetent pool builders.
The pool builders who fall into this category know little about their work or designing and building of pool. The only reason they hold pool building license it because they have been in this industry for a significant number of years. And because they cannot compete on competence and skills, they make price their unique selling proposition. To them, the process of pool designing is all about choosing a cookie cutter design which they have found from some sort of template pile. And the best part is that not only do their competitors but even their customers are pretty much aware of the fact that they just cannot build a pool in the price that they have offered. In order to compensate for low price, they use cheap quality materials and techniques so that the entire process can be wrapped up in a short period of time.
