6 perks of installing your plunge pool before your home

Why should you install your Plungie plunge pool before your home is built?

Keen to include a pool with your home build? Here's why installing your plunge pool before you build your home is the best decision you can make.

It will save you thousands of dollars

Installing your Plungie first will save you thousands of dollars compared to doing it later. With a pre-existing property, a larger crane could be required to lift the pool over your home, and you may need to manage other access issues that can easily lead to increased installation costs. On the flip side, installing your pool before your home is built means you can take advantage of a smaller and more cost-effective crane.

When you install your pool before you build your new home, your builder can complete the installation as part of a home and pool package project. This allows your builder to work more efficiently, completing the excavation while preparing the site, and saving you a bundle of cash.


 

It simplifies installation

At Plungie, we want to help you make a splash sooner. Cut down time waiting on county or municipality approval by including your pool with your house development application. Skip digging up your backyard later down the track by installing your pre-cast concrete pool first. Avoid extra delays managing trades around your leisure time. And cool off sooner with your pool installed in just 14 days (compared to at least 52 days that a traditional in-situ concrete pool build can typically take).


 

It limits all the hassle

We love tradespeople but the reality of site work is that it can be muddy, noisy, and messy. If you wait to install your pool until after your home is built, your backyard could be out of action for up to 2 months with a traditional in-situ concrete pool build. You’ll also be spending your precious down time managing and giving access to the stream of tradespeople working at your home. Installing your pool first makes sure your backyard is perfect from day one in your new home.

You’ll have greater control over landscaping and design

With your pool in place first, you can take full control over your backyard design. Let your imagination run wild and create your dream outdoor area and integrate it into the overall planning of your build.

Create a space where lush plants, hedges and decking all complement your plunge pool and new home. Choose from stone, porcelain, or other materials for coping tiles that harmonize with your pool finishings to make a dreamy space that you'll love spending time in. Our project gallery is the perfect place to get some real-life inspiration for your new backyard.

Shrinking yards and property boundaries across America can make it impossible for a mini excavator to even access some newer built homes. So, having your pool installed first is a must in many cases. Plungie pools are designed to be spacious yet compact, so you don't need to sacrifice precious yard space, whether you want a small pre-cast pool, above ground pool or a large showstopping one.


 

Plunge pools enhance your lifestyle

Having a pool can make you feel like you’re on vacation all the time from the day you move in. As well as being great for your mental health, a plunge pool provides long-term value and can become the centerpiece of your home where parties happen, and memories are made. Having a private space to cool down during the hot American summer that doesn't involve driving to the beach or a crowded public pool is worth its weight in gold. Getting your pool ready early can feel like a great investment on those sweaty days.


 

Pools increase your property value

A swimming pool is one of the top search terms browsers look for on Zillow.com and can increase your home's value by up to 7%. Having a plunge pool installed before your home is built will ensure your pool is in perfect condition and increase the value of your home before you've even got your keys to the door.

The low-down on why installing your plunge pool first makes the most sense: 

1. You'll face increased costs and risk budget blow outs if you install your pool after building your home.

2. Delaying installing a pool can cause greater disruption to your life as you deal with the tradespeople that need access to your home.

3. When you install your pool after your home is built, it risks damaging your property or could even mean you can't have a pool at all.

4. Your yard will be dug up twice if you put off installing your pool until later, potentially doubling your landscaping costs.

5. Pool installation times can be blown out if you build your home first.

6. With your pool installed first, you can jump right on in and cool off on move-in day.

 

 

Adding a plunge pool to your new home build is a fantastic way to increase the value of your property while creating an outdoor oasis for family and friends.

At Plungie, we've revolutionized the pool industry to make installations easier and faster, so Americans like you can beat the heat and get the lifestyle you deserve, without the hassle.
