Check online reviews on Google and trade platforms. Confirm the builder holds a current builder's licence for your state or territory. Ask whether they carry public liability insurance. Request a written quote that itemises labour and materials separately. Confirm that all trade connections (plumbing, electrical) will be made by appropriately licensed tradespeople. Ask to see examples of recent completed pool projects.
