The #1 burning question for every for anyone seriously considering buying a new pool is-
“What is the cost of building a concrete swimming pool in Nigeria?”
Some erroneously see a swimming pool as simply a big hole in the ground.
A well is also a hole in the ground! But a swimming pool is more than a big hole in the ground.
Most prospective buyers don’t know enough about concrete swimming pool construction or builders to make intelligent choice and informed decisions.
Then they usually default to ”Who’s got the cheapest or lowest price”.
The truth is, price is not the only factor affecting a purchase decision.
As a custom top quality concrete swimming pool builder in Nigeria of over 25+ years expertise and experience, we have been asked this question more times than we can remember.
The right explanations and education are indispensable to help our clients in acquiring a pool stress-free.
There are too many variables that affect the final price of a top notch pool.
We believe we should educate our website visitors on the cost of swimming pools in Nigeria so they can have the right budget and make informed decisions.
This is the reason most competitors are unwilling to answer pricing questions on their websites – to take advantage of this knowledge gap.
The real answer to the above question on the cost of a high quality pool is “It depends”.
It all depends on what you’re looking for.
Swimming pool construction cost is really like asking an auto dealer what is the price of a car or asking an estate agent the cost of a house.
It depends!
Are you interested in a high-end Mercedes with all of the bells and whistles or just a cost effective Toyota to move you from one point to the other?
CHAPTER 3
THE PRICES OF HIGH QUALITY SWIMMING POOLS DEPEND ON

The more difficult a site is in terms of access, the higher the cost of the pool.
10. Geographical location of the pool

11. The Depth Of Pool
The deeper the more expensive
12. The Value, Quality, Risk Reversal and Excellence
This is the biggest determinant of all swimming pool costs. The higher the quality of materials, equipment and workmanship deployed in the construction of a pool, the higher the initial cost of the pool, the more the pool last a lifetime, the little or nothing the cost of repairs and the lower the lifetime cost of ownership.
CHAPTER 4
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE BEST VALUES, THEN THE RIGHT POOL COMPANY SHOULD PROVIDE THEM FOR YOU
As you would imagine, not all pool builders are the same.
All swimming pool companies in Nigeria are not created equally.
There are professionals, amateurs, fly-by-night and low quality cheap pool builders.
The Professional swimming pool builders usually have taken out decades of expertise to create a customer experience that is second to none. Professional pool builders are mostly civil engineers and they deliver massive values.
They help their clients to build high value, high quality and risk free swimming pools.
They DON’T build “average” or low quality cheap swimming pools.
Only low quality cheap, amateur, fly-by-night pool companies build low quality cheap and average pools.
When you buy low quality cheap pools, you end up buying twice.
The cost of repairs of a low quality cheap pool is almost the same as the cost of a new pool.
The lower your pool quality, the more you will spend on repairs sooner than later.
The higher your pool quality, the little or nothing you will need to spend on repairs.
Buying low quality or cheap or making some savings on a pool may look a good decision in the short term but ends up being expensive in the long term because of repairs.
The cost of hiring a professional is inexpensive, but the cost of engaging an amateur is very expensive.
Some unethical swimming pool builders in Nigeria deliberately quote artificially low prices to induce a contract award and afterwards boost profits by deploying low quality materials, workmanship and equipment.
Professionals don’t do business that way.
Pool construction is too big a lifetime investment that should not be gambled away.
The difference in cost relative to your pool investment, between a low quality cheap pool that will last some few weeks/months before problems develop and a high quality pool that will last you a lifetime, is a small price to pay for that quality pool.
It’s that simple! Price is important but the values you get for your money is far more important.
Remember…the bitterness of poor quality pool remains; long after the sweetness of the low price has faded.
