Our Core Services
One-of-a-kind concrete shells, fully engineered standards and finished with your choice of tiles, lighting and smart automation.
Factory-poured concrete pools craned in for same-day set-down, reducing on-site mess and weather delays.
Sleek concrete or precast shells excavated flush with lawn or patio for a seamless, resort-style finish—custom benches and step configurations available.
Elevated or semi-in-ground options with reinforced surrounds and integrated decking.
Site Prep & Council Approvals
From the first soil test to the final occupancy inspection, Team PPNC does the paperwork and heavy lifting for you. We organise dial-before-you-dig checks, laser-scan surveys, and excavation logistics, then liaise directly with Newcastle City Council (and neighbouring LGAs) to secure Development Applications or Complying Development Certificates, Construction Certificates, BASIX reports, and mandatory fence and final plumbing inspections. Our engineers draft every structural drawing in-house approval times are faster and neighbour objections are rare. In short, whether you choose a custom, precast, in-ground, or above-ground plunge pool, we handle all site preparation and council approvals so you can focus on the fun stuff—like choosing tiles and waterline lighting.
