We began our pool-building journey with EcoZen feeling confident and excited — and for good reason. The initial stages of the process were handled with professionalism and care. The design phase was seamless, and communication was prompt, clear, and attentive. We truly felt heard and supported, and it was evident that the team was committed to… Read more
bringing our vision to life. As the project neared completion, however, we noticed a decline in proactive communication, which unfortunately impacted our overall experience. The tilers and fencers — who were subcontractors — were messy and careless, despite having access to a skip bin on site. We found ourselves cleaning up after them, which was disappointing and unexpected. We also encountered issues with the fencing, a critical component of the final stages. We reached out to EcoZen to rectify and, although their response in correspondence was fast, we then heard nothing from the fencers or EcoZen for a couple of weeks. This prompted us to rectify the situation ourselves to secure certification adding to our stress. We didn’t have a final walk through with a member from the EcoZen team to check for compliance, which would have been helpful to discuss the final product and ultimately pass compliance. We feel that this would have saved a lot of stress and effort if this part of the process had been held with a higher regard. It felt from our perspective that once the shell was complete, focus for EcoZen went to the next job whilst our job shifted to be less of a priority to complete. That said, we are genuinely happy with the finished product. Our pool is classy, modern, and built to a high standard — a beautiful addition to our home that we’re proud of and excited to enjoy. Overall: EcoZen delivers a high-quality product and demonstrates strong expertise in design and early-stage project management. Their responsiveness to communication and issues when raised was excellent. We only wish that the same level of customer service and attentiveness had carried through to the very end of the process. We would recommend their service with advice to press the communication and be the needy customer to get best results.
We could not have been happier with how the entire project turned out. This was a full yard transformation for us and Sean was amazing with coordonating and managing the project. Informative at every step, great workmanship. We would absolutely work with Ecozen again!
Happy Customer – Professional service from design to handover of our beautiful pool. Highly recommend
An amazing team for an amazing result – Sean and the Ecozen team were amazing to deal with. They not only kept us informed at every step of the way about what would happen before, during, and next, but they also provided us with a range of suggestions and options regarding the finishes for our pool. Their expertise allowed us to explore different materials and styles, ensuring we made… Read more
an informed decision that perfectly fit our vision. Lucy and Sean were always ready to answer questions promptly and to explain and accommodate any requests.
Pool Review - Ecozen – Sean and the team at Ecozen were wonderful. They were punctual, thoughtful, adaptive to changes due to weather or delays by contractors. Sean was onsite if there was external companies coming on site. You could tell he genuinely wanted the best pool to suit our needs with a young family. We are so very happy with the pool and area - it is way… Read more
better than what I expected. His work ethic was superb - we will definitely be recommending Ecozen for anyone wanting a pool. I wish him and his company all the very best!
Ecozen - A personal touch! – Sean's hands-on project management was one of the primary reasons for selecting Ecozen for our pool project. He was on-site regularly, coordinating various contractors and addressing all of our questions and queries. Sean accommodated some variations that we requested and assisted us in designing a complete backyard transformation, not just the… Read more
pool.
Despite a few delays with the weather, the project was completed within the required timeframe and we are so happy with the end result. His contractors and admin team kept us up to date at all times during the project and made the whole experience seamless.
Highly recommend working with Sean and his team on your next project.
Terrible finishes around Badu Swim Jet knobs – With our new Pool, we included the Badu Swim Jet solution. EcoZen did install all the necessary infrastructure. But after their Tiler finished their job there is a large gap around each knob (Tiles meant to go flush with the knobs) plus each Knob comes out with different measures (the wall was not straight). As expected EcoZen do not want to know… Read more
about it and ignored our calls and messages. Yes the knobs work, but the finished job is terrible. Check out the pictures and if you are happy with this quality go ahead and engage them. We would not engage them.
Project managers that deliver on quality builds – A quality building company that we highly recommend. We just had our Pool built by Sean and his team. The project management approach won us over right from the start and he backed it up by constantly being on site to meet all the trades and answer any of our question. This kind of personal service is rare especially in construction and he goes… Read more
above and beyond for his clients. This is evident in the quality of workmanship and his attention to detail.
The project was completed in 8 just weeks including the paving and the pool fencing which was impressive so we added more to the build with a new driveway. Nothing was ever a hassle and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. These guys don’t do lots of projects but focus on the big ones like ours and we couldn’t be happier with how the project was delivered. On budget, on time and with a smile.
All the trades were first class and always cleaned up after themselves which we appreciate. Lucy in the office always kept us updated and helped us with our selections so it's a great team both on and off site.
We love our new Ecozen backyard – Our new outdoor space has just been completed by Ecozen and we are so happy we just wanted to publicly thank Sean and the Ecozen team. We were referred to Ecozen by friends of ours who also had their back yard makeover done by Sean and we could see the quality of the work straight away when we were there for a pool party. They spoke very highly… Read more
of his attention to detail and professional project management approach, now we do too.
They looked after everything from the design stage, building approvals and all the way through the construction of each stage to handover.
Sean met us on site regularly to introduce us to each trade and go over the finer details of our build which we appreciated. Each trade was passionate about the project and this is evident in the pride they all took in their contribution to the overall build.
We could not be happier with the personalised service, professional project management and quality of construction on our project.
Thanks again team. Renee and Peter
Highly recommend Ecozen Pools – Our experience with Ecozen Pools has been amazing! Our home now feels like a resort and our kids love it. From the very first meeting the entire team were professional and made the whole process easy for us. Highly recommend Ecozen Pools!
Thank you Ecozen we love our new pool – We engaged Ecozen pools for our project because we wanted the complete package and they delivered. Sean managed our entire pool build on site and met with us regularly to check on the quality and update us of the progress. The entire process ran smoothly even with rain delays. The quality of construction is first class from all the trades and… Read more
the project management approach always made us feel like we were in good hands.
We have recommended Sean and the Ecozen team to our neighbours and they are building with them currently as well and they have also experienced the same level of service and quality.
Overall a great experience with a professional company that values their customers and their feedback.
5 Stars for professional service and build quality – We highly recommend Sean and the entire Ecozen team for anyone looking for a professional team offering a quality design and personalised construction experience. Our project was a breeze with constant project updates and we love the final result. All of the trades went above and beyond on our project. The project was managed by the office and… Read more
by Sean the owner who was on site at every stage to ensure the details came together just the way we wanted it.
We know 3 other families that have also had this high level of quality service on their projects with Ecozen, so we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a premium pool and landscape company.
Thanks again team, we love our pool!
Amazing design and build – Very happy with the pool design and build. This was our first pool build so having an understanding builder who could step us through the design and build process was very much appreciated. Top class trades - a big shout-out to quality tilers and Harding Fencing for the constant communication and ensuring we were fully informed and happy… Read more
through-out the build. Every minor detail they treated as being important to ensure the best quality build possible.
We choose the Naked Pools fresh filtration system and the after sales service has been excellent. Will definitely be choosing this system again.
Will be choosing the Ecozen team for our next pool design and build after this positive experience.

Finally got the pool of our dreams – Sean and the team at poolfabs are highly professional, and have delivered our pool to such an impeccable standard. Lucy specifically has gone above and beyond during the pool build to ensure that the construction of our pool was as smooth as possible. Lucy's communication during the build was extremely thorough, consistently following up with… Read more
3rd parties and keeping us in the loop with what's happening.
Overall im really happy with our build, well worth the wait.
A quality builder with personal service – We are very happy clients and we highly recommend both the Ecozen and POOLFAB teams. These guys focus on quality over quantity and it shows in the projects they completed like ours. Personal service, onsite quality control and a team of trades that take pride in what they do. 5 stars and keep up the great work.
We highly recommend Ecozen Pools – We love our new pool thank you Ecozen. 5 stars from the start of the project all the way through the build, which was a big project for us, to the final handover. A great team of trades and we could not be happier with the service and the quality from everyone involved. A special thank you to the girls in the office who were with us every step of the way with updates.
Best pool ever – Ecozen (and Poolfab) have just completed our amazing "half out of ground" concrete pool. It looks AMAZING! Chris is an absolute wealth of knowledge and was so helpful not just with the pool, but helped us with the other trades as well. The build quality is second to none, and I cannot recommend these guys more.
Ecozen/PoolFab = RUN AWAY! – First of all be aware that the "pool builder of the year" thing is as dodgy as they are. I called SPASA who award them this as I was shocked based on my experience and they told me that they self nominate...so they nominated themselves, for all the awards, and they "won" because of the volume etc they do, not because of any form of quality. To… Read more
the review - Every...single...step was just painful! Don't even consider them.
Step 1 - Layout - They didn't allow enough slab for a pool gate and the pool fence (kind of necessary). I picked it up prestart and were told no probs we'll fix it. Step 2 - Dig day - The actual owner [Name Removed] (very cocky and rude) marked the pool and surrounds out. I reminded him at the start there was an issue with the layout re pool gate and he said no worries...then still marked it out incorrectly. I pointed it out and rather than say "gee thanks, you saved us some dramas" I was told it would now be a variation of over $1000 (for 200mm of concrete) and that if I didnt agree to it he would send the excavator back and charge me for it. He also said "mate why dont you let me be the project manager and you just enjoy your new pool"...all while messing up the markout... Step 3 - Excavation - We were forecast for rain for 2 weeks and I asked to just delay rather than risk collapses. They promised me it would be dug on Wednesday and concreted Friday avoiding that. Yeah, that didn't happen and the pool sides all collapsed in and they wanted to charge me to redig it... Step 4 - Plumbing - All the plumbing had to be redone by professionals we engaged as, to quote them, "this is the worst we've ever seen". We had 9 90degree bends from the heat pump to the chlorinator...should be about 3 tops (which is how it was redone). They also put the chlorinator below the top of the filter, this apparently can cause gas to become trapped and can be quite dangerous. Plumbing was done by their head builder mind you...words can't explain how much effort we had to go to to get this fixed... Step 5 - swim jets - we had $8500 swim jets installed... they installed them crooked, compromising their effectiveness. Concreted in, cant fix...
I could go on and on about how they ruined the new chlorinator and needed to fix it, how the overflow pipe wasn't installed correctly making it useless, how their staff kept urinating on my house and over the time they took to build it has stained my house and smelled terrible. How they are amazing when selling you their crap, always responding to emails etc, then literally the moment you pay the deposit and sign you suddenly cannot get a hold of the anyone.
They made something that should have been exciting and for us to look forward to the most painful, frustrating and stressful reno/trade experience we've had (and we've renovated and flipped 5 houses). This was supposed to be our "forever" home. Now I cant stand to look at the pool and we're selling...
Overall, not great experience – Also known as ecofab pools, we signed a contract in March 2021 with directions to commence anytime they want to ensure pool is completed by that summer. The design and consultation process went well and there were some really good suggestions in design. We dug the hole in late July 2021, completed in Jan2022. We were very disappointed with that… Read more
timeline or we would have started earlier. Some issues we faced: - serious questions around excessive dig fees. Don't think it was the company ripping us off, it was their subcontractors. There was a small attempt to look into it, but it got too hard for them, and we had to wear the cost. - after the 1st pour of concrete we were advised they would be back in 4 weeks. It took 12 weeks and alot, alot of chasing to get that to happen. - little quality issues that although minor, just demonstrated a lack of attention to detail. These included: - pouring concrete slab slightly too short so that the tiles had overhang and risk breaking. They pack the underneath with concrete to counter. - pouring slab 30mm too short from fence line so that it didn't meet pool gap compliance. I had to rectify. - waterline tiles. When preping the surface, they didn't allow for the full sheet of tiles to be fitted, 2 rows short meaning a waste of tiles which we paid for. - fence fittings fell apart and rusted immidately. They put me in contact with the subcontractor and wanted me to organise the rectification. Never got fixed, did it myself. - Pool pump seazied on start up. They replaced it but it was due to glue from pipes entering impeller, showing poor workmanship.
Overall, a terrible experience and very stressful. Communication was hopeless, often ad hoc and clearly no real reliable schedule being followed, just flying by the seat of their pants.
Towards the end, they just stopped addressing my questions and sent the final invoices. We had enough of each other by that stage!
Pros: Good designs. The designer is being wasted there. She should go out on her own and stick with that. Any company can build the pool.
Cons: Unprofessional, disorganised and unreliable. Questionable quality and communication was horrible.
Verdict: Simply not worth the risk when spending so much $$, so find another builder. Not sure how they are still operating, good thing they don't rely on repeat work.
Only reason we give them 2 stars is that we were lucky to have the pool completed – As many of the more recent experience, it has been a nightmare of incompetence and total absence of project management,both technically with no planning and humanely with no visit to site when required.some of their sub contractors were good ,and we manage to get it completed after 7 months for a small 4x6 rectangle pool with no weather rock or… Read more
similar issue. could have been worse, many of their customers have no pool after a year So do not use and run...
