As a Licensed Building Practitioner, I’ve spent decades on the tools, from restoring old villas to building new homes, and one thing I’ve always appreciated is how a well‑designed swimming pool or spa can completely transform a backyard. It’s not just a hole in the ground with water in it; it becomes part of how you live, relax, and spend time with your whānau.
But here’s the thing: the success of any pool or spa project comes down to the people you trust to build it. I’m often asked on my Newstalk ZB show, “Pete, who should I talk to about putting in a pool?” My answer is simple: start with a SPASA member.
SPASA members are committed professionals. They’re backed by an industry body that provides ongoing training, technical support, and up‑to‑date standards. That means when you work with a SPASA member, you’re not just getting someone who can dig a hole and pour concrete; you’re getting expertise, accountability, and workmanship you can rely on for years to come.
If you’re dreaming about turning that tired patch of lawn into a resort‑style space ready for summer gatherings, now is the time to start planning.
Come along to the Pool Spa Life Expo on April 11–12 at the Auckland Showgrounds. You’ll be able to talk directly with SPASA members, ask questions, compare ideas, and get solid advice.
I’ll be there facilitating sessions from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., so come say hello.
