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 more than 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 simply 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.
