I think the thing that lacks from a customer perspective is the communication and understanding of what steps are involved in putting a pool in. It's a hefty investment, worthy of some communication I would've thought!

I'm not sure how well modern non-concrete ones hold up, but I wouldn't do it again.

Modern pool equipment has taken pretty well all of the work out of pools. Filter monitors water quality and adjusts pH and chlorine as required. Multi speed pumps cheaper to run. Robo cleaners have just about eliminated manual vacuuming.
These days just sit back and enjoy!

As a small business owner I received a grant from the tax office, in the vicinity of 35k.
Knowing it would be in the 50k range to get a pool, we never considered it. Now we have considered it, given we are North Eastern suburbs and the beach is long way away. So we bit the bullet recently, based upon recommendations from others who have done the same thing. The all said, "the final product is great, but the experience is horrible".
Anyway, we have a pool in the ground, but because of our sloping block, we don't have retaining walls and hence don't have the finished product just yet. This summer has reminded us why we decided us to go with a pool heater - we don't seem to get the Adelaide summers we used to get (or is it just me?)

Is the grant you mean Job Keeper or is there a specific grant you can apply for to build a pool? I have also pondered having a pool, but the cost and messing around/digging up of the backyard puts me off making the first step.

That was pretty much our experience too. "Project Manager" was onsite once, before any work was begun. Never saw or heard from him again.
Any communication came from the office girls, scheduling and such. This info was often wrong and the "wrong" was often my fault apparently.
Contractors were all good though.
