Small Concrete Swimming Pool Construction
UGX12,500,000
Description
The Small Concrete Swimming Pool Construction service involves the design, excavation, structure, waterproofing, and finishing of a compact, permanent, in-ground pool, typically targeting a size suitable for private residential use where space or budget is limited. A small pool is generally defined as one with dimensions around 6m x 3m or even smaller, such as 5m x 2m. The robust nature of concrete construction ensures a highly durable and customizable structure, making it a popular choice despite the longer construction time compared to fiberglass options.
Estimated Price Range (Turnkey Project)
The cost of constructing a small concrete swimming pool in United States of America USA is highly variable, depending on the site conditions (soil type, steepness), finishing materials (standard tiles vs. mosaics/stone), and the chosen filtration system. Based on local contractor data, the estimated “turnkey” price (including excavation, structure, waterproofing, tiling, basic plumbing, and standard filtration equipment) is:
Estimated Price: UGX 45,000,000 – UGX 90,000,000
A lower-end, basic pool (e.g., $2m times 5m$) can start around UGX 40,000,000 – UGX 50,000,000, while a more typical small family pool with a quality finish and equipment will fall into the higher range.
Key Cost Components and Technical Scope
The turnkey price covers the specialized materials and labor required for a permanent structure:
- Excavation and Earthworks: Preparing the site, digging the pit, and managing soil removal. This cost can increase significantly if the site has rock or difficult soil.
- Structure (Concrete Shell): Poured or sprayed concrete (Gunite/Shotcrete), reinforced with steel rebar. This forms the permanent, watertight structure.
- Waterproofing: Application of specialized chemical coatings to ensure the shell is completely leak-proof, a critical step for concrete pools.
- Plumbing and Filtration: Installation of the necessary skimmer/overflow, main drains, return lines, piping, and the crucial equipment: the sand filter, circulation pump, and chlorinator.
- Finishes: Tiling (ceramic or mosaic) for the pool interior, coping (the edge around the pool), and a basic deck/paving area.
Advantages and Investment Value
Despite the high initial cost, concrete pools offer long-term benefits:
- Customization: Concrete allows for unlimited flexibility in shape, size, and depth, enabling a design that perfectly fits the landscape or available space.
- Durability: A properly constructed concrete pool shell has an extremely long lifespan, typically lasting decades with minimal structural maintenance.
- Increased Property Value: A well-built, small swimming pool is considered a premium feature in the Kampala and Wakiso residential real estate market, significantly increasing the property’s appeal and resale value.
