The cost of building a swimming pool in Kenya

A swimming pool can add a lot of aesthetic value to your property and countless years of enjoyment to your life. You need to keep in mind that the cost of installing a pool has many variables that even broad estimates vary. Apart from the type of pool (above and in-ground) and extra features you opt for, there are additional cost factors to consider too. These could be size of the pool, location of the pool, ground preparation cost, material cost, pool equipment cost, labor. All these may make a huge difference in your pool’s overall construction cost.

On average, the cost of building a swimming pool in Kenya varies. Swimming pool installation costs around Kshs 2,000,000. The range is huge, you could be spending as low as Kshs 1,800,000 to as high as Kshs 6,500,000.

Inground pool cost factors

 Size of the pool The installation cost depends upon the size you have chosen. A small pool (60 sq metres) and a large pool (200 sq metres) may see a price difference of at least Kshs 2,000,000. It is because of the additional materials as well as labor costs.

 Ground Preparation Cost also depends on the amount of work the crew has to do in order to prepare the soil and install the pool. While sandy soil is easier to dig, a sloped or rocky yard would require more effort and time. Additionally, if the crew doesn’t have easy access to the site, they may need additional equipment.  

Add-on features If you choose to customize your pool with a pool heater, slides, diving boards waterfall, or spa, pool prices will go up. You can also have to opt for safety features such as fencing, pool enclosure, and locking gate.
