Wholesale Pool Shells brings a builder-focused delivery model to complex aquatic installations, offering developers greater control over cost, quality, and programme. At Willow, the company was engaged by Azure to deliver the community pool, a custom in-ground structure requiring detailed coordination between architectural intent and structural design.

“Our scope included the install of the structural concrete pool shell which was a custom in-ground shell,” explained Director Ewan Moody. “We supplied the Pebblecrete finish to the interior of the pool and we supplied and installed all the filtration, lighting and plumbing.”

The project required close collaboration with Azure’s design team to achieve the right balance of form and function. “This particular pool took a fair bit of input between us and the design team at Azure to get right,” Ewan said. “There were a few mixed elements of the pool and the surrounds that needed to meet as seamlessly as possible whilst still offering the benefit of low maintenance and longevity.”

Unlike prefabricated pool models, Wholesale Pool Shells’ builder-based approach allows clients to maintain control of budget and timeline while outsourcing the most complex aspects of construction. “For Azure we take care of 75% of the pool installation working within their budget and schedule and they take care of the rest,” Ewan noted. “For other builders we might only do 50% and offer them the resources to coordinate their finishes at their own pace.”

Looking ahead, Wholesale Pool Shells has a growing pipeline of residential and commercial work, including two swim schools in Brisbane and several more projects with Azure across South East Queensland.

“Each project is a valuable lesson in how we can create efficiencies in what we do to benefit our clients,” Ewan said. “We hope our partnership with Azure encourages other builders and developers of this scale to give our model a try.”

A Gripping Performance: Durability Meets Design

A&E Tiling delivered durable, high-performance tiling and waterproofing for elite sports and high-traffic spaces.

A&E Tiling Services

A&E Tiling Services brought their signature precision, experience, and attention to detail to the Parramatta Eels NRL Centre of Excellence and Community Facility. With over 15 years in the industry, and led by Director, Yahya Hamdan, the team was responsible for delivering all tiling and waterproofing works across the landmark project.

“We completed floor preparation, tiling, and waterproofing across both buildings,” Yahya said. “That included high-use areas like the pool surrounds, change rooms, balconies, kitchen, and café, spaces that needed to look great but also handle serious wear and tear.”

As a high-performance training facility for elite athletes, every surface needed to combine durability, safety, and visual appeal. Yahya and his experienced crew of 20 delivered on that brief, working closely with other trades to ensure consistency across finishes. Their scope also included paving works, helping shape both the indoor and outdoor experience for players and visitors alike.

One of the most demanding elements was the pool surround tiling, which required careful planning and flawless waterproofing to ensure long-term performance. “There’s no room for shortcuts in an environment like this,” Yahya added. “Everything needs to be durable, slip-resistant, and visually aligned with the centre’s world-class design.”

The Parramatta Eels COE project is a proud addition to A&E Tiling Services’ growing portfolio, which includes high-end residential work in Mosman and Rozelle, warehouses in Kemps Creek, and commercial projects like Westfield Mt Druitt.

With a reputation built on quality, reliability, and collaboration, A&E Tiling continues to be a trusted name in large-scale and bespoke tiling solutions. Their work at the Eels Centre of Excellence reflects their ability to deliver excellence on some of Sydney’s most high-profile builds.
