Efficient Pool Delivery Through Builder Partnership Model

Wholesale Pool Shells delivered a custom in-ground pool at Willow, providing builders control, efficiency, and seamless execution.

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.”

With over three decades of HVAC experience, Aircon Masters is known for precision, reliability, and end-to-end service. Engaged by Azure, the team delivered high-performance air conditioning systems for every home in Willow, ensuring lasting comfort and efficiency.

“Aircon Masters was engaged to design, supply and install ducted air conditioning systems for all 76 townhouses at Willow by Azure. We worked closely with Azure’s design team to deliver a tailored HVAC solution,” explained Kane Masters, Owner. “For this project, we installed 10kW Fujitsu ducted systems, chosen for their proven performance in Queensland’s climate, energy efficiency, and reliability.”

The company managed the process end-to-end, from design through to commissioning, and continues to provide after-sales support to both property managers and residents. “For that extra peace of mind, our role extends beyond handover, and Aircon Masters continues to provide after-sales support and assistance,” Kane said.

Comfort and energy efficiency were key considerations. “We draw on over 30 years of experience and use HVAC software to calculate heat loads, for every layout. This ensures consistent comfort and control without unnecessary energy consumption,” said Kane. The inclusion of zone control allows residents to cool or heat only the spaces they need, reducing running costs.

The two-storey terrace format presented some challenges with duct runs and vent placement. “Every project presents unique design constraints, and our team develops tailored solutions to deliver the best outcome – no shortcuts,” Kane noted.

Aircon Masters’ long-standing collaboration with Azure highlights the company’s reputation for reliability and expertise in large-scale residential projects. “Our work at Willow reflects our ability to deliver HVAC solutions at scale while maintaining strict quality control,” Kane said. With 10 projects now completed with Azure, our focus on consistency and high-quality workmanship remains the same.

Step by Step. Heritage Craftsmanship for Modern Living

Aussie Timber Stairs unites traditional craftsmanship with modern construction methods to deliver bespoke, enduring timber stair solutions.

Aussie Timber Stairs

With more than six decades of experience, Aussie Timber Stairs continues to combine traditional joinery with contemporary construction methods to meet the demands of modern residential design. At Willow by Azure, the company manufactured and installed bespoke timber staircases across 76 terrace homes, delivering a consistent standard of craftsmanship, durability, and design alignment throughout the community.

“Our scope on this project was to manufacture and install the stairs and wall rails in each unit,” explained Corinne Nelson, co-owner of Aussie Timber Stairs. “Every staircase is built with the same care and attention to detail that has defined our family-owned business for more than six decades.”

“From its beginnings in Melbourne under founder Keith Mason, Aussie Timber Stairs has grown into a respected, multi-generational company. Today, the business is operated out of Molendinar, Queensland, with a skilled team of joiners and installers who carry forward that legacy of excellence. “In an industry where size often overshadows substance, we’ve chosen a different path,” Nelson said. “What sets us apart is our commitment to craftsmanship, personal service, and the relationships we build along the way.”

At Willow, that commitment translated into bespoke timber staircases designed to complement Azure’s contemporary architecture while providing durability and functionality for residents. Each staircase was manufactured in-house, then installed on site by Aussie Timber Stairs’ experienced team, ensuring precision and quality at every stage.

The project also highlights the company’s ongoing partnerships with leading developers. “We are currently working on other Azure communities as well as residential stairs for major builders across South East Queensland,” Corinne noted.

For Aussie Timber Stairs, the value lies in enduring workmanship and partnership. By pairing heritage craftsmanship with precision manufacturing, the company continues to support builders and developers in achieving design excellence and long-term performance. “Because for us, it’s never just about stairs,” Corinne said. “It’s about standing behind what we build with heart, heritage, and integrity.”
