Sunrise Pools has gone on to build or renovate around 3,500 pools in the Sydney region to
date, and has accumulated an impressive swag of state, national and international awards for
pool construction and design.

Sunrise Pools grew rapidly on the strength of customer recommendations and so Peter
searched out and found a set of young sub contractors who were willing to learn the
techniques that Peter himself had honed from day one of building his own pool. He
trained these young, highly competent and enthusiastic tradesmen to build pools the
way he wanted them built – to the highest standards in quality and aesthetics. The
excavators, concreters and plumbers that began with Peter then formed the nucleus of
the Sunrise Pools Crew of today – a highly competent and professional team of skilled

tradesmen who take pride in not just building any old pool – they build Sunrise Pools.
Also as Peter's young family grew up around the pool business – they too became a
part of the Sunrise Pools crew – in the office and out on the construction sites.

When the pool was finished one of Peter's neighbours dropped by to have a look at the
finished result. At this moment Sunrise Pools was born. The neighbour was so impressed
that he immediately asked Peter to build him a new pool. As this pool was taking shape,
more neighbours dropped by to see what was going on. Word of mouth created such
unusual interest in Peter's pool designs that within eighteen months he had a list of ten
pools waiting to be built. By virtue of public demand, Peter made the choice to stop
contracting as an engineer and venture into pool building full time.

In 1974, the principal of our company – Peter Moore – was contracting as a structural
engineer, when he decided to design and build his own pool for his own family. Peter's
experience in engineering and his in-built determination to always produce work of the
highest standard led him to the decision to build the pool entirely on his own. Starting
with his own design, and after the normal local government approval process, Peter laid
the steel himself for the formwork, did the plumbing, installed the equipment and
finished the pool all by himself, out of working hours – while he was still working in a
regular 9 to 5 job.

Sunrise Pools: big enough for quality, small enough to care.
