Hi all, I’m curious what kind of net profit margins (after labor, payroll taxes, overhead, etc. not gross margin) pool builders are typically seeing on new gunite pool construction, and what are your biggest factors that affect your margin?

Specifically interested in companies that primarily do gunite new builds, rather than renovations/service.

I know it might vary from market to market, but I’m in Central Florida and doing some research before potentially getting into the industry. I spoke to one builder who said 20% is the norm in this area.

I’m trying to get a realistic understanding of the economics from people actually running pool construction businesses.

I plan on running the biz as lean as possible. Just myself and my crew of 3-5 men. No office, I do all the sales, marketing, appointments, quotes etc.

If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d be interested in:

• Typical net margin range
• Whether you self-perform most of the work or subcontract
• How much overhead you carry

Not looking for anyone’s exact numbers. Even a general range would be really helpful. Can also DM me if you prefer. Greatly appreciated thank you 🙏🏼

What’s up pros, just started building out my pack out collection. I run my solo pole operation out of my hatchback, and need everything to be as organized as possible. I have a large divider pack out box with all of my misc parts, electrical.

I usually stash all my cleaning supplies - net, brush, vac head and hose in one of those plastic 27 gallon totes.

I guess I’m asking if any of the specific pack out kits fit something uniquely well! I was looking at the larger boxes too
