Coaching to lead teams of employees and subbies

Experienced pool builders know the importance of having the onsite trades work well together. The high value and complexity of pool builds means it’s critical to get every install right. Errors in the process – particularly mistakes that happen early on in a project – often can’t be seen until the damage bill has blown out. At that point fixes are at best inconvenient and at worst very expensive, sometimes ending up in legal battles.

That’s why business coaching focuses on building high performing teams of employees, subcontractors and suppliers. Some of the key areas we work on with you are:

  • Repeatable Training: Developing SOPs and banking the knowledge so your labourers can learn and revisit the training on an as-needs basis.
  • KPIs that Drive Efficiency: Track and improve key areas of profitability: timeframe to complete pool from site level to handover, billable hours unbillable hours, charge-out rates, profitability by project stage.
  • Supplier and Subcontractor Relationships: Lock in strong relationships with the skilled workers and suppliers that enable you to deliver quality builds from excavator operators, tipper drivers, sprayers, tilers and pool inspectors. Everyone counts.

Lead a high performing team that grows with your business. Explore what’s possible today.

Back your pool building business with a specialist coach

Customised pool builder business coaching to improve your marketing, operations, systems and pipeline of installs.

Running a busy pool building business can feel like being a ringmaster of a circus. As specialist tradie business coaches we know that pool building is different from the other sectors of the construction industry. You have many more moving parts than the average trade: every project is a complex mix of schedules, approvals, managing multiple suppliers of materials and specialist services. Having good relaible subbies that turn up on time and do a good job is a critical success factor. Add to that the complexity of site access for excavation and then crane access, and no two projects are the same.

We get it. It takes skill and experience to coordinate all the moving parts to get a pool built successfully. With serious costs and very little room for margin of error, you need to minimise mistakes and maximise margins. So you have to make sure that all the resources you’re putting in pay off.

Whether your leads come from above the line marketing (like social media, Google Ads, Facebook promotions, site signage) or you get most of your enquiries from word of mouth referrals from satisfied clients, a high converting sales funnel is essential.

And the competition over clients isn’t the only battle ground. Recruiting technicians and labourers requires the right mix of abilities. High skilled team members are needed for tasks like operating the excavator and leveling a fibreglass pool or an infinity edge, compared to lower skilled tasks like barrowing spoil that can be done by apprentices. When you do recruit your team, you then need to retain and develop them further.

We’ve been delivering business coaching services for over 20 years. As Australia’s most awarded coaching firm we know what it takes to get ahead of the competition. With a commitment to delivering positive ROI on coaching, our effort shows where it counts: in your bank account.
