Q1-Based on the Bona vista pool case case how many pools could the company make if it were to hire a senior nozzle operator and considering its in-house activities only. How many pools could the company make if it outsources the shotcrete process?

BonaVista specialized in making shotcrete in-ground pools. With pool contracts ranging from $80,000 to

$150,000, the average pool contract was $115,000 and the average margin 28.5 per cent.

The average income for a shotcrete pool consumer was $120,000 in 2015.

Excavation could vary from one to three days, typically averaging two days.

Once the site was dug out, the back side of the pool was built using a wood form. Forming the pool could

range from one to four days, depending on the complexity of the pool design, but took two days on

average. This step was also outsourced to contractors who specialized in pool forming.

Once the form was in place, steel rebar was added, forming the underlying foundation that held the pool

together. This work added an additional two days to the process and was done in-house by BonaVistas

production team.

The concrete shoot started early in the morning, ran for eight to 10 hours on average, and was completed

within one day

The plumbing and mechanical

equipment installation was done by BonaVistas team and usually took one day on average to complete.

BonaVista was hired to do the tile setting for

approximately 90 per cent of the pools it built but outsourced this process to one of the two or three pre-

approved tile setters, to reduce costs.

BonaVista was hired to do the stone coping on only approximately 40 per cent of the pools it built.

The marbelite application was subcontracted out to a company that was able to complete

at least one pool a day.

Senior nozzle operators earned an hourly wage of $24. To ensure the operator had

the required skills and was a good fit with the team, BonaVista planned to spend $1,000 for obtaining the

services of a headhunting agency and $2,000 for training.
