Our licensed technology will allow pool builders to save money on both material and labor cost. This ultimately provides the consumer with the pool of their dreams in a fraction of the time.
Current Status
To this date we have preformed over 40+ interviews with both consumers and industry experts validating both the demand and feasibility of our solution.
We have filed a provisional utility patent.
We have a customer who has agreed to pay for our first install which we plan to do after getting our designs approved by an engineer of record.
Currently we are looking for engineering help in regards to our connection details and testing the structural integrity of our design.
Problem or Opportunity
Purchasing and installing a pool can be a very lengthy process. The construction and installation of an inground concrete pool usually takes 8-12 weeks. Additionally, it is very likely the consumer will spend a length of time on a waitlist before construction can begin. Recently a local consumer indicated they spent 8 months on a waitlist before construction began.
Through our research, we uncovered several major inefficiencies which builders face during the construction process. These inefficiencies slow down the builder and in turn, delay the time in which a consumer can enjoy their pool.
Solution (product or service)
Our solution to this problem is our revolutionary inground concrete pool construction process.
The process consists of manufacturing a series of precast concrete slabs which are reinforced with rebar. These slabs will vary in shape and size and will be stored on hand in inventory. The strategic design of the slabs will allow them to be connected in various ways. This allows builders to assemble our slabs to provide consumers with multiple design options.
Business model
We will partner with a manufacturing facility. We plan to manufacture and store our slabs at a precasting facility which we will then license to pool builders so that they can build and install pools with our technology.
We plan to purchase our slabs for $15,000 and sell for $20,000 as well as charge a 4% royalty on the final sale price of the pool. This saves pool builders not only on their material cost but labor cost as well. Allowing pool builder to increase their margin will incentivize them to market and sell our pools.
Incubation/Acceleration programs accomplishment
We competed in the I2e Loves Entrepreneurs Cup. We were finalist and placed in the top 6 among over 780 applicants.
