From the planning stages to the finishing touches, a well-designed construction process lays the framework for long-term facility success. In this helpful overview, we explore key factors such as contractor sourcing, cost-saving considerations, construction details, and other relevant criteria to guide your facility construction project in the right direction.
Avoid Project Mistakes By Choosing a Credible Sports Contractor
Before the design process begins, it is highly recommended that you partner with a reputable football field construction company that has extensive experience with planning, permit acquisition, engineering, and construction processes. Also known as design-build contracting, choosing a facility partner that provides comprehensive project management ensures that all project planners, subcontractors, suppliers, and construction crews are on the same page.
Best of all, a centralized design-build model streamlines all aspects of the complex construction process. Instead of coordinating with multiple companies or dealing with delays and project mistakes because of contractors who operate independently, a design-build company serves as your single point of contact. A dedicated design-build construction company manages their own trusted subcontractors, organizes all construction phases under a single plan, and handles other priority details such as permitting and approvals. The result? Fewer construction delays, reduced project expenses, and ultimately, a superior design that brings out the best in athletic performance and fan enjoyment.
The Planning & Preparation Stages Begin
After outlining goals, budget, and other project fundamentals with the planning/engineering team, next steps such as on-site assessments, blueprint drafting/conceptual design, and submission processes for necessary permitting and approvals can commence.
During the early design stages, our soccer, football, and baseball field construction company also assists with:
- Selecting the best athletic surfaces for your project goals: From custom clay courts and rubber running tracks, to multi-purpose artificial turf solutions that maximize player safety and aesthetic appeal, we empower our facility partners with a wealth of versatile, long-lasting, and affordable surface solutions.
- Maximizing facility safety, visibility, and accessibility: Important project elements such as fencing, lighting, safety netting, and guest-friendly amenities can be incorporated into every plan. By complementing your project with worthwhile additions like resilient sports netting and a better lighting scheme, everyone in attendance benefits.
- Long-term project considerations & future upkeep: Budgeting ahead for future goals is another key consideration before construction begins. Our knowledgeable contractors can help you determine a clear projection plan, ensuring that your budget allocation effectively covers necessary considerations such as infill maintenance and surface repair needs.
Depending on the scope of your project and location, the initial planning and preparation phases often range from 3-6 months or longer depending on regulatory timelines and availability of necessary project materials.
Groundbreaking & Construction Phases
With a clearly defined blueprint and permits in hand, it’s time to begin the groundbreaking, surface development, and secondary construction phases. Depending on the type of surface or facility, early stages may involve extensive foundational work, or if working with a pre-existing athletic surface, such as an indoor court that is being renovated, installation of new courts or surfaces may begin immediately.
After the core structural work is complete, installation of turf, clay, rubber track, and other desired field features begins. Alongside the field installation or court construction tasks, other features such as fan seating amenities, concession areas, and utilities installations are also integrated.
Finishing Touches & Quality Assurance
Vivid sports facility projects come to life during the final stages. Now, it’s time to complete the pristine finish with field striping, custom logos, fencing, safety netting, and any other personalized touches you would like to integrate.
During the final stages, our contractors provide in-depth inspection and quality assurances. Additionally, all projects are backed by ongoing guidance and cost-effective maintenance support to keep your facility in pristine condition long after the construction process is complete.
