A running track can be a valuable asset to a school, university, or athletic complex. Athletic directors and business directors want to make sure their running track is installed properly to support athlete performance and safety. That requires working with the correct running track builder.
American Athletic Track and Turf is an award-winning running track and artificial turf field builder serving clients throughout the East Coast states. Here, we explore common mistakes to avoid when selecting a sports construction company.
Don’t Rush to the Least Expensive Option to Save Money
School budgets are put in place to cover various expenses. Most of a school’s budget is allocated for educational purposes, meaning fewer resources for athletic activities. For this reason, administrators may be tempted to go with the most affordable installation company.
However, lower prices can mean lower-quality work. In many cases, companies cut corners to offer lower prices. This can mean more repairs and maintenance down the road, resulting in bigger expenses in the long run.
Reputable running track installation companies will offer affordable options without dropping their quality. American Athletics offers our SmartBuy Program. This program allows you to purchase facilities from previously bid contracts at prices that work for you. Not only does the program save your school money, but it also saves valuable time.
Don’t Assume All Providers Have the Same Qualifications
While all installation companies may offer the same sports field services, not all stand on the same level. Choosing a less-than-capable provider can lead to a host of concerns. Most importantly, it can mean unsafe conditions for your athletes. Choose a company with abundant experience in constructing sports facilities. Ask to see a provider’s previous work to get a better understanding of the quality and expertise they bring.
The professionals at American Athletic have years of experience in vital skills, such as project management and site work. Our team follows strict standards set forth by the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA). This effort ensures the crew you hire is rich with knowledge of the entire running track installation process.
Don’t Select a Company That Doesn’t Offer Warranties
A reputable running track builder will stand by their work. Warranties are a tell-tale sign of dependability and the providers’ experience.
To demonstrate to our clients the faith we have in our work, we proudly offer warranties on our services for up to 15 years after installation. Because American Athletic controls the entire running track design and installation process from sub-base to surface, you can be assured your running track is high-performing and built to last.
