For most schools and sports teams, the athletic program is a point of pride. One way to demonstrate their school spirit is by investing in a state-of-the-art sports complex. Choosing to upgrade or build a multi-sport complex is a big decision and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Athletic and business directors should consider all factors before moving forward with construction.
One of the most significant considerations is which contractor to choose. For over 25 years, American Athletic Track and Turf has earned the reputation of being the East Coast’s premier running track and artificial turf field builder. Here, we offer advice on how to choose between field construction companies and the advantages of working with our award-winning team.
Questions to Ask
Before settling on a contractor, think about what you hope to achieve with this project. This step will help you determine what you want most out of a contractor, which informs the questions you ask when deciding. We recommend asking the following questions:
How Much Experience Does the Contractor Have with Projects Like This?
Designing and constructing multi-sport complexes requires expert knowledge and skill. Years of experience are needed to understand all that goes into athletic facility construction and ensure it’s done properly. When deciding on a company, be sure to ask what experience they have and any references they can provide.
Are Maintenance and Repairs Included in the Contract?
Even after brand-new sports complexes are constructed, they still require necessary maintenance to ensure they remain in good condition. As the contractor if maintenance and repair services are included.
Additionally, ask whether or not the contractor’s services are covered under warranty. This will protect you should any adjustments be needed down the road.
How Long Will the Process Take?
A great question to ask that often gets overlooked is what does the construction project entail and how long will it take? Asking these questions will better prepare you for what’s required on your end, such as moving around schedules to account for the construction.
It’s also important to ask the details about the construction itself, such as what will the site inspection include and how will drainage issues be solved.
Is the Contractor an American Sports Builder’s Association Member?
For added peace of mind, consider working with a contractor who’s recognized by the American Sports Builder’s Association (ASPA). Ask the contractor for their credentials or any award that they’ve received for their work.
