PLANNING SEQUENCE

Work in this order.

01

Audit the existing club

Document members, programmes, peak use and the physical assets the club already owns.

02

Find the actual constraint

Identify whether the bottleneck is surface condition, capacity, weather, lighting, circulation, storage or something else.

03

Set the upgrade hierarchy

Rank safety and maintenance work first, then participation growth, operating-hour improvements and optional additions.

04

Coordinate compatible stages

Plan surfaces, lighting, covers, seating, technology, access and services so each stage supports the next.

05

Build the club brief

Separate immediate works, later stages, Apollo supply scope and local project responsibilities in one review package.

DECISION WORKSHEET

Questions the project team should answer.

01

What currently limits the club most: condition, capacity, operating hours, weather, member experience or maintenance?

02

Which existing assets can be retained, repaired or repurposed?

03

What are the measured dimensions and known conditions of the areas being upgraded?

04

What new activity or capacity does the club genuinely expect to support?

05

Which upgrades must happen together because of foundations, power, drainage, access or layout?

06

What can be staged without creating expensive rework later?

07

Who owns maintenance, local works, installation, engineering and approvals after supply?

08

What information is still missing before the club can compare realistic project pathways?
