LUTHVAR COMPLETE · COMMUNITY FOOTBALL

A complete football ground for participation, schools and community competition.

A complete community-football package built around durable participation infrastructure, simple operations and staged growth. The objective is to deliver a proper football facility without importing unnecessary stadium complexity.

SITE ZONES

Plan the ground as connected operating zones.

The purpose is to expose interfaces early: players, spectators, lighting, maintenance, buildings and arrival all compete for space around the same field.

01

Playing zone

Natural or synthetic field, goals, run-off/surrounding pitch area and maintenance access.

02

Team zone

Home/away shelters, technical areas, officials and first-aid interface.

03

Spectator zone

Accessible viewing, compact bleachers or standing-edge areas with clear separation from play.

04

Lighting zone

Pole positions, glare/spill-light control, maintenance access and future expansion allowance.

05

Support zone

Storage, toilets/changing interface, equipment access and field-maintenance provision.

06

Arrival zone

Paths, gates, bicycle parking, shade, public-realm furniture and safe spectator arrival.

SYSTEM STATUS

Core, optional and project-specific layers.

This keeps the package complete without forcing every venue to buy every module.

BOQ FRAMEWORK

What a complete supply schedule needs to account for.

This is a scope framework, not a priced bill of quantities. Final quantities, models, dimensions and responsibilities come from the project drawings and supplier evidence.

Field system

  • Training / youth goals if required
  • Nets and spare nets
  • Anchors / sockets / wheels
  • Corner flags and match equipment

Containment

  • Low perimeter fencing

  • Maintenance gates
  • Player / spectator separation

Lighting

STAGED DELIVERY

The venue can grow without losing the master plan.

For schools, clubs and councils, staging can preserve capital while keeping future seating, technology and building expansion coordinated.

01

Core field

Field, goals, drainage/base interfaces and essential containment.

02

Extended hours

Add sports lighting once operating hours and neighbour/spill-light constraints are known.

03

Players & spectators

Add shelters, accessible viewing, bleachers, shade and simple match-day systems.

04

Amenity & training

Add pavilion, storage, TORVYR training and public-realm systems as the programme grows.

EVIDENCE GATE

What must be closed before the package is commercially frozen.

  • Exact football surface and any FIFA-related evidence matched to the selected source system.
  • Goal stability, anchoring and any certification claims checked against the exact model.
  • Ball-stop and fence foundations / wind engineering confirmed for the site.
  • Lighting photometric design and local electrical responsibilities confirmed before manufacture.
  • Bleacher / structure loads, rails, access and local approval route confirmed where spectator systems are included.
  • Local civil works, drainage, foundations, electrical works, installation and approvals clearly separated from Apollo supply scope.

NEXT STEP

Turn this framework into a project-specific football-ground scope.

Use the dedicated brief to define the site, competition level, surface, spectator target, lighting, buildings, technology and the modules Apollo should coordinate.
