:: HOW TO START
Know your market !!!, a disco cannot be all things to all people.
Know what your theme is and be consistant.
Do you know the key to longevity?. Above all remember the three most important things for a successful disco are:

1) location
2) location
3) location

:: CONTRACTORS
Supervision and picking the right one. Who is the general contractor and are his sub-contractors capable? If you are not there who will be on site to protect your interests? Is this a new location or are you remodelling an existing one?

:: LOCATION TYPES
Free standing, shopping plaza, office building, hotel, beach, basement, first floor, or upper level, all are different with their own pros and cons. Choices, in square footage, levels and ceiling height are matters for serious consideration.

I am experienced in all of them, and some, depending on certain issues, are much better than others.

:: ABOUT CONTRACTORS
There are different problems. Know what your club should cost to build, furnish and open. Have bids finalized and leave some room for error. Remember, the phrase "might as well" as you tour your club while under construction.

If you say it to many times it can end up costing much more than you were planning when the final statement comes due.
