:: 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, as you tour your club, and someone says, "why don't we do this" or "we ought to change this" and you say "might as well". 

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

:: 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 remodeling 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 depending on certain issues, some are much better than others.
