Pinnacle has successfully built numerous sport venues from Seattle, Washington, to Atlanta, Georgia. Our experience with hands on day-to-day operations and a background in construction design, methods and sports construction management give us a unique understanding of the hundreds of nuances that can affect the liability and bottom line of indoor sport facilities and outdoor sports.
One of the most daunting and time-consuming tasks of the development of a sports facility is the development and sports and recreation construction process. This task is often so overwhelming that we have seen indoor sports facilities and outdoor sports struggle out of the gate because the Director or organizational staff has been "sucked" into the sports and recreation construction process. What to build, how much will (should) it cost, what timeframe will (should) it be completed by are all elements that "appear" to be the first priority to anyone getting into this business. Taking the time, energy and FOCUS off the organization's primary need which is to fill the indoor sports facility or outdoor sports complex and generate revenue. This distraction forces the organization to scramble after the indoor sports facility is complete instead on FOCUSING on the goal of opening the indoor sports facility or outdoor sports complex with a large number of customers already registered.
Pinnacle’s sports consultants can remove the burden of sports construction management from the staff's "to do" list. We act as the developer and project manager to guide the professionals involved toward the established completion date. Let us put you in contact with the organizations and contractors for which we have assisted in this process.
