When it comes to developing or redeveloping a recreation facility, the foundation of a successful project is a well-thought-out Master Plan. A famous quote by Benjamin Franklin rings especially true in this context: “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” At SPORTENG, we specialise in creating Master Plans that not only meet but exceed expectations, ensuring your vision for a sports facility becomes a reality.
What is a Master Plan, and Why Does it Matter?
A Master Plan is much more than a design or blueprint—it’s a strategic roadmap for the future use of your facility. It outlines the structural purpose of the land while considering the connections between the built environment and the surrounding natural areas. Whether it’s a community sports ground or a large-scale sports field, a well-developed Master Plan guides planning, investigation, and design efforts, helping you achieve long-term success while maintaining sustainability.
At SPORTENG, we understand that each Master Plan is unique and must address the needs of various users, including athletes, spectators, maintenance teams, and the surrounding community. Our plans are not just functional but also sustainable, promoting a positive environmental impact. By delivering high-quality, sustainable outcomes, SPORTENG positions clients for success in securing strong grant funding—a critical step in turning ambitious plans into reality.
SPORTENG’s Master Plan Process
Our proven process ensures that every aspect of your facility is meticulously planned and tailored to meet current and future needs with sustainability in mind.
Defining the Vision
Every great project begins with a clear vision. SPORTENG collaborates with your team to define the facility’s goals and key drivers, ensuring the vision is innovative, sustainable, and aligned with your needs. Through benchmarking similar sports fields and engaging in stakeholder consultation, we develop a comprehensive understanding of user requirements and ensure long-term sustainability.
Exploring Options
We create options for the site, identify opportunities, evaluate existing infrastructure, and incorporate current trends. Feedback from stakeholders is essential at this stage, as it ensures the project remains user-focused and forward-thinking. Site investigations are also conducted if known complexities have been observed.
Cost Estimates
A Master Plan is only as strong as its feasibility. SPORTENG leverages its extensive cost library to produce reliable probable cost estimates, helping you determine financial practicality and secure funding or budget approvals.
SPORTENG’s Master Plan Services
