Things to Consider Before Purchasing an Indoor Sports Complex

Indoor Sports Complex

An indoor sports complex is perfect for indoor track, basketball, indoor football, gymnastics, soccer, lacrosse, tennis, equestrian facilities and professional sporting teams. Let us go over a few things to consider when purchasing.

Zoning:
Ensuring that your indoor Sports Complex is properly zoned is an absolute must. This can impact you beyond being able to build. Your building department should be the first stop before purchasing a Sports Complex. Your local building department can help guide you with all the necessary rules for permitting your project.
Parking requirements:
Some would think this is not a big deal, however, parking extends beyond accommodating customer’s cars. Parking lots can be used to host events outside of your prefab sports complex. Additionally, the added space could be used to extend a game or indoor activity from inside to out.
Anatomy of a Steel BuildingCeiling height:
A minimum ceiling height of 24’ is needed for any indoor prefabricated sports complex. Depending on the use, 20’ ceiling height could be used, however, taller is better.
Insulation:
In most cases, due to increasingly stringent building codes, your permit/building department will require the building to have insulation to permit and ultimately build. Furthermore, insulation has excellent acoustic properties. This way you can keep the game going late into the night and not be a bother to the surrounding business/community. Lastly, consider a heavy-duty vinyl or PVC faced insulation for durability and longevity.
Your business plan:
Who are your customers? Do you plan on serving a wide-range of sports? (turf sports, court sports, fitness centers, etc). If yes, what consideration are there, court size, construction/design, equipment.

Anatomy of a Steel Building: Standing Seam and Screw Down Roofing Systems. Last week, in our 4-part blog series titled, The  Anatomy of a Steel Building :Rigid Frames, Purlins & Girts,    we discussed the different types of first and secondary support systems in a prefab steel building. We suggest going back and reading that post once you’re done  here . This week’s topic of discussion is two standard types of roofing systems, the differences  between them, and the pros and cons for both. Standing Seam: The standing seam panel is amongst the most versatile, durable and maintenance-free types of roofing system. Standing seam panels are installed using a clip and interlock design which conceals fasteners and prevents water from leaking in. See figure below of a typical detail for a double lock panel. Please note this is just one of many types of standing seam panels. Check with the steel structure company you are working with to see other available options.

What Everybody Should Know About Steel Buildings

From first-time builders to the urban planner, when it comes to prefabricated buildings, there are a few key points every non-industry guy and gal should know. What Everybody Ought to Know About Prefabricated Steel Buildings Efficient Fabrication In the golden age of automation, efficiency is key. Due to advanced CAD/CAM processes, fabrication of  steel buildings  produce minimal raw material waste yet still able to meet the strictest strength-to-weight ratios. In fact, steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any material, 25 times greater than wood. A lighter frame translates into a more cost-effective foundation and the ability to add other materials with less concern for the completed building weight.  Shorter Construction Time Steel buildings are designed and pre-built for easy reassembly at the manufacturing plant. Site preparation, such as the preparation and foundation placement, can be completed as the building is being manufactured. Once complete, the
