Advice
One of the benefits of talking to Continental when planning your facility is our experience of hundreds of similar projects over the past 40 years.
We provide a consultancy service to architects, quantity surveyors, builders and owners of sites to help you so that you do not have to re-invent the wheel when designing your facility.
This valuable service is provided free from the early planning stage, through the tender specification stage and onwards hopefully until completion of your project. All that we ask in return is that we are able to submit a quotation for the equipment that you ultimately specify.
We repeatedly come across the same issues and problems on projects, so to help you avoid repeating mistakes that we have seen before we have compiled the most common pitfalls in our Sports Hall Design FAQs here
STOP PRESS: Sport England has recently (October 2011) announced a change to the recommended size of sports halls. You can download their new document "Developing the Right Sports Hall" here.
