Built for opening night.
Arenas, stadiums, ballparks and entertainment venues, scheduled backwards from a date that has already been sold.
What owners need from us.
The date is non-negotiable
Schedules, tickets and broadcasts are set before construction starts. There is no option to open late.
Long spans, heavy picks
Roof trusses, scoreboards and seating bowls involve some of the biggest lifts in building construction.
Event day is the real test
Concessions, vertical transportation, broadcast and crowd flow all have to work with tens of thousands of people inside.

How we deliver here.
The capabilities owners in this market rely on most.
One contract and one schedule built backwards from the first event.
Our own crews on the seating bowl concrete and structural steel.
Seats, scoreboards and roof steel tracked from the factory to the crane.
Test events and operator training before the doors open to the public.
A banked track, certified before the season.
A fieldhouse with a fixed meet calendar leaves no room for a late roof. Long-span trusses are assembled at grade and lifted in pairs, the track slab is surveyed after every pour, and the hydraulic banking is cycled under load before the surface goes down. Certification is the last milestone, so every activity before it is planned backward from the first meet.

Questions owners ask us.
How do you protect a fixed opening date?
The schedule is built backwards from the first event, with buffers on the critical path and early purchase of roof steel, seating and scoreboards.
How do you handle long-span roof erection?
We engineer the erection sequence, temporary shoring and crane picks in advance and rehearse major lifts before they happen.
Can you renovate a venue between seasons?
Yes. Off-season work is planned in tight windows, and anything that might run long is phased so the venue can still host events.
