person form entering the facility (ramps, paved roads)

Provide access to areas where goods and services are made available to the general public

Provide access to restrooms and accommodate them to disabled

Remove all barriers to using any part of the facility

Preconstruction Phase

First, we must make sure construction bonds or liquidated damages clause to penalize a builder that does not finish construction on time.

Second, meetings are held to make sure the architect or engineer, owner, representatives, contractors and other parties are all on the same page.

Documentation

This makes sure that all proper documentations is available to all parties.

There are preconstruction documents, construction contracts and contract drawings.

Contract Drawings

Site drawings, which provide information on the geographical location, how the project contours to the land, any roads and parking lots, and where current and future utilities will be placed.

Architectural drawings, shows the floor plan from the lowest to the highest floor.

Structural drawings, shows all supporting systems, such as foundations and roof and floor systems.

Plumbing drawings, which depict the water distributions system from piping fixtures.

Contract Drawings

Mechanical drawing, which provide information about where the heating and air conditioning will be placed.

Electrical drawing, show the electrical and electronic demands for the stadium.

Site Preparation

First we need to establish a field office then an access road for equipment and materials to reach the site.

Next we need to evaluate the site making sure we remove all tree stumps and bushes from the site.

Then we need to remove about 6 inches of top soil so we have a solid base for are stadium.

Lastly, the soil has to be chemically treated to prevent insects such as termites.

SWOT AnalysisStrengthsStrong financial base.Local political support.Support of local businesses. Up to date facility. Multi-purpose facility. Facility can appeal to all different groups (i.e. different age groups and gender).Many home games so there are many opportunities for revenue. Sense of community promoted

WeaknessesIf team is not good then local support could diminish.Few volunteers.At first few people are familiar with the team. Costly expenses if not enough revenue is generated.

OpportunitiesReputation needs to be established. Advertising and publicity. Sponsorship. Bringing in concerts and other events for functions other than baseball.

ThreatsSeasonal SportPossible cross-town rival. Other competing events in town during same time as events at the facility. Altercations and other disturbances by fans.
