Questions

Before you begin

Detailed answers are here when you need them. Open a question to learn more.

What is included in this service?

Work can include Selective Demolition, Interior Demolition, Bathroom Demolition, Floor Removal, Ceiling Removal, and Wall Removal. The final proposal confirms the selected services, quantities, site conditions, and any exclusions for your property.

How long does the work usually take?

A ready-to-start basic-to-standard scope typically takes 4–8 weeks. Site conditions, selections, permits, inspections, weather, access, and approved changes can affect the schedule.

How are flooring and structure reviewed for fitness equipment?

Equipment loads, impact, vibration, anchoring, slab or floor construction, acoustic transfer, and manufacturer requirements are considered before the floor system and layout are confirmed.

How is pricing calculated?

Pricing is built from the selected services using hourly, project-based, per-square-foot, and per-room rates, as applicable to the measured scope. Design-dependent or concealed work may require a custom quotation. The final proposal confirms quantities and approved choices.

Can the facility remain open during renovation?

Phasing may keep unaffected zones open when member circulation, egress, dust, noise, washrooms, ventilation, and equipment routes remain safe. Affected areas require clear separation and controlled closures.

Can ventilation, showers, and high-moisture areas be upgraded together?

Yes. Occupancy, heat, humidity, exhaust, plumbing, waterproofing, cleanability, and maintenance access are reviewed as connected facility requirements.
