Building new clubrooms or refurbishing or extending existing facilities is one of the most important projects a bowling club will undertake. Most bowling clubs operate on a limited budget, so it is critical to ensure any investment is wisely and to minimise the risk of something going wrong. Construction projects involve significant costs which can escalate or be wasted if badly managed. A construction or refurbishment project is going to offer a new challenge for most bowling clubs. It will require new skills and ways of working. The key to any refurbishment or construction project is sound planning. These guidelines are to guide and assist club management in achieving a successful refurbishment, upgrade or new facility to their bowling club.
