Consultant & Builder Procurement
Independent advice to select the right architect and builder for your club project
Selecting the Right Team for Your Club
Choosing the wrong architect or builder is one of the most expensive mistakes a club board can make. Generic construction firms often underestimate the complexity of staged club construction, gaming compliance requirements, and hospitality-grade finishes.
UpScale manages the full procurement process — from developing the brief and shortlisting firms with genuine club experience, through to running a fair tender process, evaluating submissions, and negotiating contracts that protect your club's interests.
Beyond the Lowest Price
Club boards often feel pressure to accept the lowest tender. But in club construction, the cheapest bid frequently leads to the most expensive outcome — through variations, delays, and quality compromises.
Our tender evaluations go beyond price to assess methodology, program, team capability, relevant experience, and risk allocation. We provide structured evaluation reports designed for board-level decision-making, giving your directors the confidence to approve the right appointment.
