BUYER GUIDE

Gym project planning and specification checklist

The fastest route to a useful quotation is a complete brief that connects the floor plan, user needs, quantities and required specifications.

1. Record the project constraints

  • Destination country and delivery location
  • Facility type and usable floor area
  • Floor plan, ceiling limits and access constraints where available
  • Target opening or delivery date
  • Budget range for product selection

2. Define users and activities

List the main user groups, peak occupancy and required activities. This determines which zones need priority and whether the project should emphasise cardio, strength, free weights, functional training, assessment, recovery or group training.

3. Build the equipment schedule

Create a table with product page or model reference, description, quantity, key dimensions, power needs, finish, logo requirement and notes. Use the product centre for candidate models and keep alternatives clearly labelled.

4. Confirm responsibilities and current terms

Confirm the scope of equipment supply, required documentation, packaging, delivery preparation and any third-party installation arrangements. Empire supplies equipment; installation is completed by the client or its appointed service team. Current MOQ, pricing, availability, production cycle and freight are confirmed through quotation.

Frequently asked questions

Is a floor plan required before enquiry?

A floor plan is useful but not mandatory for an initial enquiry. At minimum, provide the usable area, facility type, required zones and quantities.

Does Empire provide installation?

Empire supplies equipment. On-site installation is completed by the client or an appointed third-party service team.

How should alternatives be marked?

List preferred and alternative models separately, with the same quantity and specification fields, so they can be compared clearly.
