Working with the public, private and voluntary sectors, we specialise in the design, funding and development of sports facilities.
We take clients from concept development and project planning, through accessing financial support from all major funding agencies, to contract management and completion.
Whether you need to use a full range of professional services or just a selection, our experience and comprehensive knowledge of the processes of planning, designing, funding and developing facilities for sport mean that we are uniquely placed to offer you the right advice.
Does your idea for a sports project have potential? Will it be possible to navigate through all the procedures and processes that need to be followed to make a complex development successful?
Steve Wells Associates has unrivalled experience in sports facility development and the expertise to analyse viability and provide strategy advice.
Steve Wells Associates prepares and submits funding applications including all consultation, comprehensive site and football development plans, programmes of use, business and management plans as well as all online applications.
We have a strong history of successfully applying for Football Foundation projects; in the last few years alone we have drawn down over £41 million in funding from applications.
Where instructed, we provide a full design and planning service. We prepare detailed designs and satisfy all the conditions of planning applications.
Our comprehensive design and planning service incorporates all areas of the project, from initial concept development to the delivery of services.
We offer full management of the tender process, including accessing additional funding, developing contract documents and carrying out principal designer (CDM) duties. Our team will also manage the Bill of Quantities.
Developing complex sports facilities needs an investment of time and knowledge that goes beyond the experience of most organisations, be they educational establishments or sports clubs, whose prime focus lies elsewhere.
As part of our service, we deal with all aspects of project management and contract administration, resolving a wide range of issues and agendas that are complex, often conflicting and always time consuming.
We develop business plans and management models to ensure that your facility is well-used, affordable and remains an important contribution to sports provision and development in the surrounding area.
Our collective expertise across multiple disciplines will assist your organisation to increase community use of its sports facilities, maximise income and achieve your sporting goals.
We believe one of our key strengths as a company lies in the knowledge that we have all the relevant resources and expertise that projects need to actually get them off the ground.
Above all, we have the resourcefulness and tenacity to make sure that the opportunities and facilities needed to deliver a quality sporting experience actually do happen.
Steve Wells Associates prepares and submits the funding applications on behalf of your organisation. This can include all consultation, comprehensive site and development plans, programmes of use, business and management plans, and all online applications. Where instructed, we provide full project management through to completion, from the grant claims process to final account.
We are particularly experienced in Football Foundation projects, drawing down over £41 million in funding from successful applications in the last few years. Typically, the average grant from the Football Foundation has been around 50% of each scheme’s whole project costs although, in some instances, either partnership funding or the award itself far exceeded that proportion.
