The Space Decides More Than the Fit-Out Does
Romco Builders is a licensed Florida general contractor. On a gym, the most valuable thing we do costs nothing and happens before the lease is signed.
Before you sign. Tell us the programming and we will tell you whether the space can carry it.
Impact
A dropped weight is a load event, not a static one
Structure
Noise travels through the slab, not around it
Pre-lease
We will look at a space before you sign it
Licensed
General contractor, licensed in the state of Florida
Why we walk spaces pre-lease
Slab type, who is below, clear height to the underside of services, and actual mechanical capacity. Four answers that decide whether a tenancy can be a gym, and all four are free before a lease and impossible to change afterwards.
An operator who signs a bad space has a project that goes badly however well it is built.
Impact, not weight
A structural design load is a static figure. A dropped barbell is a short, enormous impact on a small area, and that is what reaches the tenancy below and generates the complaint.
So heavy zones go on grade wherever the space allows, and where it does not, platforms are isolated from the structure rather than having rubber laid on top of it.
What we will not do
Lay rubber flooring and call it isolation. Tile a shower without flood testing. Proceed with heavy free weights on a suspended slab without an engineer's assessment. Size mechanical on averaged occupancy.
Each is cheaper, each looks the same on handover, and each produces the problem later.
Licensing
Romco Builders is a licensed Florida general contractor. Structural impact assessment is an engineer's work and we build to their determination.
