What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Construction Documents are a complete set of detailed construction documents that franchisees must use to complete construction of their facility in compliance with Basecamp Fitness's mandatory specifications. These documents are also used to obtain any required permits and conform the premises to local ordinances or building codes.
Basecamp Fitness requires franchisees to retain their designated architectural vendor to create the Construction Documents. However, if a franchisee chooses to use a different architectural vendor, Basecamp Fitness must review and approve the Construction Documents. If a franchisee does not use Basecamp Fitness's designated architectural vendor for the creation of Construction Documents, the franchisee will pay a nonrefundable fee of $2,700 for Basecamp Fitness to review the Construction Documents.
These Construction Documents are essential for ensuring that the Basecamp Fitness studio is built according to the franchisor's standards and complies with all applicable regulations. This helps maintain the consistency and quality of the Basecamp Fitness brand across all locations. The franchisee is responsible for ensuring that the construction adheres strictly to the approved plans. Failure to do so can result in termination of the franchise agreement.
