What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after obtaining possession of the site for their studio, franchisees must retain specific services for the construction of the Basecamp Fitness studio. Specifically, the franchisee must retain Basecamp Fitness's designated architectural vendor to create a complete set of detailed construction documents. These documents ensure the facility complies with Basecamp Fitness's mandatory specifications.
Additionally, the designated architectural vendor must complete the construction of the facility. This ensures that the construction aligns with the Construction Documents and the franchisor's standards. The vendor is also responsible for obtaining any required permits necessary for the construction and ensuring the premises conform to local ordinances or building codes.
If a franchisee chooses not to use Basecamp Fitness's designated architectural vendor for the creation of the Construction Documents, they must pay Basecamp Fitness a nonrefundable fee of $2,700 to review the franchisee's Construction Documents. The vendor the franchisee uses must meet any standards and specifications that Basecamp Fitness requires.
