What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Compliance Drawing serves as a specific studio layout and design created by Basecamp Fitness for the franchisee's studio. Before construction begins, Basecamp Fitness will provide this drawing to the franchisee. The franchisee is required to supply accurate site information, including as-built drawings, surveys, technical data, construction documents, and site plans, to enable Basecamp Fitness to create the Compliance Drawing.
The franchisee must develop their Basecamp Studio in accordance with the Compliance Drawing, as well as applicable laws, regulations, codes, and Basecamp Fitness's mandatory specifications. The franchisee cannot commence construction until they have received written consent from Basecamp Fitness regarding the actual design of their studio. This ensures that the studio's design aligns with Basecamp Fitness's brand standards and operational requirements.
If a franchisee chooses not to use Basecamp Fitness's designated architectural vendor for the Construction Documents, they may be charged a fee to have their Construction Documents reviewed and approved by Basecamp Fitness. For a franchisee's first Basecamp Studio, Basecamp Fitness may require the franchisee to obtain Construction Documents from their designated architectural vendor. Overall, the Compliance Drawing and related processes are in place to maintain uniformity and adherence to brand standards across all Basecamp Fitness locations.
