Is the use of a construction management company required when opening a Beem Light Sauna franchise?

According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, hiring a construction management company is optional. However, a franchisee may choose to hire an approved construction management company to oversee the studio construction process. This process includes everything from site selection to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

Item 7 includes an estimated cost for construction management, which ranges from $0 to $19,000. This cost is paid as incurred to a third-party vendor. The wide range suggests that the cost will vary depending on the scope of services the construction management company provides and the specific needs of the franchisee's studio build-out.

While not mandatory, using a construction management company could be beneficial for franchisees who lack experience in construction or project management. These companies can help ensure the project stays on schedule and within budget, and that all work meets local building codes and Beem Light Sauna's standards. However, franchisees should carefully consider the costs and benefits before deciding whether to hire a construction management company.
