What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Big Air Trampoline Park's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, payments for Architectural Fees and Permits are made to the architect. The estimated cost for these fees ranges from $60,000 to $100,000, and payment is due as specified in the contract with the architect, typically around the time of design.
Big Air Trampoline Park provides franchisees with a basic set of design drawings for a standard layout and will collaborate on a basic design. However, franchisees are responsible for hiring either Big Air Trampoline Park's designated architect or a local architect to prepare plans specific to their location. These plans are essential for obtaining construction permits and guiding the construction process.
It is important for prospective Big Air Trampoline Park franchisees to carefully review the terms of their architectural contract and understand the payment schedule. Given the substantial cost, franchisees should also ensure they obtain detailed and accurate quotes from architects and confirm all necessary permits are included in the architectural plans to avoid unexpected expenses.
