You must arrange for blueprints and/or construction plans to be prepared for the build-out of your Franchised Business. We have the right to designate the architect or design firm that you must use. We will provide you with our requirements for the layout of your Franchised Business. Any blueprints or construction plans must be submitted to us for our approval before you may begin construction. Our review is only meant to verify compliance with our standards and presentation of the Proprietary Marks. You must make sure that the plans are in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances and building codes, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Hyper Kidz's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must adhere to specific requirements throughout the construction phase of their franchise. Hyper Kidz retains significant control over the construction process, including the right to designate the architect or design firm. Franchisees are required to submit blueprints and construction plans to Hyper Kidz for approval before starting any construction work. This review ensures compliance with Hyper Kidz's standards and the proper presentation of their proprietary marks.
Beyond Hyper Kidz's internal standards, franchisees bear the responsibility for ensuring that all construction plans comply with applicable laws, ordinances, and building codes, including the Americans with Disabilities Act. Hyper Kidz has the right to inspect the franchise location during construction to ensure compliance.
Finally, a Hyper Kidz franchisee cannot open their location until Hyper Kidz has given final approval. This multi-layered approval process—covering site selection, plan review, legal compliance, and final inspection—highlights the importance of close collaboration with Hyper Kidz during the build-out phase. Failing to meet these requirements could delay or prevent the opening of the franchise.
