 Who Is Ice Rink Construction Consultants & What Do We Do?
Ice Rink Construction Consultants (IRCC) is a consulting company only. We do not sell any products nor do we do rink contracting or supplies of any type - there are many very good rink contractors and rink supply companies in the industry to provide those products. We are the experienced objective third party support to help you through the process of design, construction planning, financial planning, building design, drafting bid documents, bid specifications, and other industry related challenges where you would want people highly experienced in the field at your side to ensure you completed your project properly, on schedule, and on budget.
Why is the ice rink/arena industry not more successful?
There is no other sport where a person can begin literally when they start to walk and continue to enjoy the sport of skating into their 90's in some cases. Skating events when televised consistently outrank competitive programming in Neilson rating surveys by wide margins. Skating is one of those activities which is fun, good exercise, easy on the body and joints, and can be practiced as a competitive activity or individually simply for fun at one’s own pace. It is one of those activities which seems to transcend generations; once a family member becomes a skater, more than likely the entire family will participate as will their children's, children.
With there being so much good from something so simple, why is skating and hockey not more popular and successful? After all, we believe there are only two types of people in the world- those who skate, and those who should!
The reason why and also the reason for IRCC
Too often good projects have gone bad simply because they received bad advice. We sincerely believe that any project gone badly hurts the entire industry. In today's modern age of technology and information, an installation in California has financial trouble today, we learn about it tomorrow in New York. We people execute ill-conceived or managed projects, it reflects upon the entire industry making financing and investor confidence harder to obtain. Sadly some of the more publicly visible projects which have failed financially were actually doomed before they began simply because their financial model and execution plan were severely flawed.
We feel any consultant who promotes a improper, or questionable business model, simply to obtain a consulting fee is sacrificing the health of the industry for their personal gain.
Our Pledge
While we cannot guarantee that all of our clients will be successful with their business enterprise, no person or entity should have the deck stacked against them before they open the doors. We pledge to evaluate and assist with your project as if it were our our development project. It is beneficial for all parties to look at your project hard, honestly, and with financial prudence. If the construction costs are too high, or the expected revenue stream is too low, we at IRCC will determine if these factors can be improved to standard which is responsible, or we will be the very first people to suggest you not more forward with your plan as drafted - even if this means we will not be doing the consulting work for you.
We pledge to be responsible with your investment dollars as if it impacted our future and the future of the arena industry because it truly does mean our future.
IRCC can help be the difference between success and failure
Building and operating a business can be hard enough even when you have an experienced builder and design team. Why endure the extra cost and risk of getting into the rink building/operation business with a talented team to support you so that you by-pass a learn curve and the expensive
Even with IRCC's minimal multi-phase fee structure, your overall project cost will be much less with us on your team!
More often than not, when you know the design to use the first time, the proper selection and application of materials, and the proven vendors who have demonstrated the most competitive pricing for specialized equipment, project development and construction costs can be significantly less. The overall window of time from dream to reality will also be shortened significantly since we can eliminate the many month of fact finding where one discovers small amounts of information over a long period of time - we will immerse you with information and resources.
