Design & Technical Advisory for Sports Infrastructure
Owner-side design leadership to ensure sports facilities are functional, buildable, standards-aligned, and cost-controlled—before execution begins.
Why Design Advisory Matters
Most cost overruns, operational inefficiencies, and performance failures in sports infrastructure are embedded at the design stage—long before construction begins.
Architects and engineers focus on design production. Contractors focus on execution. Owners, however, bear the long-term consequences of design decisions.
Our role is to protect the owner from irreversible design decisions that compromise cost, performance, usability, and lifecycle outcomes.
Our Role as Owner-side Design& Technical Advisor
We act on behalf of the owner to govern design decisions—not to produce designs.
Our responsibility is to ensure that design intent, technical solutions, and architectural expression remain aligned with project objectives, feasibility assumptions, and long-term operational logic.
We operate independently of designers and contractors to preserve objectivity and protect owner interests.
The most expensive mistakes in a project are made long before construction begins
What We Do Not Do
To maintain independence and avoid conflicts of interest, we do not undertake
-
Architectural or engineering design production
-
Preparation of drawings for construction
-
Acting as lead designer or architect
-
EPC, construction execution, or contractor roles
Olympiados remains conflict-free by operating strictly as an advisory firm and does not undertake EPC or construction works.
How This Protects the Owner
Design & Technical Advisory delivers value by;
- Preventing costly design decisions before they are locked into contracts
- Reducing downstream certification, compliance, and rework risks
- Controlling scope creep and unnecessary technical complexity
- Protecting both CAPEX and long-term OPEX outcomes
- Ensuring design intent survives execution and value-engineering pressures
Bad construction can be fixed.
Bad design decisions usually cannot.
When Design & Technical Advisory is most Valuable
with complex spatial and operational requirements
requiring strong owner-side coordination
where design decisions have long-term cost impact
execution or facilities targeting federation standards or certifications
Typical Outcomes
What owners experience when design decisions are governed early and independently.
How This Fits Within Our Advisory Services
Design & Technical Advisory builds directly on DPR & Financial Feasibility by translating viability and demand assumptions into buildable design intent.
Design & Technical Advisory follows Strategic Feasibility Advisory, ensuring that early project intent and risk assumptions are translated into technically sound and buildable design outcomes.
Technical design decisions are aligned with Standards & Performance Advisory (OPIS) to protect long-term performance and compliance.
Early design governance reduces friction during Certification Readiness & Liaison processes.
During execution, approved design intent is safeguarded through Delivery Governance (Owner-Side PMC).
Design decisions shape outcomes long before construction begins.
Owner-side conflict-free advisory. No EPC. No Construction
