Sports Infrastructure Advisory Services

Strategic Advisory, Standards & Certification for Sports Infrastructure

We help owners decide what to build.... before construction begins
0%

Olympiados operates as a consultant-only, conflict-free sports infrastructure advisory firm.
We work upstream of construction, supporting owners, institutions, developers, and governments in making informed, performance-driven decisions.

All engagements begin with advisory services.
We do not undertake EPC or construction works.

How We Work

Sports infrastructure projects most often fail due to incorrect early decisions—long before execution begins. Our advisory services are designed to protect owner interests by addressing feasibility, financial viability, performance standards, certification readiness, and governance at the decision stage.

Our role is to define what should be built and how it should perform.
Execution, where required, is delivered independently by third-party contractors.

Our Advisory Services

Our advisory frameworks are aligned with globally recognized sports infrastructure and performance standards, including those published by international governing bodies such as FIFA and World Athletics.

Mandatory first engagement
This service determines whether a sports project should exist—and in what form.
 
Scope includes:
•Sport mix and demand assessment
•Site and contextual evaluation
•Capacity and utilization logic
•High-level capital vs lifecycle cost analysis

•Go / No-Go recommendations
 
Outcome:
Clarity before capital commitment.
 
This service does not include design, procurement, or execution.
Investment-grade decision documentation
 
Our DPRs are designed for owners, boards, lenders, and authorities, not for contractors.
 
Scope includes:
•Project vision and objectives
•Vendor-neutral technical concepts
•Phasing and scalability strategy
•Lifecycle cost assessment (10–20 years)
•Financial feasibility and ROI modelling
•Risk register and mitigation framework
•Certification readiness mapping
 
Outcome:
A decision-control document supporting approvals, funding, and long-term sustainability.
Owner-side design governance
 
This service ensures that design decisions are technically sound, performance-aligned, cost-conscious, and buildable—before they are locked into drawings and contracts.
We act on behalf of the owner to govern how the project is designed, not to produce designs ourselves.
 
Scope includes:
•Concept and schematic design review from an owner’s perspective
•Alignment of design intent with project objectives, budget, and operations
•Multi-sport planning, adjacencies, and functional layout optimisation
•Technical coordination across architects, engineers, and specialists
•Identification of overdesign, under-specification, and constructability risks
•Review of drawings and specifications for clarity, consistency, and intent.
 
Outcome:
 
Design clarity and technical control before execution commitments are made.
Proprietary performance framework
 
We apply structured performance standards to ensure sports facilities operate safely and reliably over time.
 
Focus areas include:
•Court and surface performance benchmarks
•Safety and injury-risk thresholds
•Equipment compatibility considerations
•Maintenance and degradation behaviour
•Usage intensity classification
 
Outcome:
Facilities defined by measurable standards rather than assumptions.
Standards-aligned compliance advisory
 
We support certification readiness for international and national sports and safety standards.
 
Scope includes:
•Gap analysis against certification criteria
•Design and specification alignment
•Documentation and submission support
•Liaison with certifying bodies
•Pre-certification audits
 
Important note:
Final certification approval rests with the issuing authority.
Independent oversight without execution
 
This service ensures design intent, standards, and compliance are protected during delivery.
 
Scope includes:
•Contractor vetting support
•Method statement and milestone reviews
•Compliance monitoring
•Reporting to owners and boards
 
What we do not do:
•Labour deployment
•Procurement
•Contractor appointment
•Execution responsibility
 
Outcome:
Reduced delivery risk without conflict of interest.
