Leisure construction

Call Us Contact Us

For commercial operators, leisure facilities need to provide a high-quality space for sport and recreation, but also define the guest experience, help generate revenue and show off your brand from the second someone walks through the door.

Public sector facilities also need to do this, as well as provide value for investment to justify spend.

Cornerstone Group delivers construction for leisure facilities for commercial customers, hotel operators, hospitality businesses and public sector bodies across the UK. Our project experience includes leisure facilities and complex refurbishment or redevelopment projects from aquatic centres and sports halls to wellness retreats and functional, multi-use venues.

We provide full-scope construction and fit-out services from planning to handover.

Leisure facilities we build

Our construction capability covers the full range of leisure buildings and facilities:

Aquatic centres and swimming pools
Sports halls, fitness suites and indoor or outdoor courts
Hotel leisure facilities, spas and wellness centres

Bars and restaurants
Local community leisure centres and recreation facilities
Boutique and destination wellness facilities

Leisure construction for commercial operators

When it comes to commercial needs, your venue or facility is your brand. Guests judge you before they’ve stepped inside or met your team. So you need a quality space that does the hard work for you.

We can work with your architects, designers and consultants from day one to give you a facility that reflects your brand properly. We deliver everything from steel structure to interior specs, FF&E installation and commissioning in one team.

Energy efficient leisure centres and facilities

Heating and energy running costs for leisure facilities, especially facilities with pools and changing rooms, are a significant investment with energy performance increasingly becoming part of the commissioning requirements.

Whether you’re a council or commercial operator you need your new or refurbished venue that performs against energy benchmarks.

At Cornerstone Group we cover energy services in-house from solar installation and decarbonisation strategies to installing low-carbon building systems. On all leisure construction projects we design energy efficient systems into your project from the beginning, ensuring you get what you need first time, rather than needing a retrofit later down the line.

How we deliver leisure sector projects

Complex leisure projects carry significant programme risk. Sites are often constrained. You may need part of your facility to remain open during the build, creating safety considerations. Projects are usually tied to funding conditions. And completion dates and budgets are open to scrutiny when public money is involved.

That’s why our approach is to engage with designs early so we can spot risks before they turn into costly delays and ensure the project supply chain is ready before we break ground.

On live-site projects we can work with you to develop a phased construction plan before building starts, maintaining daily communication with your team and safely managing access routes to protest guests and staff.

Procurement and frameworks

Our leisure sector services are available through [Frameworks] giving all public sector customers a fully compliant, audited route to procurement.

If you’re a commercial operator or developer not procuring through a public framework, we provide early-stage programme consultancy to help you understand a realistic costs and delivery schedule before you commit to designs.
