Do I need an architect before using commercial climbing gym design services?

You do not necessarily need a completed architectural design before using our commercial climbing gym design services. Early climbing input can help your architect understand wall zones, circulation, fall areas and operational priorities before the building layout becomes fixed. We recommend engaging an architect for the broader facility and approvals, with Chompers working alongside them on the climbing-specific elements rather than asking either party to cover an unfamiliar scope alone. We've answered what we need to start your design, working with your architect and engineer and working alongside your local consultants in more detail separately.

The product is only half the job when it comes to commercial climbing gym design services. Everything has to line up with the wider build: the site, the schedule and who's doing what. Finalise those five roles early; sorting it after delivery is far more expensive.
