Questions to raise before a pitch scope is agreed
Which information is already available about the site, drainage, proposed base, surfacing and associated works?
Which points are confirmed, and which should remain open questions for the relevant project team? These prompts are discussion points, not a statement of Fieldform's process or technical advice.
Proposed use
What sports use, dimensions, markings and other requirements should be discussed?
Possible build-up
What questions remain about formation, drainage, sub-base, edging, base layers and the proposed surface system?
Associated works
Will the discussion need to cover fencing, gates, equipment, lighting, paths, access or reinstatement?

Project example
Restricted access, no-dig fencing and a coordinated pitch build-up
For one Fieldform project, access was restricted and the new perimeter fence had a no-dig requirement. The fencing was secured using an iron ring beam.
Below the playing surface, a dynamic stone layer was constructed over drainage crates. The completed scheme also included integral rebound boards, a Polytan LigaTurf Motion Pro surface and a tile shockpad.
