Managing the construction of a new stadium is not small job. I’ve had the opportunity to photograph multiple stadiums being built through the years. It’s an amazing operation.
You have so many pieces to the puzzle it’s amazing. All of the independent contractors and specialists involved on the job. You often have multiple investors in the project looking over you. Government, especially local, is often highly involved. This doesn’t make the process easy.
The Atlanta Falcons new project is interesting. They are spending a billion dollars for a retractable roof. Although it is not an entirely new stadium the price tag alone is a good indication of the complexity and the level of management needed to run a project like this.
I’m interested in the best contractors for this type of job. Are there specialists? Or do they higher the firm with the lowest bid?
