The Challenger™ building system is the contemporary choice to create a light, bright modern sporting facility. The architectural membrane covering of Challenger enables us to create a range of structural designs that help set the building apart from traditional buildings whilst also allowing sun light to permeate into the building to create a pleasant, light and airy feel. Challenger tensile sports facilities are constructed from a lattice steel framed superstructure covered with a heavy duty architectural membrane which provides a light, bright environment, perfect for sporting venues.
Whether you’re looking for a multi sports facility or a sport specific centre of excellence, we believe the only way to create the ultimate facility is through flexibility in design. Whatever your needs, budgets and aspirations, we can offer a full design and build service tailored to you.
