Capital Improvements Handbook
The CMAA Capital Improvements Handbook serves as a comprehensive guide for club decision-makers embarking on capital improvement projects. By adopting a strategic and collaborative approach, engaging stakeholders, ensuring robust financial planning, and adhering to regulatory requirements, clubs can successfully navigate the complexities of capital improvements.
The Handbook delves into common pitfalls such as lack of strategy and leadership, unanticipated costs, and inexperienced project management. Emphasizing the necessity of time, patience, and strategic planning, this Handbook aims to equip club decision-makers with the knowledge required to make informed choices, ensuring each capital improvement project contributes to the club’s long-term success and reputation.
This extensive resource emphasizes the significance of building high-performing project management teams and engaging various stakeholders, including club members, throughout the journey. Available exclusively to CMAA members, the Handbook was created from the best practices and procedures explored at CMAA's Capital Improvements Symposium.
