Built for self-help: the toolkit gives you structure, prompts, examples and plain-English guidance. It helps your organisation become a better-informed client; it does not replace project-specific professional advice where that is required.
Built around real project risks

Capital projects get difficult when decisions, costs and responsibilities are scattered.

A project can start with a simple idea and quickly involve leases, planning, surveys, VAT, funding conditions, procurement, contractors, cash flow, variations, claims and evidence.

This toolkit gives the committee one structured route through the project instead of creating every process and document from scratch.

Designed around community sport

Help the committee ask better questions before the project becomes expensive.

The value is not just the time saved creating documents. It is having a framework that prompts the organisation to think about issues such as site control, VAT, contingency, grant conditions, contractor selection, committed costs, changes and handover at the right point.

Set out the best current cost estimate and explain what is included.

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SECTION

Use current quotes or professional estimates where possible. Separate construction cost, fees, VAT and contingency. Do not assume VAT can be recovered unless this has been checked for your organisation and project.

Guidance where you need it

You should not need to be a construction professional to understand the template.

The editable documents explain technical language and give practical prompts where volunteer committees are most likely to get stuck.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to use every document?

No. The size and complexity of the project should determine the level of control. The toolkit gives you the full framework, then you use the parts proportionate to your scheme.

What if we do not understand a technical term?

The guided templates and PDF glossary explain many of the terms volunteer committees commonly encounter. Where specialist judgement is required, the toolkit tells you when professional advice may be appropriate.

Does this replace an architect or project manager?

No. It helps your organisation organise and govern the project. It does not replace architects, surveyors, engineers, solicitors, VAT specialists, health and safety advisers or other competent professionals where required.

Can we rebrand the templates?

Yes. The editable documents are designed to become your organisation’s own working project documents under the single-organisation licence.
