Determine Your Budget |
Determining your project budget is perhaps one of the most difficult elements to confirm when developing your plans for the purchase of a waterslide or water play equipment. Your budget is a critical tool for steering you through the planning, purchasing, and building process.
The following areas should always be considered in when developing your budget:
|
- Equipment cost
- Engineering
- Foundation and footing detail
- Pump Package
- Site work
- Installation
- Return on Investment*
|
Return on Investment is often overlooked in the planning/budgeting process so we feel it’s worth calling attention to here.
