Optimizing Amenities and Value for Prestigious Atlanta Club
Architect: Chapman Coyle Chapman and Associates
Location: Atlanta, Georgia
Project Overview: More than 100 years old, Ansley Golf Club has maintained its prestigious status as a 5 Star Platinum Club of America through deliberate planning. As the needs of the members have evolved so have club amenities. This world-class experience is one reason the club considers itself one of the most family-oriented, friendly, and fun atmospheres in Atlanta. As a premiere country club builder, Hodges & Hicks has become steadfast partner, helping deliver upgraded amenities that uphold the Club’s unique stature while creating enjoyable experiences for its members.
Highlights:
- Hodges & Hicks consistently collaborates closely with the club and their interior design team to achieve the high-end look of finishes and millwork, overseeing installation to ensure no detail is missed.
- Diligently managing schedule milestones, construction teams are experts at procuring resources and materials needed to get the job done in a timely manner while proactively communicating with the design team for reviews and approvals.
- Preconstruction teams actively identify value engineering opportunities to optimize various elements of the project while enhancing the value like wear-and-tear, aesthetic value, cost of maintenance, etc.
- Taking a phased approach, Hodges & Hicks teams maintain operability of many of the club amenities throughout the duration of work, which helps maintain revenue streams and efficient workflows in times of renovation.
- By taking an “off-stage” approach, construction team members develop detailed site logistics plans to avoid interruptions of daily operations, provide separation of members and construction activities, and maintain safe operations.
- When building state of the art amenities, access to specialty consultants plays a role in project success. Relationships in the market provided valuable insight during construction in areas like waterproofing and permitting to name a few.
- Seasoned field supervision allows problem solving to happen in the field. As problems arise, Hodges & Hicks superintendents work with subcontractors and designers to identify solutions that avoid slow downs and interruptions.
- Hodges & Hicks teams have built trust by taking a client-first mindset, recommending options while thinking about what SHOULD be done.
Results: Ansley Golf Club continues to maintain its prestige along with a loyal membership base. The result of many extensive renovations, remodels and upgrades over a decade, the Club offers new views, increased outdoor space, al fresco dining, upgraded fitness centers, locker rooms and ballrooms. Through intentional planning and collaboration, Hodges & Hicks delivered on time and budget and to the satisfaction of the elite club members and leaders.
