British Pounds £

US Dollars $

Euros €

Average ticket revenue* per person per hour would typically be approximately £8, €10 or $13

>How long does Snowflex last?

To which we would ask how busy is it going to be?
Our best answer relates to the amount of business and is based on some data we have collected in the UK. We would suggest that

£0.20 to £0.30
€0.35 to €0.55
$0.35 to $0.55

be collected from each ticket hour sold, to cover repairs and maintenance and placed in an escrow account.

We suggest that the whole area be fully depreciated in ten years. However, in reality, no replacement will be required for the first years of operation, then certain areas will need to be replaced such as the jump landing area. Other areas may never need replacing.

Note: when the material is worn, the quality of the experience deteriorates. If this is not attended to, the business will deteriorate and people will stop visiting.

BRITON Engineering Developments price each contract individually - This can be broken down to a sq metre / sq ft price but the project cost will be based on the scope of works including design, location, terrain, equipment and project size.

We will always include transport and installation.

Snowflex® is a sophisticated and technologically advanced surface system that requires specialist installation and the overall project quality is as important to us as it is to our clients. Our highly experienced installation teams aim to do a first class job. We are happy to discuss utilizing your own labor within our teams to lower costs if this is an issue.

The features that can be included are dependent on the size of project. All projects generally require a nursery/bunny area. An intermediate run is the next essential, perhaps with a small jump and rails.

As a project gets bigger, a set of three jumps/kickers, with an appropriate landing area, is essential to the business.

After that a quarter pipe (or pipes) is good value.

For the larger projects, half pipes, cornices drop offs and mogul (bump) field can come into the picture.

A project can be done in phases. However, you have only one chance to make a good first impression. The whole project is likely to make a better impression than just part of it. So this is a commercial decision that must be carefully considered.
