Consulting in The Industry
Saviano Co. Inc. Consulting
Industry Knowledge
Over 60 Years of Field Experience — Applied to Your Project
There is no substitute for experience accumulated across thousands of courts. Saviano Co. Inc.'s consulting practice is built on exactly that foundation — over 60 years of hands-on work in athletic surface construction, court design, drainage, and project management across California, the United States, and international markets.
Scope of Services
What Our Consulting Engagements Cover
Saviano's consulting practice is deliberately broad — because the questions clients bring to us are rarely limited to a single aspect of a project. Whether an engagement focuses on a specific technical challenge or spans the full arc from feasibility through contractor selection, our team provides the depth of knowledge that only comes from decades of direct field experience in every discipline we advise on.
Feasibility Review
Before scope is defined or contractors are approached, Saviano's consultants can evaluate whether a proposed site is viable for the intended court or athletic surface project.
Scope Definition & Specification Writing
Ambiguous project scopes produce ambiguous contractor bids — and ultimately, ambiguous results. Saviano's consultants work with clients to develop precise scope documents and technical specifications that communicate exactly what is expected.
Contractor Evaluation & Selection
Saviano's consultants review bids for completeness, and assess contractor qualifications against the technical requirements of the specific project.
Construction Oversight & Quality Review
Having an experienced third-party consultant review construction progress at key milestones provides independent confirmation that work is proceeding to specification.
Drainage & Grading Engineering Review
Saviano's consulting team reviews proposed drainage and grading plans against specific site conditions.
Lighting & Fencing Specification
Court lighting and fencing are frequently under-specified in initial project scopes. Saviano's consultants develop specifications that account for real-world performance requirements: wind load, illumination uniformity, glare management, post anchoring, and gate hardware for actual use intensity.
Long-Term Maintenance Planning
Saviano's consulting team helps clients develop maintenance and resurfacing programs specific to their surface type, use intensity, and climate environment.

Who We Work With
Who Saviano Consulting Serves
Our consulting practice works with clients across every category of athletic surface project — from individual property owners navigating their first court construction to institutions managing multi-facility capital programs. The common thread is a client who wants independent guidance rather than advice from a party with a financial interest in a particular outcome.
Homeowners planning a first court installation who want independent guidance on site selection, contractor evaluation, and surface specifications — without relying solely on the advice of contractors who have an interest in winning the construction bid.
Athletic directors and facilities managers overseeing campus court construction or renovation programs who need technical specification support, contractor qualification review, and construction oversight beyond what in-house staff can provide.
Tennis and athletic club boards and management teams planning new court construction, resurfacing programs, or facility expansions who need objective guidance on surface selection, contractor procurement, and long-term maintenance planning.
City parks and recreation departments managing public court capital projects who need third-party specification review, bid evaluation support, and construction oversight for public court projects.
Real estate developers and HOA boards integrating athletic court amenities into residential or mixed-use developments — where court quality is a marketable asset and construction must meet a standard that holds up under community scrutiny.
Organizations and individuals outside the United States undertaking court or athletic surface projects who need access to California-standard expertise in surface systems and project management — regardless of geographic location.
