NOTE: The period of time over which a pre-opening consultancy agreement runs will vary from project to project and client to client. In the case of a new development, we recommend a period from the end of the construction phase through to opening day or handover to the appointed business managers (whichever comes sooner). The earlier FORE Golf Asia becomes involved in a new project, the more benefit we can be to our clients. For existing businesses, a minimum of three (3) months is advisable. In certain circumstances, the services provided may relate to a particular task or tasks. In these situations, the duration will be tailored to the specific job.
