1st question to the client: WHICH SPECTATORS CAPACITY?
The capacity is according to the length of the grandstand and the quantity of rows (width).
Pakar Grandstand is available from 4 rows up to 40 rows.
The increase in the number of rows will increase the price of the grandstand
The dimensions of the available area (length x width ) will help to define the number of rows of the grandstand and the total capacity of the grandstand.

2nd question to the client: WHICH HEIGHT FOR THE 1ST ROW ?
The height of the 1st row could be:
– either on the ground
– or raised up from the ground: +1.00mH, +1.50mH; +2.00mH;+3.00mH…..
A grandstand from the ground is recommended if there is no obstacle (advertising board, fences, standing people…) and if the field of play is located at 5.00m minimum far from the 1st row.
A raised grandstand will increase the price of the grandstand because it requires front guardrails, front staircase, more steel substructure compared to a grandstand starting from the ground.
Important information for the design of the grandstand to be checked with the client:
· Will be standing people on the ground in front of the grandstand?
· Will be handrails, fences, walls, advertising panels in front of the grandstand?
· Where is the location of the focus point according to the sport ?

3rd question to the client: WHERE IS LOCATED THE FOCUS POINT?
To get an optimal sightline, we need to adapt the riser according to the focus point distance (F.C.)
Riser: vertical component between one row and another row or landing above or below it
We could supply different heights of riser in order to offer the best sightline for the spectators.
· Riser of 37.5cm is applied when the focus point is close to the spectators (racetrack)
· Riser of 25cm and 30cm is applied for football stadium
· Riser of 15cm is applied when the focus point is far (concert…)

4th question to the client: WHICH TYPE OF ACCESS FOR THE SPECTATORS?
There are 5 type of accesses: direct access, front access, side access, vomitory access and rear access.
The type of access is defined by the available area around the grandstand
When there is available space in front of the grandstand to allow the spectator flow, and the grandstand start from the ground, we will recommend the direct access. No staircases are required if the front row starts from the ground.
When there is available space in front of the grandstand to allow the spectator flow, we will recommend the front access staircases.
It is the cheapest access solution.
When there is available space on both side of the grandstand to allow the spectator flow, we will recommend the side access staircases, especially for the small stand below 20 rows. A front gangway is needed for people to access to their seats.
When there is no available space around the grandstand, we will recommend vomitories (internal staircases). Spectators can access to their seats through a passage underneath the grandstand.
When there is available space only at the back of the grandstand, we will choose the rear staircases. They are the most expensive access solution because it requires high staircases with scaffolding supports.
