Start with identity and scope
Ask what is included: membrane, cables, doors, inflation units, controls, HVAC, lighting, anchoring components, turf, walls, spare parts, records, and drawings. Confirm what is excluded rather than assuming a complete package.
For the Farmingdale opportunity, the dome is currently operating, but manufacturer, dimensions, system details, and final sale scope remain under documentation review.
Inspect condition in context
An operating structure can be observed for its current use, access arrangements, field context, and visible systems. A serious evaluation should also request maintenance history, fabric inspection information, repair records, and professional condition review appropriate to the transaction.
Inspection is not a substitute for engineering. A buyer’s advisors should assess the asset and proposed new site independently.
Test the receiving-site assumptions
Before treating a used structure as a fit, review footprint, height, utilities, weather and code conditions, retention/anchoring approach, permits, transport route, and installation access. A relocation project is a coordinated construction project, not only a shipping exercise.
Read the relocation guide, then request the available Farmingdale information.
