We ensure the original creative intent remains intact through delivery, installation, and opening day. We also oversee all design stages as creative specialists for theming and show elements, starting from schematic design and culminating with detailed design. Our team reviews the creative design development through all stages and provides guidance and solutions that align with the creative vision.

CREATIVE GUIDELINE DEVELOPMENT
To ensure the creative vision remains intact throughout the process, we develop a comprehensive creative and art direction guidance package, known as the Theme Performance Specifications (TPS). This package includes references, materials, colours, design guidelines, safety requirements, and operational guidelines to ensure compliance from the wider supply chain. We also prepare physical samples for the client to ensure no variance in materials and finish from the final delivery. All of this guarantees a consistent aesthetic language that is standard-compliant, especially during the tender stage, but all the way through to installation.
PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT & SUPPORT
During the tender stage for theming and specialist packages, we provide support with package preparation, vendor selection, the ‘pre-qualification questionnaire’ (PQQ), technical evaluation, and award recommendation. We determine the full material requirements detailed in the briefing documents and ‘issued-for-construction’ (IFC) technical drawings before drawing up a purchase order for one of the carefully vetted suppliers from our Approved Suppliers List. We’ll also make sure that each supplier knows the exact details of their scope and ensure there are no gaps in the final delivery.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We provide specialist project management services, delivering value for money by providing the highest standards and utilising our vast pool of experienced talent. Our team works to facilitate the best possible processes for our client’s projects so that they’re delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest possible quality. Our specialist services include Concept Validation, Project Controls Procedures, Programme Scheduling, Contract & Legal, Quality Management, Shipping & Logistics, Complete Site Acceptance Testing Plan (SAT), and many more.
DIGITAL SUPPORT
We support our projects with our extensive digital toolkit including Building Information Modelling (BIM), a technical platform used in all major projects. Our BIM expertise provides our clients with a virtual model of their project to explore and refine before moving into realisation. We also offer business intelligence (BI) reporting and data visualisation across the lifecycle of a project to provide client options and solutions and to make sure the very best insights inform every decision.
SHOW CREATIVE INTEGRATION
At the final stage of the project, we provide creative integration direction for all show elements (theming, audio, video, lighting, media, special effects, etc), making sure that all these disparate elements from a wide range of suppliers cohere with each other seamlessly. This way, we make sure that every detail of the final, realised product is in line with the original creative vision.
