# Playground Consultation & Venue Assessment Services / Step 01 **Step 01 ยท Consultation & Venue Assessment.** Start with your CAD/PDF drawings, clear heights, columns, entrances, and target age mix. We review the venue information to identify preliminary space feasibility and the questions that need to be resolved before layout design. [Submit Venue Brief & Floor Plan]() [Prepare venue details]() [All services overview]() ![Client-provided venue plan with building dimensions and site annotations]() Consultation & Venue AssessmentDrawings, clear-height checks, age zoning, and local responsibility boundaries before design. ![Client-provided venue plan with building dimensions and site annotations]() Assessment input / Venue brief ## Drawings, Dimensions & Operating Needs A useful first review starts with the actual venue rather than a catalog rectangle. Share the drawings and operating context you already have; rough dimensions can help begin the conversation when formal drawings are not yet available. Drawings ### CAD/PDF venue information Send DWG or PDF floor plans, reflected ceiling information where available, or a dimensioned sketch showing the usable area and the location of entrances and exits. Dimensions ### Clear height, columns & access Record clear height under beams and HVAC drops, column spans, pillar positions, door openings, egress paths, and other fixed obstructions that affect equipment geometry. Operating brief ### Age mix & venue context Tell us the intended toddler, children, and teen mix, expected play zones, supervision needs, and local commercial zoning context so the assessment reflects how the venue will operate. ![Three-dimensional playground layout with themed play zones and seating]() Preliminary review / Scope boundary ## Venue Fit, Age Zoning & Local Responsibilities We review how a playground layout could fit the documented space and identify constraints to carry into CAD planning. Local design stamps, permits, and civil preparation remain with the venue's local team unless otherwise agreed in writing. Site fit ### Preliminary feasibility review Equipment footprint, clear-height thresholds, column and beam conflicts, access routes, and fixed building services are considered before detailed 2D CAD zoning and 3D design. Zoning ### Age separation & circulation Toddler and older-child activities, active routes, transitions, staff and parent sightlines, and entrances are considered together to inform the next layout proposal. Local team ### Permits & civil works boundary Local permits, architectural stamps, fire approvals, floor leveling, civil fit-out, electrical/HVAC, sprinklers, and other local venue works are managed by your local contractors and consultants. The consultation assessment defines design inputs and preliminary fit; it does not replace approvals or construction documents issued by local professionals. Step 01 / Deliverables ## What You Receive at This Step - **Site-fit notes**Equipment footprint, clear-height thresholds and column conflicts marked against your plan. - **Open questions list**Missing measurements, building services and responsibilities to resolve before layout design. - **Age-zoning direction**How toddler, children and teen areas could sit within the available space. - **Scope boundary**Which works stay with your local contractors and consultants. FAQs ## Venue Assessment Questions ![Dream Garden]() ### Have a question? Leave a message Tell us your requirements and our project specialists will contact you shortly. We respect your privacy. Your information will only be used for project communication. Do I need CAD drawings before contacting you? No. A dimensioned sketch with clear heights and column positions is enough to start. CAD or PDF drawings are needed before the layout is finalised. Which clear height should I measure? Measure the lowest point under beams, HVAC ducts and sprinklers across the play area, not the slab-to-slab height. That figure limits how many play levels are possible. How quickly will I hear back? Send column spacing and the lowest clear height and we return a free feasibility mark-up within 48 hours. Larger or multi-zone venues may need a few more questions first. Does the assessment replace local approvals? No. It defines design inputs and preliminary fit. Permits, fire approvals and stamped drawings come from your local professionals. Design & build by project type ## Need one contractor for the whole venue? This step is part of a single design-and-build contract.
