Contract scope

## What your FEC contractor delivers.

One contract for the attraction package, from zoning to handover. Fit-out, F&B and building services stay with your local partners, and the quotation lists both sides.

| Work package | Dream Garden | Your local team |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Attraction mix & zoning | Attraction schedule, age zoning and guest circulation across soft play, trampoline and challenge areas. | Operating model, ticketing, F&B and party-room requirements. |
| Design & drawings | 3D layout, theme direction, equipment drawings and an itemised bill of quantities for each zone. | Architect and engineer review where local rules require it. |
| Manufacturing & QC | Equipment made in our Wenzhou factory, with quality checks and trial assembly before packing. | Approval of finishes and final drawings before production. |
| Packing & shipping | Packing labelled by zone and phase, export documents and the agreed shipping terms. | Import clearance and local delivery, depending on the shipping terms. |
| Installation | Our crew, an on-site supervisor or remote guidance, sequenced zone by zone. | A ready site for each zone: floors, power, lighting, access and working hours. |
| Fit-out & services | Equipment loads, interface drawings and certificates for your submissions. | Interior fit-out, MEP, fire systems, arcade and F&B equipment, and permits. |
| Handover & support | Handover checks, care instructions, spare parts and technical support. | Daily operation, inspections and staff supervision. |

Installation options

## Install zone by zone, your way.

FEC attractions can be installed by our crew, under a Dream Garden supervisor or with remote guidance. The option can differ by zone and is fixed in the contract.

Option 01 · Full installation

### Dream Garden installation crew

Our installation team travels to your site, assembles the supplied equipment to the approved drawings and completes the handover checks with your operator.

**Best for**First venues, tight opening dates and complex multi-level structures

Option 02 · Supervision

### On-site supervisor, local installers

A Dream Garden supervisor works on site with installers you hire locally, setting out, sequencing the assembly and checking the work against the drawings.

**Best for**Sites with an experienced local contractor or labour-cost limits

Option 03 · Remote guidance

### Remote installation guidance

Your team installs using labelled parts, assembly drawings and manuals, with video calls from our engineers at key stages and photo-based checks before opening.

**Best for**Smaller scopes, modular equipment and repeat clients

Design & build

## More attractions. One connected destination.

A family entertainment center needs more than a collection of attractions. The plan should connect play, social spaces and operational support without letting one activity overwhelm the rest.

Design reference: Family play venue concept with an adjacent seating and dining zone

01 / Guest experience

### Plan for a whole family visit.

Map the journey from arrival and ticketing to play zones, parties and waiting areas. Separate different activity intensities while making it easy for families to find their way and for staff to observe key transitions.

**Project deliverable**A guest-flow concept with attraction zones and operational interfaces.

02 / Attraction mix

### Choose a mix that fits your audience.

Balance indoor play, toddler activities and selected challenge attractions against the building envelope and operating brief. Consider how guests move between activities, where queues may form and how each zone will be staffed.

**Project deliverable**An attraction schedule linked to age groups, available space and the equipment scope.

03 / Coordinated delivery

### Bring the separate zones into one plan.

Review equipment interfaces alongside your fit-out, lighting, building services and local consultants. Agree which items Dream Garden supplies and which belong to other project partners, then coordinate the installation sequence.

**Project deliverable**An interface checklist and phased equipment delivery plan.

From first drawing to handover

## How an FEC contract runs.

Four stages with one equipment team. Phases, responsibilities and the installation option are agreed before manufacturing.

1. ![Client-provided venue plan with building dimensions and site annotations](<https://www.toymakerinchina.com/photo/site-library/venue-plan.webp>)

  ### Brief & feasibility

  Review drawings, clear heights, target users and budget. Confirm what Dream Garden contracts for and what stays with local trades.

1. ![Top-down playground floor plan showing play zones and circulation](<https://www.toymakerinchina.com/photo/site-library/zoning-plan.webp>)

  ### Design & contract

  Agree the 3D layout, theme, itemised scope, site interfaces and installation option before anything is produced.

1. ![Playground steel frame during outdoor trial assembly](<https://www.toymakerinchina.com/photo/site-library/frame-trial-assembly.webp>)

  ### Manufacture & ship

  Factory production with quality checks and trial assembly, then labelled packing and export logistics.

   [Factory & manufacturing](<https://www.toymakerinchina.com/aboutus/factory-manufacturing.html>)

Programme, logistics and the installation option are confirmed for each project. Local building work and specialist approvals remain with the parties named in the agreed scope.

Venue & parameters

## Common FEC formats we build for.

Choosing a contractor

## Why hire a manufacturer as your FEC contractor?

Compare one design-and-build contract with buying the design, equipment and installation from separate parties.

| What matters | Manufacturer-contractor | Sourcing separately |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Responsibility | One team owns the design, the equipment and the agreed installation scope. | Design, supply and installation sit with different firms, so interface gaps tend to surface on site. |
| Design accuracy | Layouts are drawn by the people who engineer and build the structures, checked against your columns and clear heights. | A concept may need re-engineering once a manufacturer reviews it, adding time and changes. |
| Pricing | Factory-direct pricing with an itemised scope, so every item and service is visible. | Equipment may pass through resellers, and installation is priced separately afterwards. |
| Installation | Installed by our crew, under our supervision or with our remote guidance, using the drawings the factory produced. | Installers may meet the system for the first time on site. |
| After handover | Spare parts, wear items and technical questions go back to the manufacturer. | Support depends on which party supplied each component. |

FAQs

## FEC contractor FAQs

Scope, phasing and installation for multi-attraction venues.

 [Ask about your site](<https://www.toymakerinchina.com/solutions/family-entertainment-center-contractor#inquiry>)

Are you the general contractor for the whole FEC?

No. We contract for the attraction equipment package: design, manufacturing, delivery and the installation option you choose. Interior fit-out, MEP, fire systems, F&B and permits stay with your general contractor or local partners and are listed separately in the quotation.

Can one contract cover soft play, trampolines and challenge attractions?

Yes, subject to the site review. The activities need suitable separation, supervision, circulation and clear heights, so we design them as one coordinated plan and one equipment package.

Who installs the attractions?

Our installation crew, a Dream Garden supervisor working with your local installers, or remote guidance with drawings and video calls. The option can differ by zone and is agreed in the contract.

Do we need to join a franchise?

No. These pages describe custom project planning and equipment supply. A franchise agreement, brand licence or operating system would be a separate arrangement and is not included automatically.

Can you help with a phased project?

Yes. Share the intended phases at the start so we can review equipment boundaries and access needs, and later work is considered in the initial layout.
