Installation options
Choose who installs: our crew, a Dream Garden supervisor with local installers, or remote guidance. The option is fixed in the contract before production.
Option 01 · Full installation
Our installation team travels to your site, assembles the supplied equipment to the approved drawings and completes the handover checks with your operator.
Best forFirst venues, tight opening dates and complex multi-level structures
Option 02 · Supervision
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 forSites with an experienced local contractor or labour-cost limits
Option 03 · Remote 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.

Design & build
Inclusive planning starts with the users and the whole journey through the site. Equipment choices matter, along with arrival routes, space to pause and opportunities to participate together.
01 / Participation brief
Discuss the intended users and participation goals with the client, caregivers and relevant specialists. Identify practical needs around movement, sensory preferences, communication and assistance without assuming that one solution suits every visitor.
Project deliverableAn inclusive-play brief with agreed priorities and questions for specialist review.
02 / Connected experiences
Explore ground-level shared play, sensory activities, rest areas and suitable access routes. Plan a mix of social and quieter experiences, with clear transitions and space for caregivers where required by the project brief.
Project deliverableA participation-focused layout linked to the equipment and landscape scope.
03 / Project review
Review the proposed design with the appointed accessibility and site specialists. Routes, transitions, surfacing and equipment interfaces need to be considered together; an equipment selection alone does not establish whole-site accessibility.
Project deliverableA coordinated review checklist and clearly assigned implementation responsibilities.
From first drawing to handover
Four stages, with specialist review built into the design stage.
Review drawings, clear heights, target users and budget. Confirm what Dream Garden contracts for and what stays with local trades.
Venue assessment
Agree the 3D layout, theme, itemised scope, site interfaces and installation option before anything is produced.
Factory production with quality checks and trial assembly, then labelled packing and export logistics.
Factory & manufacturingProgramme, 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.
Choosing a 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. |

Inclusive equipmentFAQs
Participation, accessibility and what the contract covers.
Ask about your siteYes. Choose our installation crew, a Dream Garden supervisor working with your local contractor, or remote guidance with drawings, manuals and video calls. Routes and surfacing are agreed separately in the scope.
No. A project can offer different experiences and levels of challenge while creating meaningful ways to participate together. The agreed user brief should guide the mix.
Yes, an upgrade can be reviewed. Look at the complete visitor journey as well as the equipment, including arrival, routes, transitions and places to pause.
No. Equipment is one part of the project. Whole-site access also depends on routes, surfacing, transitions and the implemented design, reviewed with the responsible specialists.
