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 ## Play spaces that belong to their surroundings. A public playground sits within a larger place. Its equipment, access routes and landscape need to work together for children, caregivers and the people who maintain it. ![Landscaped outdoor playground concept with treehouse towers and paths]() Design reference: Landscaped outdoor playground concept with treehouse towers and paths 01 / Site & community ### Start with the people and the place.

Local building work and specialist approvals remain with the parties named in the agreed scope. Choosing a contractor ## Why hire a manufacturer as your playground 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. | Project references ## Outdoor playground projects.

[Ask about your site]() Do you install outdoor playgrounds on site? Yes. Choose our installation crew, a Dream Garden supervisor working with your local contractor, or remote guidance with drawings, manuals and video calls. Foundations and surfacing are agreed separately in the scope. Are foundations and surfacing included? These items depend on the agreed contract scope and local site conditions. Identify the responsible designers and installers before confirming the equipment package. Can you work with our landscape architect? Yes. Share the landscape and civil drawings so equipment positions, access, surfacing and foundation interfaces can be coordinated with the appointed design team. Can an existing park be upgraded in stages? Yes, a staged equipment proposal can be reviewed. Include retained equipment, public access constraints and the intended construction boundaries in the brief. Start your project ## Plan your playground with one contractor.
