How does the theming visualiser work?

You tell Hal, our design assistant, what you want made. A priced brief fills in on the left as you answer, and the centre draws an approximate scale drawing of your themed environment beside a 1.80 m person. You can change your answers and see the budget move as you go. No 3D model is made on this page.

Is the budget on the theming page a quote?

No. It is an indicative band, shown excluding VAT, so you can judge whether the project is in the right place before you commit anything. Final cost depends on size, finish, quantity, delivery and installation. The studio checks the figure and confirms it within two days.

What if the budget is higher than I planned for themed environment?

Type in the budget you have. The tool proposes the smallest changes to scope that bring the project to it, and applies them to what you see on screen. You get a lower specification for your money, not the same thing for less.

I already have a quote from someone else. Can you compare?

Yes. We do not match prices, but we will go through a written quote line by line against our scope so you can see what each includes. If you need to pay less, we offer a version at your figure with a clearly stated scope.

What happens after I finish with Hal?

You can save the project to an account, book a call, forward it to a colleague or download the pack. If you go ahead, drawings come first and you approve them in writing before anything is made.

What is themed environment design?

It is the design and building of spaces that tell a story, such as attractions, grottos, immersive rooms and themed hotel or restaurant interiors.

Can you theme a ride or a dark ride?

Yes. We design and make ride vehicles, show pieces, sets and scenery, and the priced brief lets you size a fleet, ship it and see installation days.

Do you do seasonal themes such as Christmas grottos?

Yes. Grottos and seasonal installations are designed, built and installed to a date, and Hal asks when it has to open.

What can I theme on a small budget?

Type your budget into the tool and it proposes the smallest scope changes that reach it. You get a smaller version of the idea, scoped honestly.

Do you work overseas?

Yes. The brief includes export packaging, shipping, duty and tax for the destination you name, and installation on site.

Can you theme an escape room or immersive attraction?

Yes. Rooms, scenery, props and effects are designed together so the story works physically, and the scale drawing shows the size.

What can you theme?

A land or zone, an attraction, a queue or entrance, a restaurant or hotel, or a play area. Carved, painted and lit scenery, props and effects are designed together so the world works as one thing.

Who is a themed space designed for?

The guests who walk through it: young children, families, all ages or premium guests. Hal also asks how close they will get, whether it is seen from a distance, close up or touched all day, because that sets the finish.

Will it last a whole season of crowds?

It is built to, and to still convince at arm's length. Hal asks how long it has to last, from one season to up to three years or ten years and more, and the construction follows that answer.

How does a themed job run from brief to opening?

You share concept art, plans or a tender pack with Hal and a priced brief builds. Drawings follow and you approve them in writing. The pieces are carved, painted and lit at the factory, packed and shipped, then installed on site ready for the opening.

What is the scenic carving and paint made of?

Fibreglass, polystyrene, wood, metalwork, resin and paint cover most of what we make. Scenic carving and paint finish it so it looks like stone, wood, rock or whatever the story calls for.

What if it is based on a licensed character?

Hal asks whether the theme is a licensed character or brand needing approvals, or your own. Approvals from the owner can take time, so they belong in the plan from the start.

Can you provide the sign-off documents operators ask for?

Yes. Where an operator asks for an engineer's report, tested welding, or testing before shipping and on site, say so and the documents are in the scope. Hal also asks whether you need a warranty.

How long does themed work take?

Weeks for a grotto or a single scenic piece, and months for a large attraction with many pieces. The number of pieces and the finish set the pace. Tell Hal the opening date and we say plainly whether it is realistic.

How many pieces can a project include?

Under ten, ten to fifty, or more than fifty, across a space from a large room to a small park. Hal asks the area and the number of pieces to scope it.

What do I need to bring?

A tender or RFP pack, concept art or plans all help. With nothing yet, describe the world you want your guests to walk into.
