Material and process decisions
Use the decision column to tell suppliers what is fixed, what is flexible, and what still needs technical input.
| Decision area | Options to describe | What to clarify |
|---|---|---|
| Venue limits | Footprint, height, access, fire, electrical | Share organizer rules and approval deadlines before design confirmation. |
| System | Modular frame, panels, fabric, mixed material | Define reuse, replaceable graphics, storage, and repair expectations. |
| Setup | Crew, tools, sequence, labels, instructions | Plan the installation path and on-site access window. |
| Packing | Cases, crates, part labels, spares | Control packed size, weight, handling, and repeat use. |
| Schedule | Approval, production, transport, setup | Work backward from venue access rather than event opening alone. |
