Creating an incredible Haunted House, Laser Tag arena, or theater set is a monstrous task when looked at as a whole. And because of that Grave Diggers has broken our consulting into different phases.  We can do everything from Phase 1 through Phase 7 and any and all in between.  We are not limited to what is listed on this page either, if you are working on a project and run into problems send us a note and we will see if we can help.

 Phase I - Overall Plan and Theme Creation

In this phase, Grave Diggers Entertainment will meet with you to asses what your needs are and what you want your event to be. Location, price point, likes and dislikes are matched to the individual project. Brainstorming between us and you will result in the story line, characters, and soundscape. Even the event configuration and marketing schemes for your event are set up here. We will also set up a preliminary budget to determine the viability of the event.

Phase II - Design and Theme Development

Next we flesh out the design and themes. We will meet with the you and determine the size, layout, theme, and scares that the event will contain. The finalized plans are sent in a written form to so you can see what the final product will look like. These final plans are used by the construction crews on-site and are a valuable asset when securing pre-event funding or sponsorship for the event.

Phase III - Construction Drawings

Now that the design is finalized we will start creating the plans that a construction crew can follow when erecting the event. This phase of the project is the most time consuming, as each element in the project must be sized and explained to the fabricator. This set of plans includes Dimensional Floor Plans, Panel and Facade Elevations, Construction Details, and Sections explaining how eachset will be assembled. These documents will be used to obtain the necessary permits needed for the construction and operation of the event. Construction drawings are a step that is often overlooked by clients, but this phase will save several times the fee in time and materials during construction.

Phase IV - Pre-production & Budgeting

With the Construction Drawings completed, a solid realistic project budget can be produced for the total event. Included in this phase is a "Standard Operating Procedures" Manual (SOP) for the event. This manual, full of information, is your step by step guide book on how to operate the event. It includes, ticket booth procedures, safety training, character assignments and orientation, prop instructions, and employee contracts to ensure that your event is a huge success!

Phase V - Construction Supervision & Art Direction

With a budget and construction drawings completed, the process of actually building the event can be preformed. A Grave Diggers Team Member is available to oversee the construction and/or scenic paint treatment of the attraction if needed.  For an additional fee Grave Diggers can even provide our professional and seasoned crew to do the construction. During this time Grave Diggers also starts construction on the custom props and sets that were designed and then we ship them to you!

Phase VI - Installation/Startup Supervision

With the construction completed, it is time for installation and set decoration. A Grave Diggers Team Member will either train and supervise the client's crew on the proper and most efficient installation of the attractions or our crew will come in and do the installation and setup. Then, if needed, the same crew can disassemble the attractions at the end of the attraction's operation without assistance. The Grave Diggers Team Member will also assist with actor, and operations training

Phase VII - Re-Design

When the first year of the event is a huge success, it is time to think about changes to be made for year two. Approximately one third of each element should be revised each year, most importantly the first and last rooms of each attraction. In year two. Grave Diggers Team Members will create new and exciting room designs and themes to your elements at one quarter the cost of the original design.
