Phase I - Overall Plan and Theme Creation - $1,000

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

Phase II - Design and Theme Development- $1,000 plus $1.00 per SQ FT

The next phase is when we flesh out the design and themes. We will meet with the client and determine the size, layout, theme, and scares that the event will contain. The finalized plans are sen in a written form to the client to see what the final product will look like. These final plans are used by the construction crews on-site and are a valuable asset to the client when securing pre-event funding or sponsorship for an event that is not yet built.

Phase III - Construction Drawings - $1,300 plus $1.00 per SQ FT

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 each event will be assembled. With this set of documents, the client can go to area contractors and get competitive bids for the fabrication of the project. These documents will also 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 - $1,300 plus $1.00 per SQ FT

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 - Cost Varies

With a budget and construction drawings completed, the process of actually building the event can be preformed by a local contractor or the client's own crew. A Grave Diggers Team Member is available to oversee the construction and/or scenic paint treatment of the attraction if needed. Cost can vary depending on many factors. For a quote please fill out our booking page.

Phase VI - Installation/Startup Supervision - Cost Varies

With the construction completed, it is time for installation and set decoration. A Grave Diggers Team Member will train and supervise the client's crew on the proper and most efficient installation of the attractions. Then, if needed, the same crew can disassemble the attractions at the end of the attraction operation without assistance. The Grave Diggers Team Member will also assist with actor training and proper operation of each attraction. Cost can vary depending on many factors. For a quote please fill out our booking page.

Phase VII - Re-Design - $1,500 plus $1.00 per SQ FT

With the first year of the event a huge success, it is time to think about changes to be made for year two, to freshen up the attractions. 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.
