THE 5 PHASES

Each project that makes its way through the Theme Factory goes through the following five phases:

PHASE 1 - CONSULTATION

PHASE 2 - DESIGN

PHASE 3 - FABRICATION

PHASE 4 - INSTALLATION

PHASE 5 - SUPPORT

 

Consultation

In the Consultation phase, we begin with a discovery analysis of your project.

Design

In the Design phase, we begin developing a concept that fits within your goals and visually depicts the themed environment and props as they will appear at completion. This visual design can include a number of things depending on your needs; from sketches to color illustrations to clay figures, 3D computer models, laser scanned images, décor recommendations, room finishes, attraction layouts, and more.

Generally, upon the substantial completion of the Design phase, we will present a proposal for the fabrication of your project or specific pieces depending on the scope of work required. This process ensures we accurately understand your needs and enables us to design a themed environment that will exceed your expectations.
