About PM1

Who
We Are

Production Management One is a production infrastructure partner specializing in the design and deployment of staging, seating, and structures for live events.

We operate from Detroit, Orlando, and the DC metro. We build mainly nationwide; worldwide when called.

Our clients are event producers, networks, leagues, agencies, and campaigns. The work is high-stakes and quick-turn. The timeline is aggressive. The audience is watching. There is no room to get it wrong.

We're not a rental catalog. We're the team that thinks like a director, builds like a crew that's done this a thousand times, and shows up ready to own the outcome.

The Approach

How We Work

Every PM1 job starts the same way: with production thinking. Before a single piece of decking ships, our team designs with broadcast logic, camera sightlines, performer flow, and audience experience built into the layout from the start.

One team owns the timeline. One point of accountability manages the build. The client never chases five vendors. They call us.

We find a way to say yes. If a job requires more than what's in our inventory, we source it from a vetted partner network across the country, manage it under PM1 production standards, and deliver the full scope under one team. First projects turn into multi-year national partnerships.

When something changes, and it always changes, our team is on the phone within minutes. Drawings update. Parts lists regenerate. Gear hot-shots to site. Updates push to crew before load-in.

That's the difference between a production infrastructure partner and a company that drops off equipment.

Capabilities

What We Build

Our core is staging, seating, and structures. From standard event decks to complex multi-level configurations with ADA-compliant ramps, tiered press risers, VIP platforms, and broadcast-ready camera positions.

When the event demands it, the trucks also carry TV lighting, LED walls, audio systems, wireless comms, power distribution, generators, lifts, floor and turf protection, pipe and drape, crowd control, and everything else it takes to deliver a complete production.

We lead with the production thinking. The capability follows.

Our Story

PM1 was built in 2018 by people who had already spent careers in the trucks. The first builds were on tight timelines, in front of national audiences, with no margin to get it wrong. That part has not changed.

What changed is the scale. Three warehouses. National deployment. The work that started on a single rapid-turn build now runs across inaugurations, championship broadcasts, brand activations, and arena tours that change cities overnight.

The standard travels. The crew gets sharper every cycle. The work earns the next call.

PM1 has been a great partner from start to finish. Your attention to detail is what makes you stand out. It's the reason we continue to use your services.
