Think outdoor events are risky business?
Not for PM1.
At PM1, we take rugged landscapes and transform them into reliable, rock-solid event stages. Whether it’s a sloped amphitheater or an unpredictable riverside park, our team thrives in environments where precision and adaptability matter most.
We don’t just build stages, we build safety and confidence into every riser, deck, and truss.
Why PM1 Excels in Outdoor Builds
Outdoor production can be complicated due to unforeseen circumstances, but when you come prepared, it’s 100% do-able. Here’s what makes PM1 the go-to crew for staging where others hesitate:
✅ Decades of Hands-On Experience
With over a decade in the field and hundreds of outdoor projects under our belt, we’ve refined a workflow that’s fast, accurate, and dependable. Our field teams conduct highly detailed site surveys that help us anticipate problems before they happen, keeping your event on time and on target.
“I have done over 300 site surveys—and counting.” — Ryan Adams, PM1 Lead CAD Designer
✅ Specialized Tools + Skilled Techs
From basic laser levels, slope readers, digital protractors to advanced survey equipment, we’ve got you covered whether you’re building on grass, gravel, or a 12-degree incline.
✅ Rigging That Holds Up
Every truss, deck, and riser we install is anchored with precision, not just placed on the ground. Our outdoor builds are designed to support rigging, lighting, signage, and more for major festivals, brand activations, and athletic showcases.
✅ Communication That Connects
We host “same page meetings” to ensure clarity across every department. No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just clean, coordinated execution. Front and center to these meetings is the challenge mindset - our commitment and internal values of seeking the right cutting-edge solution for every project.
“It’s not about whose idea wins — it’s about which idea builds safer and smarter.” — Tom Baclawski, Vice President of Structure and Staging Solutions
Our Proven Process: Built to Adapt
We approach outdoor events with a repeatable, reliable framework that’s customized to fit your terrain:
1. Laser-Accurate Site Surveys
Every job starts with boots on the ground. We take hundreds of laser points to capture slope data, ground variance, and potential hazards.
2. Detailed CAD Design
Site notes and photos are instantly digitized into CAD drawings. We convert laser heights into deck finish elevations, ensuring that even the most lopsided plots result in perfectly level platforms.
3. Collaborative Pre-Production
Our cross-department planning meetings eliminate missteps. Everyone, survey crew, CAD techs, rigging leads, comes together to determine the best approach.
Expert Insight: Built on Safety, Backed by Experience
Ryan’s perspective says it best:
“We never put out a product we feel isn’t safe. If there’s uncertainty, we bring every inventory and structural expert into the conversation before we move forward.”
From that ethos comes our strength, the ability to say yes to locations others walk away from.
Let’s Build It Right
From NFL-branded pop-ups to music festivals in the woods, PM1 is built for outdoor action. If your next event needs a strong foundation on any ground, PM1 is ready. We don’t just build events. We build trust — one safe platform at a time.
