Our Process

Good Enough Gets Forgotten
The PM1 Way doesn't

Five steps from discovery to review. It's how we hit timelines that won't move, deliver the details nobody asks for, and build for clients who don't get a second take. The process flexes to the scope. The discipline doesn't.

Step 01

Discover

It starts with understanding the event. Scope, timeline, venue, audience, budget, and the things that keep you up at night. We listen first, then we ask the questions that surface what the brief didn't cover. By the end of this conversation, we know whether this is a fit and what the build actually requires.

Design
02
Step 02

Design

We produce a full CAD layout that accounts for the production, not just the structure. Camera positions, audio coverage, audience sightlines, performer access, crew pathways, power routing. The layout is the blueprint the entire build runs from. If something needs engineering review, our structural engineer is on the phone within minutes.

Plan
03
Step 03

Plan

Logistics, permitting, vendor coordination, crew scheduling, equipment prep. Everything that has to happen before a single truck rolls. The planning team runs this phase on constant communication. Updates push to production managers and site leads in real time.

Produce
04
Step 04

Produce

Crews arrive prepared. The layout is in hand. The equipment matches the plan. PM1 production managers and site leads own the build from first truck to last bolt. If something changes on site, we adapt. The engineer is a phone call away, drawings update fast, and the crew adjusts without losing the timeline.

Review
05
Step 05

Review

Debrief. What worked, what could be tighter, what we'd do differently. That feedback loop is how the next build gets better. Every event teaches us something. The best crews never stop learning. And we're always asking: what's next? The best partnerships don't end at load-out. They start there.

It was apparent that Lucas thoroughly briefed the team on load-in logistics. They showed up 30 minutes early and didn't need much guidance from us on where to go, what needed to be set up. We actually ended up ahead of schedule.

Your expertise helped make this event a huge success. The planning support, including the CAD drawings and production schedules for all the moving parts, were invaluable. Their hard work, advanced planning, and attention to detail proved no match for the storm systems that created many unique challenges along the way.

Miles Karp

Events Account Executive — Stage Front (Georgia Southern University Commencement)

We had two events that needed stages and both teams were on time, ready to get the work done, and very professional. In both cases our client was very demanding and not well organized and the PM1 crews rolled with the punches without missing a beat.
