First off, Creo’s 15-minute ideas session is a no-obligation, brainstorming meeting where we can discuss all your vision and ideas for your space. This service is no strings attached and is here to help you get the ball rolling on your project.  

There are 4 things we cover in that 15-minute ideas session: 

 

1. We take a look at high-res aerial images of your site.

We use software that allows us to get an aerial view of your space wherever you might be in New Zealand. The imagery is very up-to-date, and we use this to help us get a glimpse of what your space looks like, so we can begin to understand your vision and brainstorm some ideas that might work for you. 

 

2. Explore your vision and clarify your priorities. 

We do this so we can make sure that we are really focusing on the things that matter to you. It will also help to flesh out the ideas you and your team have been coming up with and how these might fit within your space.

 

3. Discuss your budget.  

This is a really critical part of your planning at this early stage. We spend some time going through your budget and expectations and give you some honest feedback on whether your budget is in line with your vision.  

 

4. We sign off with very clear next steps for you and your team.  

 

So, what do you get out of this 15-minute session? 

Two words. Clarity and Confidence. 

 

Clarity:  
  • You’ll have a very good idea of your priorities and what you are wanting to achieve in the design of your space.  
  • You’ll have clarity on whether your budget is in tune with your vision and what changes if any need to be made if any. 
  • You’ll have an idea of potential issues or hurdles that you might face in the future of your project. Knowing these things in the early stages with give you the assurance you need before you commit to anything.   

 

Confidence: 
  • You’ll leave this session confident that you’re heading in the right direction, with some clear next steps that you need to take. 
  • And by the end of your ideas session, we can ensure that you are working with the most suitable company for your project.  

 

For example, sometimes Creo might not be the best fit for your project. In that case, we’ll tell you upfront in this early session and we can recommend another company that might be better to partner with. 

If Creo is the right fit for your project, and we have some decent aerial imagery, we can push go and start putting together a concept for you.

Do we have to pay for a concept?

One of the most common questions we get asked by clients looking to work with Creo is: “Do we have to pay for a Creo design concept?”.

The answer is no.  

This is because at Creo we design and build playgrounds. We like to help clients kick off their playground projects and be there throughout the whole process.  

Our team of consultants will give you a concept for your space without any fee required. Though it is good to note, that any concepts our designers create are covered by copyright and they remain as the intellectual property of Creo.  

When you reach out to us for a design concept, we also give you a number, indicating the value of the entire build from start to finish. This gives you the clarity and confidence you need to take to your team and make those critical decisions.  

Creo hardly ever exceeds this initial number when it comes time to turn your concept into a reality. Sure, you might make some changes and tweaks here and there, but we’re with you every step of the way. We can revise the concept and value as needed until you are happy and ready to start your build project.  

Our friendly team of play space consultants are experts in helping you arrange your ideas and guide you through the process of creating your dream playground.  

If you’d like to talk to someone about a future project or would like a concept designed for your space, give us a call on 0800 000 334, or book a 15-minute ideas session with one of our consultants.
