our process
Our project process at Saturn Projects
At Saturn, whatever the project, our approach will always remain the same. We’ve developed the ‘perfect process’ after many years (too many to count) in creating bespoke experiences and environments. Great teamwork results in great outcomes, and when we take on a project, we become an extension of your existing team. We believe that as well having the technical and creative skills you need, we’re the sort of people you want to work with. Every project is different, so we pride ourselves in being flexible and great listeners, ensuring your project entertains, informs, delights, engages and thrills your audience.
Project Objectives
The first step of any project is to understand the business goals, project needs and any constraints in place such as planning or financial. These will then be taken and turned into the projects strategic objectives, and define the concepts we produce.
Design
We ‘do our thing’ and create a variety of imaginative and creative ideas, based on your objectives. The sky isn’t the limit here, as we use our many years of knowledge to create a design that is iconic, sustainable, accessible and practical. We then deliver these concepts in a client friendly package that can be easily understood by project stakeholders.
Concept Development
Once the initial concepts start to come together, we undertake a variety of tasks to ensure that the project is feasible. We get busy planning, budgeting and collecting estimates based on the concepts. We also assist with market analysis, so can understand if the project will be popular with customers.
Refining
Once the design is completed, we share the information with our architects, engineers and external vendors. This enables us to obtain a more realistic budget and construction schedule, and give you and your stakeholders the information you’ll need to proceed with the project.
Design Development
At this stage, we drill down into the real fine details, creating design drawings, technical information and descriptions of all the elements within the project. This ensures everyone involved is ‘on the same page’ and it is a collective effort to bring the idea to life.
Construction Document Review
As a stakeholder, how do you know that your build will be as you envisioned? At the construction document review stage, things start to move from paper to real life. We will monitor and review the work of the architects and fabricators to ensure the plans are followed to the dot.
Construction Phase
Saturn will oversee and supervise the construction phase, ensuring that the plans are followed and the design intent is kept at the forefront of the project. We will oversee all elements of the built, ensuring things are kept on time and on budget.
Media Production and Installation
Some projects may require multimedia, such as shows, lighting, video, artwork etc. Saturn can help with all aspects of the project, ensuring that the media elements are brought to life as detailed within the plans. We are there to supervise the installation and oversee the testing of all the elements, to ensure that they all work together to bring the project to life.
Soft Opening and Feedback
Can we breathe a sigh of relief? We can’t relax just yet, as we use the soft opening process to invite a group of ‘forgiving’ guests (usually employees and their families) to test run the project. At this stage, we observe and watch the visitors behaviour, making any modifications where needed. We also feedback visitor insights and act upon reviews.
Opening
Saturn will be on-hand to ensure the launch of your new venture is a success, making small tweaks if necessary, but now you can watch the money start to roll in. Saturn can also be called upon should you want to update your offering in the future, to ensure everything stays relevant and up-to-date for your visitors.
