Our proactive approach provides all the information and special crew requests they need to successfully assemble skilled technicians, engineers and craftsperson’s to make each production a success.
On-site labor coordination services are available. Full on-site coordination for complex productions provides you with a venue-experienced coordinator. They are available daily to handle all labor check-in, payroll, labor call additions or call time changes. The coordinator provides the production with daily budget reports and can easily generate additional estimates for any “what if ?” scenarios that need to be considered. Partial coordination is available for less complex events.
