You've just had one of those flashes of creative genius, a design idea that shatters the ordinary. It is a big bold idea! Groundbreaking! In reality; unlikely to ever get built.
All too often this is the scenario that designers have to face once they start costing new designs. All too often the bold and beautiful get left on the cutting room floor. Getting multiple trades involved in a project can send costs through the roof, if the design is buildable at all. Even if it does move forward, the design will likely need to get "dumbed down" in order to fit the realities of budgets and abilities.
It doesn't have to be that way. Great Lakes Scenic Studios excels in taking on complex design challenges that leave other shops stumped. One of our core strengths is having so many different trades under one roof. Specialty welding, carpentry, scenic painting, electrical, automation and props to name a few. When we look at a job, we have a lot more manufacturing options to draw on. In effect we are drawing with the full 64-Pack of Crayons, not just the 8-Pack.
Communication is also vastly improved by working under one roof. Problems can be solved and questions answered as they arise simply by walking across the shop floor instead of stopping and waiting for "call-backs or emails".
Next time your design calls for something out of the ordinary, drop Great Lakes Scenic Studios a line and be prepared for the extraordinary. You won't be disappointed.
