1. START FROM THE OVERALL TECHNICAL PLAN
Positions and interfaces should be known before crews arrive so contradictory decisions are not made on site.
FORCE EVENT — STRUCTURE GUIDE
How do you coordinate structure, lighting and video during setup?
Structure, lighting and video are often interdependent. A support may need to be in place before equipment can be installed, while some cables or elements must remain accessible during setup.
Coordination therefore depends on one shared work sequence rather than three independent schedules.

2. DEFINE THE WORK SEQUENCE
Each trade should know the prerequisites for its work and which elements need to remain accessible.
03
3. SHARE TIMES AND WORK AREAS
Crews may need the same spaces, access equipment or working windows, so conflicts should be identified in the schedule.

4. PLAN DISMANTLING AS WELL
Removal often follows the dependencies in reverse, so dismantling should be considered during setup planning.
