Behind every successful installation or event is a clear and detailed technical specification. It’s the foundation that guides contractors, suppliers, and installers to deliver exactly what you need. At Phantom PD, our consultancy team specialises in creating technical specifications that turn complex ideas into clear, achievable plans.
Clarity from Concept to Completion
A strong specification ensures everyone involved understands the scope, requirements, and standards of your project. Whether you’re designing a theatre lighting system, a conference audio network, or a full venue infrastructure, we detail every aspect so there’s no confusion during tendering or installation.
Our specifications include:
System Overviews – explaining how each part integrates and operates
Equipment Lists – accurate and costed to meet your performance goals
Installation Requirements – power, rigging, cabling, and control needs
Drawings and Layouts – to show positioning and connectivity clearly
Compliance and Standards – ensuring the project meets all safety and technical regulations
Bridging the Gap Between Vision and Reality
We work closely with clients, architects, and contractors to ensure technical designs are practical, affordable, and aligned with the intended use of the space. Our approach blends creative thinking with technical precision, ensuring the final outcome performs as well as it looks.
Supporting the Tender Process
A detailed technical specification also helps with tendering. By setting clear expectations and consistent criteria, you’ll receive accurate and comparable quotations from potential suppliers, saving you time and preventing costly surprises.
