Meta: See our 6-stage custom workflow that trims FEC install time 40 %. Includes PE stamp letter, VR walk-through & free 30-min engineering consult.

1. Stage 1 – Discovery & Risk Mapping
   We start with a 45-min Zoom call and a 15-question ASTM/FEM gap-analysis template (download link). Topics include:
   • Target demographic (toddler vs teens vs corporate)
   • Seismic zone and wind load factors
   • Required clearances for ADA routes
2. Stage 2 – Rapid 3-D Print & VR Walk-Through
   Within 72 hrs our CAD team exports an STL file, prints a 1:20 scale model on a Raise3D Pro3, and uploads the scene to Mozilla Hubs. Clients walk the virtual arena with an Oculus Quest 2—approvals captured via emoji vote, cutting revision rounds from 4 to 1.6 on average.
3. Stage 3 – Value-Engineering
   Cost vs. OPEX matrix (live Google Sheet):
   | Option | CAPEX | Annual Maintenance | 5-yr TCO | Risk Level | |——–|——–|——————–|———-|————| | Steel truss | $48 k | $1 800 | $57 k | Low | | Aluminum space-frame | $55 k | $800 | $59 k | Med | | Hybrid (steel + composites) | $52 k | $1 200 | $58 k | Low |

4. Stage 4 – CE Certification & Structural Warranty
   All welds are ISO 3834-2 compliant. We issue a CE Declaration of Conformity plus a 7-year structural warranty backed by Zurich Insurance. Download the sample PE stamp PDF (non-editable) to speed your own permit package.
5. Stage 5 – Pre-Assembly & Fatigue Testing
   Every bolted joint is torqued to spec in our factory, then run through 100 000 cycles on an MTS 810 servohydraulic rig—simulating 5 years of peak traffic. Failures caught here prevent 4× cost on-site.
6. Stage 6 – White-Glove Install & Punch List
   Our crew arrives with color-coded crates (IKEA-style pictograms). A typical 400 sq ft ninja course takes 290 labor hours vs 480 for stick-built—40 % faster. Time-lapse GIF (internal link) shows day-0 to grand-opening in 3 minutes.
7. Real Numbers: 480 → 290 Install Hours Bar chart (Datawrapper) compares 2022 vs 2023 projects. Median client saves US $11 400 in labor and opens 6 days earlier.
