Planning
Theatre Solutions offers a variety of services designed to help in the planning and successful completion of any project requiring the use of fixed seating. Our services include analyzing proposed architectural plans and developing a seating layout that best meets the project criteria. We will assist in resolving issues related to code compliance and sight line development. All TSI preliminary services are free to architects and potential customers.
TSI's staff includes experienced product designers capable of creating products and components which may be required to address unique project specifications. Our manufacturing infrastructure is flexible, which allows for economical and efficient production of custom products. Follow this link for a sample of custom designs produced for a variety of projects.
Program/Schematic Design Based on the estimated project requirements, we will assist architects in the development of a preliminary budget covering fixed seating. This will ensure the establishment of a project budget that includes adequate funding for the product that meets the architect's requirements.
Design Development During this critical phase of the project, we will assist the architect in the development of preliminary chair layout drawings, taking into consideration proper sightlines and code compliance. In many cases, the layout drawings must be perfected through several submissions. Special product requirements and possible solutions will be offered at this time. TSI will develop preliminary fixed seating specifications, which will be submitted to the architect for review and possible modifications. By solving design and specifications problems in greater detail during this phase of the work, the architect is able to simplify project documentation and avoid potentially costly oversights.
Construction Documents As the architectural working drawings are finalized, TSI will update the chair layout and produce drawings to reflect all changes implemented since the preliminary documentation. TSI will also finalize the seating specifications in any format required by the architect to insure consistency with the rest of the contract documents. This will allow the architect to include the specifications and drawings in the construction documents without further work.
Project Management Every project awarded to TSI, regardless of size, will be assigned to a dedicated project manager who ensures that every detail of the contract receives full attention. The shop drawing submission will be completed in accordance to the project requirements and will take into consideration every detail unique to the project. It will include the exact location of every chair, installation details, the selected fabric and other appropriate details such as aisle lights, removable chairs, tablet arms, and any other options that are included in the contract. Once the shop drawing submittal is approved, TSI will schedule the production of the order in coordination with the project schedule.
Installation If the installation is included in TSI's contract, it will always be accomplished by a factory-trained installer and, in many cases, under the supervision of TSI factory representatives.
Every portion of this work will be accomplished under the direct supervision of one or more of the TSI principals who, along with the project manager, will always be available to clarify any questions or discuss any aspect of the project with the project leaders.
The TSI design staff is anxious to work with you on your next theater chair project.
