Outdoor spaces and grounds: Enquiry form for playground builders
An enquiry form for playground builders that asks for a site plan, user group, existing surfacing and obstacles, so the designer knows beforehand what fits on a site.
What makes an enquiry complete for playground builders.
An enquiry to playground builders usually starts with an email from a school board, a nursery or a council officer: "we want to renew the playground". How big the site is, which trees stand on it, whether cables or drains run underneath and how old the children are all have to be asked afterwards. Sometimes there is a site drawing, but it is often old or has no dimensions. With a renewal, nobody remembers what surface lies under the sand or paving. The designer sketches on assumptions, and the visit reveals that half the site sits under a tree canopy full of roots.

From form to assessed enquiry.
Capture users and use
The form first asks who the site is for: age groups, whether children with disabilities use it and whether it is public or enclosed. It also asks how intensively it is used, for example by a whole school every break or only by a few families at weekends. That shapes equipment choice as much as age does.
Map the site
The requester uploads a site drawing or aerial photo and marks the area. Questions follow about existing surfacing, trees, fencing, paths and level changes, and whether the location of cables and pipes is known. Photos from a few set angles complete the picture for the designer.
Review and route the enquiry
The designer or account manager sees the full enquiry and chooses: send a sketch, visit the site first or ask a question first. If it is a public tender, they flag it so the correct procedure is followed and no proposal goes out that breaks the rules.
Enquiries in one place, not the inbox.
Enquiries now arrive by email, phone, at trade fairs and through tender platforms. Site drawings come from the council, a school or a landscape architect. The form gives those enquiries one entrance and keeps drawings and photos with the request. Tenders continue to run through the platform where they were published. After review, the enquiry moves into the design or quoting program the company already uses.
Ask for age or play needs
Age groups are easy to ask about but do not say everything. A school with lots of children who love running and football wants something different from a nursery centred on quiet play. A short question about what happens on the site now and what is missing gives the designer more direction than an age range alone.
Client supplies site data or a survey
A client who sends a drawing with dimensions speeds things up, but old drawings are often out of date. Surveying on a visit takes time but prevents a design that does not fit. The form allows both and asks how old the drawing is, so the designer can judge how far to rely on it.
Renew or start from scratch
When a playground is renewed, some equipment may stay and part of the surfacing may be reused. A new site starts empty. Two routes in the form make sure a renewal asks about existing equipment, its condition and what should happen to it, while a new site skips those questions entirely.

Read the storyWhich questions the form asks.
The form is ready at the start with questions about users, use, site and existing situation, plus an overview for the designer and the choice between sketch, site visit or follow-up question. We put it to the test together with a nursery that wants to furnish a small courtyard and with a council renewing a playground next to a pond. A separate route for tenders and an enquiry that flows on into a quote can be switched on whenever you want.

Explore pricing and optionsWhat if there is no site drawing?
Then an aerial photo with the area marked and photos from set angles will do, plus a few measurements. The form explains which measurements matter most. On the site visit the designer measures the rest, so the sketch ends up resting on a reliable drawing.
Can the form take tenders into account?
The form asks whether the work runs through a tender and flags the enquiry if so. The account manager then follows the contracting authority's procedure. The form does not replace that procedure, but makes sure the request is not treated as an ordinary quote.
How do we ask about cables and pipes?
The form asks whether the requester knows where cables, pipes and drains run and whether there is a drawing. Often the answer is no, and that is valuable to know. The designer factors it into preparing the groundwork and checking for underground services.
Can we ask whether children were consulted?
Yes. The form asks whether wishes from children, parents or residents have been gathered and whether they can be attached. A drawing by children or a list of wishes helps the designer create a place that suits the people who will actually play there.
