Plan portable toilets around your site and guests
Tell suppliers the likely peak attendance, event length and facilities available at the venue. Discuss standard portable units, accessible options and toilet trailers based on the type of event. Show where delivery vehicles can reach, where the units will stand and what the walking route is like for guests. Ask about handwashing provision, consumables and servicing if the event runs over several days.
Send a temporary power brief to the supplier
List the equipment that needs power, including catering appliances, refrigeration, sound, lighting and supplier stalls. Collect equipment details from each provider, ask when items will be running and share the site layout with a temporary power supplier. Discuss generator placement, distribution, noise and cover. Include setup and overnight requirements so the supplier can scope a system around the whole event.
Agree delivery, access and on-site support
Outdoor venue access can change when structures, parked vehicles and guests arrive. Give suppliers delivery and collection windows, details of gates and ground conditions, and a contact for coordinating access. Ask which checks, consumables and servicing are included in the quote and what support is available during the event. Coordinate water, waste and collection arrangements with the relevant operators.
