Description
Bump-in is a construction job with a deadline that will not move. Bump-out is the same job in reverse, done by tired people in the dark while a venue manager waits to lock up. Most styling businesses plan the first one loosely and the second one not at all, which is exactly why the last hour runs over, crates go missing and hire companies invoice for items nobody can find.
This run sheet turns both windows into a written plan your crew can follow without asking you a question every five minutes.
What is inside
- The four things to settle four weeks out: access times, what is in the room before you, who else is bumping in, and house rules
- A printable access and logistics sheet covering docks, lifts, parking, power, storage and fixing rules
- Crew roles and a role allocation table with names, mobiles and start times
- How to load the vehicle backwards so the last item in is the first item out
- An eight-stage on-site build order, from walk-and-mark to lighting and handover
- A blank bump-in run sheet by time, task, zone and person
- A full styling tool kit list you can pack against
- An eight-stage bump-out order and a matching bump-out run sheet with item counts
- A damage and condition record to complete with the venue
Who it is for
Wedding stylists and event designers running installs, planners who supervise other people’s crews, and anyone moving from solo set-ups to working with a team.
After you use it, your crew arrives briefed, your build runs in an order that never doubles back, and you leave site with a counted load, photographs and a signed condition check. Contract, liability and damage-cost wording is flagged as a conversation for your own lawyer rather than something this template writes for you.
