Creating Outstanding Playgrounds for Schools and Councils
Our unique ‘consult, design, construct’ approach ensures your new playground is expertly planned, stunningly designed, and seamlessly delivered.
Having worked with thousands of schools and councils over the past 40 years, we can confidently say you will enjoy every part of your Playcubed experience.
Consult
Creating an inspiring playground starts with planning it right. An outstanding play area uplifts the entire school or outside environment, so you must be confident you are investing wisely. That’s why we always start with our consult stage. Our consultancy process identifies exactly what your playground needs and the best strategy to achieve it. We bring creative ideas and approach from a highly experienced standpoint to maximise your return. With the plan in place, now let’s start the design!

Design
Building on what has been identified in the consult process, we work our magic to turn this strategy into feasible, creative playground concepts. Our in-house playground design team have years of experience in transforming drab spaces into inspiring play areas. We build scaled CAD models and present you with stunning 3D visuals of the proposed play area. These are accompanied with clear, broken-out costings that detail exactly what we’ll be delivering for you.

Construct
With the design agreed, our construct teams turn the concept into reality! Your dedicated project manager will arrange a pre-start meeting after which we’ll commence the construct programme. We’ll create your new play space to the highest quality and in compliance with playground safety criteria. We ensure communication is clear throughout, and pride ourselves in the glowing praises our construct teams receive. With construction complete, it’s time for the children to play!
