Stage Design & Engineering
Site surveys, structural engineering, and custom stage design. The plan the whole build is measured against.
Site surveys, structural engineering, and custom stage design. The plan the whole build is measured against.
Survey First.
We survey the physical site down to structure, power, and clearances. Laser scans and load readings replace assumptions. The stage is designed for the room you actually have.
Steel And Load.
Structural engineers size the rigging, mounts, and LED support for real weight and motion. Every hang point is calculated and stamped. Nothing goes overhead on a guess.
One Set Of Truth.
We produce full CAD documentation, permit packages, and a custom stage design. This is the single source every trade builds against. Change control starts here, not on site.

A Synapse design package specifies geometry, structure, and pipeline before a single tile ships. Installers, electricians, and integrators work from one coordinated set. The build matches the drawing.

The plan the build follows
Spec your stage
Turn a room and a brief into an engineered, permitted plan.
Spec your stage with us
Stage design and engineering is the plan every other phase of a volume build is measured against. Synapse surveys the physical site, engineers the structure and rigging, and produces the CAD documentation, permit packages and custom stage design that trades, integrators and inspectors all work from.
Survey the building you actually have
Volume projects fail on the building far more often than on the technology. Ceiling height, column positions, floor load, power service, door clearances and access routes decide what a room can hold, and none of them are negotiable once the lease is signed. We survey the site properly, with laser scans and load readings rather than assumptions, and design the stage for the space in front of us.
The stage is designed for the room you actually have.
Steel and load
An LED volume is a significant suspended weight that moves, and it sits above people for a living. Structural engineers size the rigging, mounts and LED support for real loads including dynamic factors, and every hang point is calculated and stamped. This is the part of the process that is not worth optimizing: nothing goes overhead on a guess.
One documented set of truth
The output is a coordinated documentation package, not a concept render. Every trade on a build works from the same drawings, which is what stops the electrical contractor and the rigger discovering each other's plans on site.
What the design package includes
- Site survey: laser scan, structural assessment, power and clearance audit
- Structural engineering: rigging, mounts and LED support sized and stamped
- Custom stage design: wall geometry, ceiling, floor and operating positions
- CAD documentation: full coordinated drawing set
- Permit packages: prepared for submission
- Change control: a baseline the build is measured against
Geometry is a creative decision
How wide the wall runs, how far it curves, whether it carries a ceiling and how the wall meets that ceiling all decide what the stage can shoot. A seamless wall-to-ceiling transition removes the visible edge that limits vertical framing. A deeper curve buys wider coverage before the frustum runs out. These are cinematography decisions dressed as engineering ones, which is why a design package should come from people who have shot on the result.
