Corporate hospitality platforms are elevated platforms used by event organisers to offer premium viewing facilities for patrons at events of all sizes. Hospitality platforms can be stand alone or be used in conjunction with temporary grandstand seating to deliver the best use of available viewing space. Hospitality platforms are often covered with carpeted marquees complete with food and beverage serving capabilities, tables, chairs, video screens, bars etc. In other instances, tables and chairs are simply placed directly on top of the platform.

Through many years of industry experience and in response to customer demand Australian Staging and Rigging has developed a modular system which we believe is the best available in the market. It provides clients with a safe raised viewing platform or stage that is flexible in design, quick to erect and dismantle and unlike other corporate platforms provides a smooth even surface due to our unique decking panels.

ASR Corporate Hospitality Platforms are suitable for use in almost any situation where elevated viewing is required. Over the years our platforms have been used extensively at events such as the Clipsal 500 Adelaide, the Gold Coast Indy 300, concert stages around Australia as well as a multitude of smaller events such as fashion parades, dance floors over swimming pools, indoor and outdoor events.

Over the last ten years ASR has refined its corporate hospitaltiy platform design to achieve a flexible, efficient to use, aesthetically pleasing product suitable for a wide range of applications. Some of the benefits of the system include;

ASR corporate hospitality platforms are designed and built using a scaffolding understructure. This means they can be raised off the ground to almost any height. It is also possible, depending on height availability, to incorporate storage, cold room or catering facilities under the platform if space is at a premium. Clients looking to create a complex multilevel stage or platform can easily be accommodated. The height change between decks is in increments of 500mm. Height adjustable footings known as ‘screw jacks’ are used to take into account platforms which are to built outdoors on uneven or undulating terrain such as golf courses or need to span gutters/drains. Indoor floor surfaces are protected by a plastic or wooden ‘sole board’.
Platforms can be built to almost any size any configuration. The minimum size platform that can be built is 2.4m square. As the system is modular the maximum size is only limited by your imagination and the size you have available. If you do have space restrictions the ASR system enables you to build stages or platforms over or on top of other event infrastructure to almost any height.
ASR’s stage deck panels are much more efficient to install compared with typical steel scaffold board and ply system. They also provide a much cleaner less undulating surface compared to the board and ply system. The ASR system is designed to be transported efficiently. All work is carried out by ASR employees who are trained, qualified where necessary and experienced in putting up the equipment. All work is carried out in accordance with industry OH and S standards. ASR is committed to always providing a safe work environment for our employees as well as other contractors, event staff and members of the general public.

There are a variety of factors which contribute to the cost of hiring a corporate viewing platform or stage. Almost every situation is likely to be different so costing is done on a case by case scenario. Some factors which need to be considered are;

• The size of platform required- the square metre size is the most commonly used way of determining cost.
• The height at which the platform is required – is it on the ground, 1 metre off the ground, or 5 metres of the ground?
• Is the platform positioned on a smooth level surface such as a gym or concrete floor or will it need to take into account uneven undulating terrain such as on a golf course, or spanning gutters or other impediments?
• The location of the event- whilst distance presents no problem to our experienced work crew who are equally at home building a platform around the corner or 2000km away on the Gold Coast it does however have an impact on the final cost.
• The length of time the platform is required for- short term and long term hire rates are available.
• Access for trucks and forklifts- ASR uses a variety of materials handling vehicles to enable the most efficient use of labour. If there is limited access for vehicles more manual handling will be required.

ASR is committed to a high level of customer service. Our experienced event staff take care of the whole process from start to finish maintaining a high level of communication with the client at all times. We have carried out this process many times before so we will tell you what we need from you and take care of the rest. The process is as follows;

From an initial enquiry ASR will arrange a site visit if suitable or ask for as much detailed information as possible to be supplied  to enable us to ascertain the clients needs. A written quote and preliminary design drawings will be provided. Once a commitment has been made ASR will develop technical engineering drawings, arrange council approval if necessary, all the time remaining in close communication with the client. Sufficient time is allowed to complete the structure before the event to allow other contractors  access. Once the event is finished ASR can be onsite immediately to dismantle the structure as soon as required.
