Quick answer
Start from the venue, not the furniture list
Define the chargeable period from permitted access, setup start, handover, guest use, dismantling and vehicle collection—not only the event date.
Details to settle first
- Record every date and time with venue access, crew responsibility, overtime basis, overnight holding and public-holiday constraints.
- Use one signed timeline shared by the venue, organiser and supplier, with a named approver for timing changes.
