Budget planning guide

Team Building Budget Examples

A useful budget is not just per-person math. It separates activity scope, venue or shelter, food, prizes, facilitation, and logistics so the quote can explain what is included instead of hiding trade-offs.

Build your budget scenario

Enter your group size, then choose the venue direction and objective. Review which costs to include before asking for a quote.

Decision framework

What a useful budget separates

Compare activity, venue, and extras separately so you can see what each quote includes and why totals differ.

Activity

Format and facilitation

The chosen activity drives facilitator count, equipment, setup time, and whether the format needs stations or waves.

Venue

Room, field, shelter, and access

A low activity price can become less useful if the venue adds rental, rain risk, or load-in complexity.

Add-ons

Food, prizes, emcee, and logistics

A family day or offsite can need a broader event budget even when the activity itself is straightforward.

Readiness check

Quote Detail Checklist

Tick the items that will stop budget conversations from becoming vague.

FAQ

Common planning questions

When should this page move into the Event Planner?

Use the Event Planner once you know approximate headcount, date range, venue direction, and the decision that is still open. The planner preserves this page context so Cohesion can respond with a sharper recommendation.

Should I choose an activity before confirming the venue?

For simple office groups, a shortlist can come first. For larger, weather-sensitive, or multi-zone events, venue fit and activity fit should move together.

Is this page replacing the activity pages?

No. This page helps you decide the direction. The activity pages still explain the actual format, game modes, setup, and request path.
