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.

Decision framework

What a useful budget separates

Competitor budget posts often stop at rough totals. you need a way to see which bucket is creating the quote difference.

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.

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.
