How to Write an AV Production Quote
What to Include in an AV Production Quote
AV bids need room diagrams, headcount, run-of-show assumptions, power available, and strike time windows.
Line Items and Pricing
Separate gear packages, labor, transport, and consumables like gaffer tape or batteries.
Tools and Licensing
Note music licensing if you provide walk-in tracks, streaming rights, and venue insurance riders.
Scope of Work
Define rehearsal coverage, changeover timing, and who provides stage deck or risers.
Timeline
Load-in, show call, and strike hours should align with union rules if applicable.
Tips for Winning More AV Production Work
- Site survey before you promise line array coverage.
- Offer good-better-best packages for repeat corporate clients.
- List power requirements so venues approve fast.
- Bundle streaming with recording deliverables.
- Confirm strike access in writing to avoid overtime surprises.

Quote vs. Estimate
Planners may request an AV estimate during budgeting or a binding quote after CAD review. Use both terms. Early estimating uses guest counts; the signed quote references the approved plot. Quoting should match the crew call sheet.
