Client’s brief
How We Planned a Groundbreaking for a Global Client
The event needed to integrate cutting-edge technology, allowing guests to visualise the scale and unique features of the new mega facility. Key themes of digitalisation and sustainability were also central to the overall experience.
Our Approach
For the main launch moment, we combined the traditional sandbox shovelling with cutting-edge 3D video mapping technology and a bespoke launch animation video. This fusion created multiple ‘wow’ moments for guests and provided unique photo opportunities for the media.
In line with our commitment to sustainability, all ingredients used in meals were sourced responsibly, and no single-use plastics were permitted on-site.
Strategic Outcomes
- Strong media coverage and stakeholder engagement
- Seamless guest flow, protocol-ready planning Positive internal
- Positive internal recognition from regional leadership
- Future-facing brand positioning through use of tech and sustainability

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Groundbreaking Ceremony Services
Groundbreaking Ceremony Services
Our groundbreaking ceremony services are designed to mark new beginnings with precision and dignity. Below are some common questions clients often ask when planning this milestone event.
Q: What makes a groundbreaking ceremony different from an opening ceremony?
A groundbreaking ceremony marks the start of construction, symbolising the beginning of a project, whereas an opening ceremony celebrates its completion. Both require meticulous planning, but the tone, flow, and symbolic elements differ, which is why engaging an experienced partner is crucial.
Q: How far in advance should I begin planning a groundbreaking ceremony?
We recommend starting preparations at least three to six months ahead. This allows time to secure the venue, manage permits, coordinate vendors, and design a programme that reflects the significance of the occasion.
Q: Can you assist with protocol and guest management?
Yes. Our team ensures that opening ceremony events management is carefully orchestrated. With experience across government, institutional, and corporate settings, we provide discreet and professional handling of every detail.
Q: Why should I engage a professional events planner in Singapore?
A groundbreaking ceremony is often a high-profile event attended by stakeholders, partners, and dignitaries. Working with a trusted events planner in Singapore ensures that the ceremony is executed smoothly, with no overlooked details that could impact the experience.
