What to send when requesting a school playground quote in Botswana

A school playground starts with the people who will use it and the space available. You do not need a finished design before speaking to Jungle City. A clear brief helps the team understand your priorities and identify the questions that need answering before a quotation can be prepared.

Start with the location and available space

Tell us the school name, town or area, and where the playground will sit on the property. Include approximate dimensions or a simple sketch. Mark buildings, paths, trees, existing equipment and other features that may affect the layout. If measurements are approximate, say so; they can be checked during the planning process.

Describe who will use the playground

Include the intended age groups and how the space is used during a typical school day. Explain whether the playground is for one class at a time or a shared break area. Mention access requirements and any particular activities you would like to support, such as climbing, swinging, sliding or quieter play. The final equipment choice should be discussed around the users and the site rather than chosen from a photograph alone.

Send a small set of useful site photos

Take a wide view from more than one side so the team can understand the overall space. Add closer views of the ground, access route and any existing structures that are relevant. Keep unrelated people and private documents out of the photographs. Real site photos are more useful than an example image when assessing how a proposed layout might fit.

You can also share an example from the Jungle City project gallery and explain what you like about it. Be specific: perhaps it is the wooden towers, the arrangement of swings or the combination of play equipment and shade. An example helps communicate your preferences, but it does not confirm that the same configuration or price applies to another site.

Be clear about what the quotation should include

Equipment, ground preparation, surfacing, shade, delivery and installation are separate parts of a project brief. Tell us which parts you already have and which parts you want considered. Ask what is included in the proposed scope and what still needs confirmation. If you are comparing catalogue equipment prices, keep them separate from the final cost of installing a complete play area.

Share the budget and timing you are working towards

A budget range helps the team discuss priorities and possible phases. If you do not yet have a budget, explain what the school is trying to achieve. Include a preferred completion period, school calendar considerations and any internal approval or procurement steps. A requested date is a planning preference until the team confirms the programme.

When you are ready, open the Jungle City quote page and share your brief. The team can use the details to discuss the next steps and prepare a quotation around your site. Final equipment specifications, installation requirements and pricing should be confirmed in the written proposal.
