If you’re getting quotes from more than one team building provider, it helps to compare them on the same criteria rather than just the headline price. Use this checklist to line up your options side by side.
Tailoring
Does the provider adjust the activity to your team’s actual goal (onboarding, celebration, a reset after a hard quarter), or is it a fixed package regardless of who’s in the room? Ask what specifically would change if you told them your goal.
What’s actually included
Compare the headline price against what’s bundled in: facilitator, equipment, materials. Then check what’s charged on top: venue, catering, travel, minimum group numbers. Two quotes that look similar on paper can differ a lot once the extras are added.
Group size experience
A provider used to running events for 20 people plans differently to one used to running events for 200. Ask each provider for an example close to your own numbers, ideally in a similar Irish venue or city.
Logistics ownership
Find out exactly who is responsible for venue sourcing, catering coordination and running the day itself. This is often where the real difference between providers shows up, more than the activity itself.
Wet-weather planning
For any outdoor activity in Ireland, ask what the backup plan is before you book, not on the morning of the event.
Venue flexibility
Some providers are tied to specific locations or venues. If you already have a venue booked, or want the event run at your own office, confirm upfront that this is possible.
Evidence, not just claims
Ask for a reference or example from a similarly sized company, rather than taking group size and delivery claims at face value.
