The short answer
Planning and project management can be delivered remotely anywhere in Malaysia. On-site support and travel can be arranged anywhere in Malaysia when needed, subject to availability, project requirements, agreed scope and costs. Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Seremban are where we work most.
Whether a project lead attends on site, on which days and for what purpose is agreed in writing for each brief. If your event is elsewhere in Malaysia, send the brief: planning can be done remotely, and on-site support can be arranged for the days that need it.
Our main areas, and Putrajaya
- Kuala Lumpur: see Kuala Lumpur support.
- Selangor: see Selangor support.
- Seremban area including Nilai: see Seremban and Nilai support.
- Putrajaya: see Putrajaya support, or use the delegate-origin comparator to weigh it as a place delegates travel from.
How on-site attendance is agreed
On-site presence is part of the written scope. The scope states which days a project lead attends, what the lead does on those days and who the lead reports to.
Common agreed purposes are a venue walk-through, a supplier briefing, a run-through before the event and presence during the event. Each is a separate decision, and a brief can include some and leave out others.
How travel is handled
Travel and accommodation are charged when they are part of the agreed scope. They are discussed per brief and written into the scope or quotation before work starts, because they depend on where the work is and how often a lead needs to attend.
Ask for travel to be shown as its own line, so your finance reader can see it separately from the fee. The fees and quotation page explains what a quotation should state.
Elsewhere in Malaysia
Most of the planning and project management for an event elsewhere in Malaysia is done through documents and remote meetings. On-site support and travel can be arranged for the days that need them, subject to availability, agreed scope and costs. How much on-site presence the event really needs, and what travel adds, is settled with you for each brief.
For the wider picture, read the Malaysia-wide page. For a specific place, see Putrajaya, Penang, Johor, Melaka, Perak, Pahang, Kedah and Perlis, Kelantan, Terengganu, Sabah, Sarawak, Labuan, Negeri Sembilan.
Questions to settle before you approve a scope
- Which on-site days are included and which are optional?
- What does the lead do on site, and what stays with the venue and suppliers?
- How is travel shown in the quotation?
- What happens if the event dates or venue change?
- Who on your side is the contact on the day?
Worked example · Fictional example
A fictional enquiry from another state
Fictional organisation and figures, for illustration only.
A fictional engineering society based in another state plans a one-day forum in a venue in Selangor. Its secretary sends a brief that lists the venue, the date and three open decisions.
The assessment finds that planning, supplier requirements and the decision log can run remotely. It proposes two on-site days, one for the venue walk-through and one for the event, and shows travel as a separate line for the society's committee to approve.
Use this yourself
On-site and travel agreement checklist
Fill this in with the project lead before you approve the scope.
- Event location, and whether on-site support and travel need to be arranged:
- On-site days proposed, with the purpose of each day:
- Days when the lead is not on site, and who answers on-site questions instead:
- Travel and related costs: shown as a separate line, basis stated:
- What triggers a change in on-site days (date change, programme change, new venue):
- Client contact on the day, with a named alternate:
- Remote working arrangements: shared files, meeting rhythm, decision log:
Handle it in-house, or bring in help?
Your team can usually handle this when
- Your venue and suppliers are local to your team and your team can be present throughout.
- You need only a template, not coordination.
- The event is small enough for one person to hold the plan.
Outside planning help earns its fee when
- Your team cannot be on site at the venue walk-through or on the day.
- You want one person to carry the plan between suppliers while your committee decides.
- You are comparing locations in the region and need the options set out on the same basis.
Where is your event?
Send the venue, the date and what is still open. A project lead can confirm fit, propose which on-site days are worth having and write travel into the scope as its own line. If the event is elsewhere in Malaysia, the reply says what can be done remotely and what on-site support and travel would involve.
Questions organisers ask
Does the area include Putrajaya?
Yes, send the brief and we will confirm the arrangement for that event. The comparator also helps you weigh Putrajaya as a place delegates travel from.
How is on-site attendance decided?
It is agreed per brief and written into the scope, with the purpose of each on-site day.
How are travel costs handled?
Travel is quoted per brief and shown as its own line.
Can work be done remotely?
Much of the planning, supplier requirements and decision tracking can be done remotely, for an event anywhere in Malaysia.
