Level 2 — Design
Studio design and project management
You know the studio needs to be done properly. You don't want to manage it yourself. Meros designs the studio, supplies the equipment and runs the project through to handover — so your team gets a working room without becoming studio experts first. Studio design and project management in Sydney, from $5,000 plus supply.
01 — What you get
A studio designed before anything is bought
Most studio mistakes are made at the purchasing stage, when equipment is chosen before the room is designed. Level 2 reverses that: the room is designed, rendered and costed first, and nothing is ordered until you've seen what you're getting.
3D renders of the finished studio
A few render options showing the finished room — layout, set, lighting positions and camera angles — so you can see the studio before it exists and decide between options with the result in front of you.
A priced equipment list
Every piece of equipment the room needs, chosen by what the studio has to produce rather than by brand, with pricing attached. You know the full cost before you commit, and what each item is there to do.
Project management through to handover
Meros coordinates supply, delivery and installation with your builder or fit-out team, keeps the project on track, and remains the single point of contact until the room is working.
02 — Who it's for
When Level 2 is the right fit
Level 2 suits businesses that already have a builder, fit-out team or facilities manager, and want a studio specialist running the studio side of the project.
It's the right level when the room is part of a larger fit-out, when your builder can handle construction but not production equipment, or when your organisation needs a designed, costed plan before a budget is approved.
If you'd rather hand over the whole project — design, supply, installation and training — that's Level 3, a full turnkey build. If you only need direction and a plan your own team can act on, that's Level 1 consulting.
03 — Equipment
Vendor-neutral equipment, supplied by Meros
Meros supplies the equipment for Level 2 projects, and specifies it by requirement rather than by brand. We work across the major lighting, camera and audio manufacturers, so the list is built around your room, your content and who operates it — not around a catalogue.
Every item on the list comes with a reason. If something isn't needed, it doesn't go on the list.
04 — How it runs
From first conversation to working studio
01 Brief
What the room needs to produce, how often, and who will run it — through the Studio Planner, a call, or a site visit in Sydney.
02 Design
3D renders and a priced equipment list, with options where the brief allows more than one good answer.
03 Supply and coordination
Equipment ordered and delivered, and installation coordinated with your builder or fit-out team.
04 Handover
The studio set up, checked and ready for the people who'll use it.

Studio design FAQs
What does Meros's studio design service include?
Meros's Level 2 studio design service includes 3D renders of the finished studio, a priced equipment list chosen by requirement rather than brand, equipment supply, and project management through to handover. It starts from $5,000 plus supply margin in Sydney.
Can Meros work with our own builder?
Yes. Level 2 is designed for exactly that: your builder or fit-out team handles construction, and Meros designs the studio, supplies the equipment and coordinates the studio side of the project.
Can we see the studio before we commit?
Yes. Every Level 2 project includes 3D renders of the finished room and a priced equipment list, so you can see the result and the full cost before anything is ordered.
What's the difference between Level 2 and Level 3?
Level 2 covers design, equipment supply and project management, with your own builder or team handling construction. Level 3 is a full turnkey build, where Meros also handles installation and training and hands over a finished, working studio.
