Thanks SadMax, that was informative. Building a flat is the easy part though... moving and storing are the hard part ;)

Build 'em cheap and flimsy and junk them at the end of shooting. Storage costs are not worthwhile unless you have a series of shoots planned to extract the value invested in storage, rather than build fresh pieces as you need them...
...or unless you have a *lot* of unused storage space.
As for moving them...rent a truck..

Tsk, tsk Max... while the rest of the World is trying to go Green, you are suggesting tossing materials that can be recycled for other productions? Bad Max!

Sometimes 'Green' means saving the green that's in your pocket.

In Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, etc, yes. Look up 'scenery rentals.'

Hmm... with Full Sail being close by, it might be a good idea to open one here in Orlando too.
