FAQs

An exhibition design and build agency handles every stage of the stand, from initial brief through concept design, fabrication, install and dismantle. Creation handles and manages all of it in-house for a stress free experience for our clients.

First off, it is important to note that often you won't know. We design you a great exhibition stand that fits your budget and your needs. The materials behind the scenes are our expertise, you do not need to choose.

Custom exhibition stands are designed and built from scratch where the sky is the limit, using various materials to achieve more ambitious designs using such materials as timber, glass, plastics, metal, GRP etc.

Modular exhibition stands use reusable components that reconfigure for different venues and sizes. Modular stand booths are designed and built with sustainability at their core whilst ensuring they still look just as good as bespoke exhibition stands, just slightly more limited on what can structurally be achieved.

Whilst there are so many variables to consider, when we opt to use custom exhibition stand build methods, they range from £15,000 to £500,000+ depending on size and complexity. These are typically more expensive than the modular approach we use can which can achieve a more cost effective exhibition stand starting from £10,000 compared to shell scheme stands from £5,000. We take time to listen to your brief, and if you need a complex exhibition stand because of specific requirements, we will create something custom, whilst being conscious of your budget. Or at the other of the scale, you may want a custom double-deck exhibition stand which can vary between £150,000 all the way up to £500,000 or more for something off the scale!

Modular exhibition stands start from around £7,000, with the final price depending on stand size, design complexity, graphics and features such as lighting, counters and multimedia. Because the core structure is reused across shows, the cost per event falls significantly compared with building a new custom stand each time.

Exhibition stand design and build involves two key parts; the exhibition stand design, and the exhibition stand build. The time in between that is where exhibition stand project management takes place.

We always advise clients to start the process as far in advance as possible ensuring we can dive properly into your brand and your vision, create an outstanding exhibition stand design and allow the time to make any amendments that you need. We take care of all the venue and organiser deadlines, and the sooner we begin, the more efficient we can be.

Anything less than 8 weeks, the timeline has to be more compact. However we have built over 600sqm of exhibition stands at COP26 with just over 3 weeks’ notice! (please don’t aim for 3 week timelines!) Notwithstanding, we are experts in making big dreams come true with tight deadlines if you are last minute.

A summary guideline of realistic timings:

Modular Exhibition Stands: 1-3 months

Custom Exhibition Stands: 2-6 months

Complex Double-deck exhibition stands: 4-12 months.

Double-decker exhibition stands look amazing and stand you out from the crowd literally and metaphorically. We own our own double deck structure so that we can design and build double deck exhibition stands cost effectively and sustainably.
