Brief to dismantle, in six stages
Every stand runs through the same six stages. Here’s what happens in each, and what lands in your inbox.
In 12 years we have not missed an opening day. The six stages below are how we’ve kept it that way.
P-06
01
Brief
Timing
Week 1–2
What happens
We talk through the show, the stand, the budget band and what visitors should do when they arrive. We read the organiser’s manual so you don’t have to.
What you get
A written brief to sign off, a hall-plan review, and a date for the proposal.
02
Proposal and design
Timing
Weeks 2–5
What happens
Our designers sketch, model and cost two or three directions. We pick one with you and develop it.
What you get
Concept sketches, 3D visuals from visitor eye height, a costed proposal, and two rounds of design changes.
03
Drawings and approvals
Timing
Weeks 5–8
What happens
The design becomes construction drawings. We send them to the organiser and handle their questions.
What you get
Construction drawings, a rigging plan if needed, a power and data plan, and a graphics deadline with templates at the right size.
04
Workshop build
Timing
Weeks 8–14
What happens
Cutting, joinery, paint, print and wiring in our workshop. Then the whole stand goes up on our trial floor.
What you get
Progress photos each week, an invitation to walk the trial build, and a signed-off stand before it’s packed.
05
Build-up and show days
Timing
Show week
What happens
Our crew builds the stand in the hall, snags it, cleans it and walks it with you before opening.
What you get
A named crew chief, the build-up crew, a handover the evening before doors, and a show-day technician on call for every open day.
06
Dismantle and storage
Timing
Close of show onward
What happens
We take it down, pack it, and bring it home. Anything reusable is checked, logged and racked.
What you get
Dismantle by our crew, a condition report, storage in a numbered bay, and a list of what can go to your next show.
