Before you brief anyone
Shell scheme, modular or custom exhibition stands
This first decision sets the budget more than any choice after it. There are three honest options and each suits a different situation.
Shell scheme
The booth the organiser rents you: walls, a fascia board with your name, a light, a socket. Cheap, fast, and identical to the forty booths around it. For a first appearance at a small trade show it is a reasonable way to test whether the audience is yours at all.
Modular systems
Reusable frames dressed with printed graphics. They pack into cases, travel well, and go up in hours. If you exhibit four or five times a year in similar footprints, a modular system pays for itself somewhere around the third show.
Custom exhibition stands
Built for one brand and one space. Ceiling heights, a second floor, a demo kitchen, a hidden storeroom, seating that survives four days of traffic — none of that is available off a rack. This is what we build most.
Your position in the hall
Four kinds of space, four different designs
Exhibition stands are shaped by the space they sit in, and the most common mistake we see is a linear design dropped into a corner, or the reverse. The rule of thumb: the more open sides, the less wall you have — and wall is where graphics and storage live.
Inline
One open face, neighbours on both sides and behind. Everything goes into the frontage and the back wall, because that is all anyone sees. The fight for attention happens in the top metre and a half, not at floor level.
Corner
Two open faces, and the best value in most shows: roughly double the exposure for a small premium. The common error is designing it like an inline booth and walling off one of the open sides.
Peninsula
Three open faces and one back wall. Needs finishing on three sides and a layout that works from any approach. Storage goes in the back wall, because it is the only place left.
Island
Open on four sides with nothing to hide behind. The most expensive and the most effective, and it needs a ceiling answer — an island stand without one looks unfinished however good the finish is.

Budget
What actually determines the price
Exhibitors are often quoted a number for their exhibition stands with no explanation, then surprised by the second one. These are the things that genuinely move the cost, roughly in order of weight.
| Driver | Why it moves the number |
|---|---|
| Floor area | Not linear. Doubling the space more than doubles the build, because bigger footprints bring structural requirements smaller ones avoid. |
| Height and levels | Anything above the standard limit needs engineering drawings and organiser approval. A second storey can add half the cost of the stand again. |
| Open sides | A corner, peninsula or island stand needs finished treatment on every visible face — three or four times the surface a linear booth needs. |
| Materials and finish | Laminate, spray-painted MDF, real veneer and solid surface sit at very different price points for the same shape. |
| Screens and lighting | LED walls, video screens and lightbox graphics carry rental, rigging and power costs beyond the panel itself. |
| Storage and back-of-house | A locked store for stock and bags is space you pay for and cannot sell from — and skipping it is the mistake exhibitors regret by day two. |
| Install and dismantle | Overnight build-up windows, venue labour rules and same-night teardown all carry premiums. |
| Reusability | Building to be rebuilt costs more up front and much less from the second show onward. |
Because we fabricate in our own Jeddah workshop rather than subcontracting, a change to materials mid-build is a conversation rather than a change order. That is where most of the unpleasant surprises in this industry come from.

The schedule
How long custom exhibition stands actually take
Mid-size custom exhibition stands run three to five weeks from approved design to handover. Rushing is possible and we have done it, but the compression always lands somewhere — usually in finishing, sometimes in overtime.
Brief and measure
Floor plan, stand number, open sides, ceiling height, what has to happen on the stand, and what the organiser allows. Ten questions now are cheaper than a redraw later.
3D design
Photorealistic views before anything is cut. This is the stage to move walls — not week four, when the walls exist.
Materials and approvals
Finishes confirmed and drawings submitted to the organiser wherever height or structure requires it.
Fabrication
CNC routing, laser cutting, carpentry, metalwork, spray finishing and print — all of it in our own workshop.
Dry build
The stand is assembled in the workshop and inspected on the floor rather than in photographs. Problems found here are cheap; problems found in the hall are not.
Install and hand over
The crew travels with the build and assembles inside the organiser's window, then stays reachable for the run of the show.

Regulations
What the organiser will check
Most exhibitors meet these rules for the first time in the form pack, two weeks before the show. Knowing them earlier changes what you design.
- Height limits. Venues set a standard maximum for stand and signage, with a separate approval path above it. Ask for the number before the design, not after.
- Structural sign-off. Double-deckers, heavy rigging and anything suspended usually require stamped drawings and sometimes a third-party check.
- Fire and materials. Fabrics and boards may need fire-retardant certification. Certificates are requested on site, so they travel with the crew.
- Power and load. Ordered in advance, priced by the organiser, and rarely enough if you added a coffee machine late.
- Rigging points. Hanging anything from the ceiling is a separate order with its own deadline, and the deadline is earlier than you expect.
- Build-up and teardown windows. Fixed hours. Missing your slot means paying for the next one, if there is one.
- Neighbour rules. Solid walls facing a neighbour often need finishing on their side too — a cost people forget on corner stands.
Countdown
An exhibitor's plan, week by week
The schedule we hand every client at the brief, whether or not we are the ones building the stand.
8 weeks out
Space booked and stand number confirmed. Brief agreed: what the stand must do, how many people work it, whether anything is demonstrated, cooked or sampled.
4 weeks out
Design approved and frozen. Materials confirmed. Organiser forms submitted. Graphics and copy finalised — text changes after this cost print, not just time.
2 weeks out
Fabrication well advanced. Staff briefed on the product, not just the schedule. Giveaways and samples counted. Certificates collected for the site file.
Build week
Crew and stand travel together. Dry build already signed off, so on-site time goes to installation rather than problem-solving. Power tested with everything on at once.
Show days
Stock replenished daily, screens checked each morning, and someone recording the questions visitors actually ask. That habit is worth more than the lead count.
Teardown
Down inside the organiser's window, then stored for the next show or stripped. Which of the two should have been decided at the design stage.
By sector
Exhibition stands by what the brand needs
The same floor area produces very different exhibition stands depending on what has to happen inside it. A few patterns come up again and again in the Saudi market.
Food and beverage
Sampling changes everything. Exhibition stands serving food need a clean preparation zone, water where the venue allows it, a bin nobody can see, and a queue that does not spill into the aisle. Surfaces have to survive being wiped forty times a day.
Technology and telecoms
Screens dominate, so the real design work is hiding cable runs and giving each demo enough space that two visitors are not standing shoulder to shoulder. These stands almost always under-order power at first pass.
Healthcare and pharma
Materials must be easy to clean and compliance copy is usually fixed word for word, so the layout is built around text that cannot be shortened. Private consultation corners matter more than open counters.
Automotive and heavy equipment
Floor loading and access come first. A vehicle on the stand means checking the hall's load limit, the route in, and the build sequence — the car often arrives before the stand is finished.
Government and semi-government
Brand guidelines are followed to the letter and approvals take longer, so timelines start earlier. Exhibition stands here are judged on protocol as much as impact: seating for delegations and exact signage.
Retail and consumer brands
The job is footfall. Open corners, a clear sightline to the product, and lighting that makes packaging read from six metres. These exhibition stands live or die on the first three seconds of attention.
What goes wrong
Mistakes we see every season
None of these are unusual, and we see all of them every season. All are avoidable while exhibition stands are still on paper, and expensive once they are not.
- Designing for the photograph. A stand that looks good empty and blocks flow when thirty people arrive has failed at the only moment that counted.
- No storage. Boxes end up under the counter, then in the aisle, then in every photograph of your brand.
- Graphics at eye level only. From across a hall, only the top metre and a half is visible. That is where the name belongs.
- Under-ordering power. Screens, lighting, a fridge and a coffee machine add up faster than expected, and on-site upgrades are the most expensive electricity you will ever buy.
- Untrained staff. The best exhibition stands in the hall, staffed by people who cannot answer a question, are expensive backdrops.
- Leaving it too late. Four weeks buys a considered stand. Ten days buys whatever can be finished in ten days.
In short
Six decisions that settle how the stand turns out
If you read nothing else on this page, these are the six choices that decide how exhibition stands turn out, in the order you will face them.
- Pick the type first — shell scheme, modular or custom exhibition stands. It sets the budget more than any decision after it.
- Know your position in the hall before designing. A corner is not a linear booth, and an island needs a ceiling answer.
- Ask for the height limit, the rigging deadline and the power tariff early, not when the form pack arrives.
- Give storage its own space at the design stage. Exhibition stands without it end up with boxes in every photograph.
- Start eight weeks out. Four weeks buys a considered stand; ten days buys whatever can be finished in ten days.
- Decide the stand's afterlife before it is drawn: one show, or a modular build that comes back to the next one.
