For a custom stand or a sizeable activation, six to ten weeks gives us room to design properly, fabricate without rushing and plan the install. Museum sets and permanent interiors usually want longer because of approvals and finishing. That said, we hold a little workshop capacity for short-notice briefs, so even a tight timeline is worth a message — you will get a candid answer on whether we can do it justice rather than a yes that quietly cuts corners.

Both, and that is the whole reason the studio exists in this shape. We design in our Tai Seng studio and fabricate on our own Kallang floor, and our crew installs and strikes on-site. Design-only is an option too — a concept and drawing set you take to tender — but most clients want one team owning the idea, the build and the install, because that is where the detail and the deadline actually hold together.

It depends on footprint, complexity and what you fit out — a compact modular stand sits in the low five figures, while an island build, a museum set or a large activation runs well beyond it. The Exhibition Build Estimator on this site turns your size, build complexity and fit-out elements into an honest indicative budget band in seconds. Treat it as a starting range; your firm figure comes after we understand the brief and is always confirmed in writing before any commitment.

Yes, and we actively recommend it for anyone exhibiting more than twice a year. We design modular systems that reconfigure between footprints — say a 18 m² in-line and a 48 m² corner — then store, maintain and re-dress them between shows. The per-show cost compounds across your calendar instead of repeating, which usually pays for the smarter design within a couple of events.

We do, and we have built for clients across the regional circuit, from KLCC and BITEC to HKCEC and the Dubai halls. We plan the freight, the local contractor coordination, the venue submissions and the on-site reality so an overseas show is managed rather than improvised. Where it makes more sense, we design here and partner with a vetted local build team to fabricate to our drawings under our supervision.

We do, as part of a design-and-build engagement. Contractor submissions, rigging sign-off, electrical loads, height and fire-safety compliance for halls like Singapore Expo and Marina Bay Sands are built into our scope, never an afterthought we hand back to you. We have done enough shows to know each venue’s rules, and we fold the submission timeline into the project from day one.

Absolutely. On events we often build the spatial set while your production company runs AV, lighting and show-calling, and we coordinate the physical-to-technical handover so nobody is waiting on anybody. On permanent interiors we can lead the full fit-out or take just the feature and brand-experience elements while your main contractor handles base build. We are comfortable either leading or slotting in.

For temporary work we strike it cleanly and, where parts are reusable, store and maintain them for your next show rather than sending everything to landfill. We give you a frank view on which elements are worth keeping and which are not. For sustainability-minded clients we lean into modular, demountable design from the outset, so far less gets thrown away across a year of exhibiting.

A signed scope and a deposit secure your project and your workshop slot, with the balance staged against design sign-off, fabrication and install milestones — all itemised, all in SGD, with PayNow accepted. Nothing is added after the fact: any change in scope is quoted and agreed in writing before we proceed, so the figure and the timing are clear to you at every milestone.
