Exhibition Stand Design & Build

Learn and Discover

Our exhibition stand designers create and build exhibition stands that help brands stand out for all the right reasons. From first sketches to final fix, our exhibition stand design and build service turns space into a working expression of your brand. It combines thoughtful design, practical fabrication and on-site installation to deliver stands that draw people in, start conversations and support your commercial goals.

Bespoke Design

Our exhibition stand designers shape every concept around your brand and commercial goals. From sightlines and visitor flow to finishes, lighting and product presentation, we consider how people will interact with the space. The result is tailored unique, purposeful and unmistakably yours.

Exhibition Stand Design and Build

We handle the full process in-house. Technical drawings, structural planning, fabrication, graphics, logistics and installation are all managed by our team, ensuring consistency and control at every stage. Your stand arrives on time, built with care and ready to perform.

Modular Systems for Reuse

If you exhibit at more than one show, a modular approach offers both flexibility and efficiency. Our designers plan systems that can adapt to changing footprints, audiences and campaigns, reducing waste while protecting long-term budgets. Configurable components mean your stand can evolve without starting from scratch.

On-Site Support, Dismantle & Storage

From build-up passes and delivery windows to final handover, we manage the practical demands that sit behind every event. After the show, we dismantle safely, assess components and store items for future reuse. It’s seamless support that keeps your exhibition activity simpler, greener and more cost effective.

Plan and Design

Effective exhibition stand design starts with clarity. We take time to understand your objectives, audience, products and the role your stand needs to play. From footprint and height restrictions to power feeds, storage and demonstration areas, every decision is guided by function as well as form. Our designers develop layouts that support natural visitor flow, create space for meaningful conversations and ensure your messaging lands with impact. With detailed planning, 3D visuals and considered materials, your stand moves from concept to build with confidence and precision.

Technical Detailing

Once the design is approved, we prepare the technical drawings and specifications that guide every build decision. Structural integrity, load-bearing calculations, fire ratings, electrical layout, data points and AV integration are all mapped with care. Working to UK exhibition standards and venue regulations, we ensure your stand is safe, compliant and ready for sign-off without stress.

Materials and Finishes

Finish quality says a great deal about your brand. We help you select materials that balance durability, aesthetics and sustainability, whether that’s timber, aluminium systems, recycled substrates or tension-fabric walls. Our exhibition stand designers work with real samples and supplier proofs to ensure colours, textures and details feel exactly right when experienced up close.

Graphics and Messaging

Clear communication is one of the most important parts of any exhibition. We plan graphic zones that support sightlines, storytelling and hierarchy, helping visitors understand who you are and what you offer within seconds. From typography and colour accuracy to content placement and lighting contrast, each element is designed to work hard in a busy event environment.

Interactive Touchpoints

Engagement matters. We look at how your stand encourages interaction: product displays, demo counters, hospitality areas, digital content, seating and storage. Our design approach considers how people move, pause and connect, ensuring your design supports meaningful conversations and leaves a lasting impression long after the event has ended.

“The team took care of everything from design, logistics to build of the stand, going above and beyond to deliver within timescales and budget. Nothing was too much for them and their professional, knowledgeable, creative and friendly team made the whole process a lot less stressful.”

Installation

Once the design is signed off, we handle the full build and installation of your exhibition stand. Materials are manufactured and finished in our workshop, checked for accuracy, fit and quality, then safely transported to the venue. Our project managers and stand designers work closely with our build teams crews to ensure every detail is assembled exactly as planned. We manage access timings, RAMS documentation, CDM responsibilities and venue-specific regulations, so the installation runs smoothly. On site, we build cleanly, cable neatly, test lighting and AV, and hand over only when everything is ready for your team to step in with confidence.

On-Site Support

During the event, our team of designers are on hand to help with any adjustments, technical checks or last-minute refinements. From AV calibration to graphic alignment and cable management, we ensure your exhibition stand performs exactly as intended. If something needs fixing, improving or enhancing, we’re close by and ready to act.

Health, Safety and Compliance

From RAMS and CDM duties to venue sign-off, our team are Safe Contractor Accredited and Safe PQQ verified whilst workings within recognised UK standards to ensure a safe and compliant build. Materials, electrics and structural integrity are all checked and documented. It means fewer delays during install and complete peace of mind throughout the show.

Dismantle and Pack-Down

When the event closes, we handle dismantling carefully and efficiently. Every element is labelled, protected and organised for future reuse. Hardware, graphics and components are inspected and logged so nothing is misplaced, damaged or overlooked between exhibitions.

Storage and Re-Configuration

We offer secure storage and re-configuration for brands that exhibit regularly. Modular elements can be resized, re-skinned and re-oriented to suit new footprints, layouts or locations. It’s a practical approach that extends the lifespan of your stand, reduces waste and protects long-term budgets.

Maintain and Support

A well-built exhibition stand should continue to deliver value beyond the show floor. Our exhibition stand design and build service includes ongoing support to keep your structure in peak condition for future events. From repairs and re-skins to safe storage and reconfiguration, we help you extend the life of your investment. Whether you exhibit twice a year or have a rolling events programme, our team ensures your stand continues to perform, evolve and look its best with every installation.

Post-Show Review and Improvements

After each event, we complete a performance review that looks at layout, visitor flow, engagement and practical use on the day. Your feedback is built into future iterations, helping refine messaging, lighting, displays or storage where needed. This continuous improvement approach means your exhibition stand design becomes sharper and more effective with every outing.

Repairs, Refresh and Re-Skin

Brand campaigns change, messaging evolves and sometimes surfaces pick up wear during transit. We can refresh graphics, replace components or introduce new finishes without rebuilding from scratch. We inspect all elements during dismantle, recommend cost-efficient updates and keep the stand aligned with your latest brief and brand identity.

Storage, Handling and Asset Care

Every component is labelled, protected and stored correctly until it is needed again. We track hardware, graphics and accessories so nothing is lost between shows, and we manage transportation when it’s time for installation. If you exhibit at multiple venues across the UK or internationally, we coordinate logistics to ensure your stand arrives on site safely, on time and ready to build.

Reconfiguration for New Layouts

When your footprint changes, you don’t need a completely new stand. Modular structures allow us to adapt your layout for different venues, adjusting height, orientation or display areas to suit. Our methods make reconfiguration simple, sustainable and commercially efficient, ensuring the stand continues to fit your future schedule.

Can I reuse my exhibition stand?

Yes, Creative Spaces designs exhibition stands with longevity in mind. Many stands use modular systems and durable components that can be reconfigured for different events, sizes and layouts. We also offer storage, refurbishment and re-branding services to help you get the most value from your investment.

How much do exhibition stands cost?

Costs vary based on stand size, customisation level, materials, lighting, AV equipment, graphics, logistics and installation. After understanding your goals and constraints, we provide transparent, itemised quotations with options to suit different budgets.

What are the hidden costs of exhibition stands?

We believe in clear pricing. While our stand design and build costs are transparent, venues often charge separate fees for services such as electrical connections, internet, rigging, furniture rental or carpet. We highlight any venue-specific costs early so there are no surprises.

How do we attract visitors to our stand?

Attracting visitors involves a mix of engaging design, thoughtful layout, interactive elements and proactive staff engagement. Eye-catching visuals, product demos, clear branding and promotional activities all help draw traffic and keep people at your stand longer.

What should my stand include?

A successful stand balances brand presence with functionality. Essential elements often include clear signage, product display areas, demo zones, comfortable conversation spaces, storage, lighting that enhances your message and technology where needed.

Do you design stands for specific venues like ExCeL London or the NEC?

Yes. Creative Spaces regularly designs and builds stands for major UK venues including ExCeL London, the NEC Birmingham, and others, considering venue-specific requirements such as loading procedures, height restrictions and compliance.

Will my stand meet health and safety standards?

Yes. All our exhibition stands are designed and built to comply with UK health and safety standards, including correct structural planning, electrical safety, fire ratings and documentation ready for venue approval.
