Insideout are experienced exhibition stand builders with a HQ situated in the heart of the Midlands, just a short 20-minute drive from the NEC and with easy access to all venues nationwide. We have dedicated teams to build your bespoke items, decorating teams that paint and laminate these once made, and even people responsible for stripping and rewrapping walls so they are clean for each event.
How is an Exhibition Stand Built?
There are many ways to build an exhibition stand. The most common way is to use a modular system where the stands are assembled from pre-fabricated components. This is done with or without the use of tools, depending on how big the exhibition stand will be and how much time you have available for construction.
When it comes to our exhibit installation services, we always start from the bottom upwards, ensuring the floor space is the correct size.
Step 1: Fitting the essentials
We establish where cables will be required and start building the stand to accommodate this beginning with the floor. The walls are next to go up, along with a hanging banner if included in the design.
Step 2: Securing stock
We would then prioritise fitting any lockable features so clients can store away products that could otherwise be stolen overnight between build days which is an alarmingly regular occurrence.
Step 3: Finishing touches
Then, the fun bit – adding graphics, AV, stand lighting, furniture, and accessibility to any cables is ensured. Finally, we clean, talk it through with the client, and sign off once satisfied.
How Long Does Exhibition Stand Build Take?
This question is a bit like asking ‘how long is a piece of string’ because it all depends on how many days you have to install. If you have one day to build, then your stand design should reflect this as it will need to be a lot simpler than if we had two to three days or five to six days to build.
The majority of shows put on in the UK have a two to three-day installation so we will have a sizeable team to build your stand in that time. If it is a Europe-based show with five to six days to build, we would usually have more than one client/stand at that show so we would install two or even three stands throughout that time.
This is why we would always recommend utilising a service, like ours, that provides a dedicated events project manager to help guide you through the process from design to build.
Why Are Our Stand Builders Different?
Our team functions like clockwork; all the cogs fit together seamlessly. It is important to us that we have these teams and processes in place to ensure you get the highest quality and most seamless experience when you choose Insideout. Once your design has been created, packed with any additional extras, and transported to the destination, our events project manager will then oversee the exhibition stand installation and get sign-off from you, the client once you’re completely satisfied. When the show ends, we will dismantle and bring the stand back to our HQ in Redditch where we can store the stand or it will be disposed of unless otherwise specified.

FAQs
Do we need to be on-site for the stand installation?
No, although it is always best for you to arrive early in the afternoon on the last day of the build so that we can help you with positioning your products/testing your content on the screens. We also like to confirm that you are happy with everything on the stand before we leave the site.
How do we organise the installation?
You can leave the majority of that to us. The only thing you need to worry about is establishing your budget and brief for the stand and getting yourself and your products to the show.
Can you build a stand we already have?
We do not tend to build stands that have already been made by another company as every business has their own way of producing exhibition stands. Instead, we would recommend speaking with our team to produce a new custom event stand that we can manage and build for you.
