Timeline: Design to Execution

Design phase (1–2 weeks): briefing, concept proposals, 3D renders, revision loop.

Production phase (2–4 weeks): fabrication, printing, AV integration, QA.

On-site installation (2–3 days): build & staging; dismantling (1 day) post-event.

Average lead time: 4–6 weeks from RFQ to final booth. Tight deadlines increase costs and reduce revision cycles.

Decision Framework: Local Builder vs International Agency

Option Pros Cons Best For
Local Egyptian Builder Lower costs, fast turnaround, deep venue knowledge Portfolio may be limited for complex global concepts SMEs & mid-sized firms, repeat local shows
International Agency Premium creativity, global standards, multi-country rollouts Higher costs, longer timelines & logistics Multinationals, luxury brands, flagship events

Tip: shortlist at least three providers and request comparable scopes, materials specs, AV lists, and weekly reporting cadence.
