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.
