Stand installation and dismantling

Installation and dismantling (I&D) is the on-site work of building a stand in the hall during build-up and removing it after the show. If you already own a stand or have it fabricated elsewhere, a local I&D crew saves you flying a team in. StandsZone Global lists builders that offer installation in each exhibition country.

98 builders offering on-site installation across 27 countries on StandsZone Global.

    The stand is assembled, inspected and handed over before opening.

Frequently asked questions

Why use a local installation crew?

A crew based near the venue avoids travel costs and usually knows local labour rules, union or venue requirements, and the contractors you will need to work with.

Can a crew install a stand built by another company?

Yes. Provide clear drawings and an inventory; experienced crews regularly install stands they did not fabricate.

What happens if build-up runs late?

Organisers set strict deadlines and may charge for overtime. Agree crew size and contingency time with the builder in advance.
