What's included
Our octanorm & system stalls service
Aluminium octanorm and maxima systems for shell-scheme upgrades, pavilions and budget-friendly participation. What you receive is a complete stand — structure, graphics, lighting and flooring — handed over ready to occupy. Nothing ships untested. Panels are trial-fitted, circuits loaded and finishes inspected before dispatch, and the crew travels with spares for the parts that get damaged in transit.
We group octanorm & system stalls with stall fabrication, custom exhibition booths, modular exhibition stalls because they share a workshop, a crew and a schedule. Bundling them removes the gaps where multi-vendor projects usually fail.
- Octanorm and maxima profiles
- Fascia names and graphics
- Furniture and lighting packages
- Ideal for pavilions and startups
Price guide: Economical packages for 9–18 sq.m booths.
How octanorm & system stalls works
01
Drawing release and material order
The drawing set becomes a cutting list, a print schedule and a lighting order, all raised together. One late delivery is what turns a comfortable build into a night shift.
02
Workshop build
The stand is built in our own workshops: CNC cutting, carpentry, metal fabrication, spray booth and wide-format print. No sub-contractor queue sits between one trade and the next.
03
Pre-assembly and quality check
The stall is assembled in the workshop before it ships. Panels are numbered, graphics are trial-fitted and the electricals are tested, so site work becomes assembly rather than problem-solving.
04
Install, handover and dismantle
Installation, handover, show-day support and dismantle are one scope with one crew — including clearing the stand inside the organiser's window so no penalty touches your deposit.
The same crew that pre-assembled the stall installs it, which is why an unfamiliar hall rarely costs us time.
Who this is for
Choose this when the stand has to match the approved visual, survive the full run of the show and be struck without drama. Splitting the build across three suppliers is where most of that goes wrong.
What octanorm & system stalls costs
Economical packages for 9–18 sq.m booths. Beyond that headline, the variables that actually move an octanorm & system stalls quote are stall area in sq.m, number of open sides and overall height, wood-and-laminate versus system construction and graphic area and print finish. Itemise the quote against those lines and the difference between two vendors stops being a mystery.
Cost drivers
- stall area in sq.m
- number of open sides and overall height
- wood-and-laminate versus system construction
- graphic area and print finish
- lighting count and LED or screen hire
- flooring type
- distance from workshop to venue
- build-up window and whether night shifts are needed
Stall sizes and lead times
The space plan below uses the same formula as our stall planner, so the numbers on this page and the numbers the tool gives you agree. Storage takes 10% of the area up to 18 sq.m and 15% above it, a meeting corner takes 5% unless you are hosting meetings, and the remainder is display.
Space, staffing and lead time by stall size
| Stall size | Footprint | Likely layout | Display | Staff | Visitors at once | Build weeks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 sq.m | 3 × 3 m | Inline or corner | 7.6 sq.m | 2 | 3 | 3 |
| 18 sq.m | 3 × 6 m | Inline or corner | 15.3 sq.m | 2 | 6 | 3 |
| 36 sq.m | 6 × 6 m | Corner or three-side open | 28.8 sq.m | 4 | 11 | 4 |
| 54 sq.m | 6 × 9 m | Corner or three-side open | 43.2 sq.m | 6 | 17 | 5 |
| 72 sq.m | 6 × 12 m | Three-side open or island | 57.6 sq.m | 8 | 23 | 5 |
| 100 sq.m | 10 × 10 m | Three-side open or island | 80 sq.m | 12 | 32 | 5 |
Materials and equipment
We work mainly in 18 mm and 12 mm MDF with laminate or spray finish, aluminium extrusion and octanorm systems, fire-retardant treated ply and tensioned fabric and vinyl graphics, with vinyl, carpet and raised wooden flooring and LED spots, track lights and backlit boxes specified where the design or the venue calls for it. Material choice is where cost and appearance meet: a fabric-tensioned graphic reads cleaner than a rigid printed panel and packs smaller, while a laminated joinery finish survives several shows where a painted one does not.

FAQ
Common questions
What does octanorm & system stalls cost?+
Economical packages for 9–18 sq.m booths. The variables that move the figure are stall area in sq.m, number of open sides and overall height, wood-and-laminate versus system construction and graphic area and print finish.
Do you offer octanorm & system stalls outside the metros?+
Yes. We cover 119 cities including every Tier 1 metro and more than a hundred Tier 2 exhibition cities, with crews working to the local organiser's schedule.
Is 3D design included?+
Yes, free with every confirmed fabrication order and revised until you approve it. Design-only projects are quoted per stall.
What do you need from me to start?+
Final stall area, open sides and the organiser's stand plan, approved design, or the brief for one, logos and graphics in print-ready form and the venue's build-up and dismantle timings.
Can you handle organiser approvals?+
Yes. Stall drawings, electrical load details and structural documents are prepared and submitted as the organiser requires, and designs are checked against height, rigging and fire rules first.
How do revisions work?+
Design revisions are free until you approve the concept. Once fabrication has started, changes are quoted against material already cut, which is why we hold sign-off until the plan is genuinely settled.
Is octanorm & system stalls available as a standalone scope?+
Yes. It can be bundled with a full stall build or delivered on its own alongside another contractor's structure, with the interface agreed in writing first.
Do you work with agencies and co-exhibitors?+
Yes. We work directly with brands, with event and creative agencies on white-label scopes, and with pavilion organisers coordinating multiple co-exhibitors under one structure.
