Turnkey Messe Solutions
Design, fabrication, AV, furniture, logistics, hostesses and dismantling — a single contract for your entire trade fair participation.
What's included
Our turnkey messe solutions service
Design, fabrication, AV, furniture, logistics, hostesses and dismantling — a single contract for your entire trade fair participation. What you receive is a single owner for design, build, AV, furniture, logistics and manpower. A single schedule with named owners per element means a slip in one area is visible days before it reaches the stand, not on build-up morning.
We group turnkey messe solutions with pavilion design, country pavilions, mall activations because they share a workshop, a crew and a schedule. Bundling them removes the gaps where multi-vendor projects usually fail.
- Single point of contact
- Design, build, AV and furniture
- Logistics and storage
- Post-show reporting
Price guide: Package pricing per show.
How turnkey messe solutions works
01
Single brief, single owner
You brief one person, who owns every element. The saving is not really money; it is the hours your team would otherwise spend making five vendors agree on a schedule.
02
Costed plan before commitment
The plan comes first: every element costed on its own line, every date fixed, so you can cut scope deliberately instead of discovering overruns later.
03
Parallel production
Build, print, AV prep and transport run simultaneously against a single critical path, with one person tracking what depends on what.
04
On-site delivery and wrap
The same manager runs build-up, show-day support and dismantle, then closes out with the organiser so no deposit or penalty is left hanging.
The manager on site can make decisions rather than relay them, which is what keeps a multi-vendor scope moving.
Who this is for
Turnkey messe solutions suits brands exhibiting at several shows a year, running a pavilion with co-exhibitors, or working with a small internal events team. The value is not a discount; it is that one person owns the schedule and one invoice explains it.
What turnkey messe solutions costs
Package pricing per show. Beyond that headline, the variables that actually move a turnkey messe solutions quote are total scope and how many elements are bundled, stall or venue area, number of show days and cities and finish level across the build. Ask for the quote itemised against those lines and two vendors become genuinely comparable.
Cost drivers
- total scope and how many elements are bundled

- organiser and venue charges
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 custom and system stall construction, AV, lighting and screens, furniture, flooring and soft furnishings and print, signage and wayfinding, with storage and reusable modular frames and crew, hostess and technical manpower 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.
