From drawing to install
Design and build covers everything that gets made in the workshop and then put up somewhere. A stand at a trade show, a stage set for a conference, an activation in a shopping centre, a retail installation that has to go in overnight.
The work is different every time, but the process is not. We take the concept, engineer it so it actually stands up, build it here, and install it on site with our own team.
Because it all happens in one building, we can prototype early, test mechanisms before they leave, and change things without waiting on a third party.
It also means one point of contact. You are not managing a designer, a fabricator and an install crew separately and hoping they talk to each other.
Why we are good at this
We are makers first. Everything is drawn with the build in mind, so what gets designed is what actually gets made, rather than a nice visual that falls apart the moment somebody has to cost it.
We have built for trade shows, festivals, shopping centres, conference stages and retail windows. Different rules, different rigging, different install windows. We build accordingly.
A lot of workshops can make you a box with graphics on it. The jobs worth doing usually need more than that, and that is where having joiners, CNC, spray and install under one roof starts to matter.
When the job is over we can store it, refurbish it and adapt it for the next one. Most clients get several outings out of the same build, with tweaks for each venue.

Questions we get asked a lot
Design and build is the whole job: concept, engineering, manufacture and install. Fabrication services are for when you already know what you want made and just need it making, or you need one specific process like CNC routing or spraying.
Yes, and a lot of our work arrives that way. Send us the visuals and we will tell you what is buildable, what needs rethinking and roughly what it costs before anyone commits to anything.
That is fine. Plenty of projects start as a sketch, a reference photo or a conversation. We will work it up into drawings you can actually sign off.
Yes, with our own team. We would rather install our own work than hand it over to a crew who have never seen it before.
Usually. We can store it, refurbish it and adapt it for the next event. Most clients get several events out of the same build.
Yes. Product launches and campaign work often need it, and it is never a problem.
