Shop by booth size
Pick a size to see what fits on it. We match you only with builders who list that size in their own work.
Typical layout
Island height limits are set by each show. Check your exhibitor manual.
Your booth type comes from where the space sits on the floor plan. It decides how tall you can build and how many aisles you face. Your show's exhibitor manual has the final word.
One open side, neighbours left, right and behind.
Two open sides on a row end, more passing traffic.
Three open sides, a back wall on the fourth.
Open on all four sides, the tallest builds.
Solid edge: wall or neighbour. Dashed edge: open to the aisle.
Not sure which size or layout fits?
Send your floor plan. Builders who build that size every season will tell you what fits your space and budget, before you commit to anything.
Shop by convention center
Every hall has its own labor rules, rigging and move-in schedule. Builders who have worked it already know them. Each card shows the rule that catches exhibitors out, with its source.

Questions
It depends on whether you rent or own, the graphics, flooring, shipping and venue labour. Every quote you get through Exhivo is itemised, so you can compare builders line by line.
Start from your floor plan: the show assigns the space. As a guide, a 10×10 ft suits two staff and a single message, while a 20×20 ft island gives you four open sides, storage and room for demos.
Each show sets its own height limits by booth type. Inline back walls are the lowest and islands the tallest, and your exhibitor manual has the final word.
Each venue has its own labour rules. Builders who have worked the hall plan for them and include install and dismantle in their quote.
Renting suits one or two shows a year. Owning pays off when you exhibit often and want the same structure every time. Ask for both in your brief and compare.
No. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation to book any of them.
Yes. Every profile shows photos from the builder's own portfolio, its Google rating and the brands it lists as clients.
Yes, for exhibitors. Builders pay a fee only when they win a project.
For booth builders
Exhibitors brief the sizes and halls they need. If you build them, the brief comes to you. No ads, no fee per lead.
