Layout plans
Top-down plans drawn to scale. Pick the one you like and builders quote that layout.
Plans illustrate common layouts, not a builder's design. Your show's rules on height and sight lines apply.
Planning this size
At 1,200 square feet, plan the booth like a small building: meeting rooms, storage, a hospitality area and a stage, with clear routes between them. Double decks need show approval and engineering sign-off, so start early.
Only builders with large-island experience list this size. A 30×40 rental is a common choice for exhibitors who show at this scale once or twice a year.
What it costs
Every quote is built from the same lines. Some are paid once, some at every show. Ask each builder to price every line separately so you can compare like for like.
