Total Concept designs, builds and installs modular and premium custom exhibition stands that make brands stand out. With our in-house design studio, workshop and build teams, we guide you from the first idea to final handover on the show floor.
This page gives you a complete overview of exhibition stand construction – from basic definitions to concrete cost drivers and frequently asked questions.
Exhibition stand construction is the design and build of temporary brand spaces at trade shows, events and expos. A stand is much more than “a nice booth”: it is your business card, meeting place and sales environment in one.
As a stand builder, Total Concept translates your brand, message and objectives into a physical stand that attracts visitors, flows logically and works practically for your team. We take into account organiser regulations, technical plans, fire safety and logistics.
Every exhibition stand requires a different approach. Sometimes a flexible modular solution is ideal; in other cases a fully bespoke stand with maximum impact is the right choice. Often a combination – a hybrid stand – works best.
Modular stand construction uses reusable systems, frames and panels that can be reconfigured and adapted to different floor spaces. Perfect for companies exhibiting at multiple shows per year or travelling with a consistent stand concept.
For brands that want to make a statement, a fully custom-made stand is the best option. Here we start from your brand identity, experience and storytelling.
In many projects we combine modular structures with custom elements. This way you benefit from the flexibility and cost efficiency of modular construction, while certain zones – for example hospitality or product presentation – receive extra luxury and experience.
Total Concept is based in the Antwerp region and active at trade shows across Belgium and the Netherlands. Our teams know the major venues inside out, which makes planning and logistics smoother.
We also deliver stands at international trade shows in other European countries, always with the same Total Concept quality and approach.
We believe in a clear, transparent process so you always know what to expect and what the next step will be.
The cost of an exhibition stand depends on several factors. We always work with a transparent estimate and tailored proposal so you are not faced with surprises.
Sustainability is no longer optional – it is expected. In stand construction this translates into smart choices in materials, systems and logistics. Total Concept considers the ecological footprint of your stand without compromising on experience.
Still have questions? Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about working with an exhibition stand builder.
It is the design and build of temporary brand spaces at trade shows and events. A stand builder takes care of all practical and technical aspects so your stand is safe, eye-catching and user-friendly.
A stand builder supports you from strategy and design through production, transport, build-up and dismantling. At Total Concept you have one main contact and dedicated teams for design, workshop and build.
No. We regularly build stands in the Netherlands and manage projects at international trade shows across Europe. Our experience with different venues means we know exactly what is required technically and logistically.
The final budget depends on size, type (modular or custom), materials, experience level and logistics. During a discovery call we review your plans and prepare a clear, tailored estimate.
Absolutely. With modular and hybrid concepts the same base structure can be deployed at multiple shows. Between events we adjust graphics, layout or certain elements so the stand always feels fresh and relevant.
Ideally four to six months before a key trade show. For smaller or modular projects the lead time can be shorter, but the earlier we start planning together, the more options you have in design, materials and logistics.
Whether you are planning a compact modular stand or a large premium custom build: Total Concept helps you get the maximum return from your next trade show. We think along on strategy, design, logistics and reuse.
