The Short Answer

A Booth Is a Three-Day Storefront. Build It Like One.

An exhibition booth in Singapore costs S$2,500–S$80,000+ depending on size and build. Shell scheme upgrades for a standard 9sqm booth run S$2,500–6,000; custom builds run S$400–800 per sqm, putting an 18sqm booth at S$12,000–25,000 and a 36–54sqm island booth at S$30,000–60,000. Allow 8–12 weeks from brief to show. Turnkey means design, approvals, build, install, teardown and storage — one contractor.

At a trade show, your booth is doing one job: converting passing foot traffic into conversations. The booths that fail are the ones that look like everyone else’s — a shell scheme with a roller banner, two staff on phones, zero stopping power. The booths that win are designed backwards from the interaction: a reason to stop, a place to talk, a brand people remember.

As an exhibition booth contractor in Singapore, we handle the full stack: design and 3D renders, technical drawings, organiser and venue approvals, fabrication, installation inside the build-up window, on-call show support, teardown and storage. You hand us a brief; we hand you a finished booth, ready before the doors open.

We build at Singapore Expo, MBS and Suntec — and for clients exhibiting regionally, we manage builds at overseas shows through vetted local partners.

The Process

From Brief to Build-Up in Eight Weeks

  • Brief & concept — objectives, booth size, show rules; concept sketches within a week
  • 3D renders — photorealistic renders so you approve the booth before a single panel is cut
  • Technical drawings & approvals — structural drawings, organiser submission, venue compliance — handled by us
  • Fabrication — built in our partner workshop, pre-assembled and QC’d before it ships to the venue
  • Installation — erected inside the organiser’s build-up window, graphics applied, AV and lighting commissioned
  • Show support & teardown — on-call during show days; dismantled, removed and stored after

What moves the price: size first, then build complexity (curved structures, double decks, hanging rigs cost more), AV and lighting spec, and graphics area. Reuse changes the maths completely — a modular booth amortised over three shows often costs less per show than three shell upgrades. Exhibiting is also one part of a wider play: clients often pair the booth with MICE programme support or an off-floor launch event.

FAQ

Exhibition Booth Questions, Answered

How much does an exhibition booth cost in Singapore?
An exhibition booth in Singapore costs S$2,500–S$80,000+ depending on size and build. A shell scheme upgrade (graphics, counters, lighting) for a standard 9sqm booth runs S$2,500–6,000. Custom builds run S$400–800 per sqm — an 18sqm custom booth lands at S$12,000–25,000, a 36–54sqm island booth at S$30,000–60,000, and large double-decker or pavilion builds beyond S$80,000.
What is the difference between a shell scheme booth and a custom booth?
A shell scheme is the organiser’s standard package: walls, fascia name, carpet, basic lighting and a power point — functional but identical to every other booth on the row. A custom booth is designed and built from scratch to your brand: structure, lighting, AV, meeting rooms and storage. The middle path is a shell scheme upgrade — keeping the organiser’s frame but cladding it with custom graphics, counters and lighting for a fraction of custom cost.
How long does it take to design and build a booth?
Allow 8–12 weeks from brief to show for a custom booth: 1–2 weeks for concept and 3D renders, 2–3 for technical drawings and organiser approval, 4–6 for fabrication, then 1–3 days for on-site installation during the show’s build-up window. Shell scheme upgrades compress to 4–6 weeks. Show organisers have hard submission deadlines — miss them and approvals get painful.
Which venues in Singapore do you build at?
We build at all major Singapore exhibition venues: Singapore Expo (the largest halls), Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Suntec Singapore, and Sands Expo ballrooms — plus regional shows when clients exhibit abroad. Each venue has its own build rules, height limits, rigging points and contractor accreditation, all of which we handle.
Do you handle installation, dismantling and storage?
Yes — turnkey means turnkey: fabrication, transport, installation inside the organiser’s build-up window, on-call support during show days, dismantling and removal during teardown (venues fine late teardown), and storage of reusable elements between shows. Clients who exhibit 2+ times a year typically save 30–40% on subsequent builds by reusing their structure.
Can you also manage our presence at the show, not just the booth?
Yes — many clients extend beyond the build: booth staffing and promoters, lead capture systems, meeting scheduling, hospitality and catering, and off-floor activities like launch moments or evening receptions. Through our wider event team, the booth becomes one part of a show programme rather than a standalone expense.
