Bilbao trade fairs we design and build stands for
Why choose us for your exhibition stand at Bilbao Exhibition Centre?
We are an exhibition stand builder and contractor that designs, builds and installs in Bilbao with its own crew. This is what changes when the same team travels with your stand to Bilbao Exhibition Centre.
Pre-assembly before we travel
We put up the whole stand before it leaves for Bilbao and check it. At Bilbao Exhibition Centre we assemble what has already been tested, with nothing improvised.
No local subcontractors
The same team designs, builds, transports and installs. No handover to a local subcontractor halfway through, which is where the built stand drifts from the approved one.
Column-free pavilions
BEC's pavilions have not a single column: the plot is truly yours and the layout follows your brief, not the building.
Structures for real equipment
From BIEMH to Sinaval, stands here often carry machinery. The structure is calculated for that weight and built to measure.
Exhibiting at BEC?
Tell us the trade show, the square metres and the date. We come back with a 3D booth proposal and a fixed quote, with transport and installation in Bilbao.

How we design, build and install your exhibition stand for BEC
A single team coordinates the project and you talk to one person, from the first sketch to the dismantling. This is how we handle a stand for any Bilbao trade fair.
Exhibition stand design in Bilbao with a 3D proposal
We start from the equipment you will bring and its weight, so the demonstration is seen from the aisle. We send you the 3D stand design and the quote.
Exhibition stand construction and fabrication for Bilbao
Made-to-measure stand manufacturing covers furniture, lighting and large-format graphics, pre-assembled before travelling to Bilbao.
Exhibition stand installation at Bilbao Exhibition Centre
Our stand installation crew travels with the stand, sets it up at the venue and respects the technical deadlines of Bilbao Exhibition Centre.
Dismantling and removal
When the show closes we dismantle, remove everything and clear the plot within the deadline Bilbao Exhibition Centre sets.
How we install one of our exhibition booths
This is how the installation of one of our stands progresses. Tell us about your Bilbao show and we come back with a 3D proposal and a fixed quote.

Tell us about your projectHow much building an exhibition stand in Bilbao costs and why
A stand has no fixed price: its cost changes with these six factors, and in Bilbao transport also weighs. For more detail, see how to calculate a trade show stand budget.
Surface and plot type
A corner or an island plot asks for more structure and more finished faces than an inline plot.
Height and structure
With machines on the plot, the structure is sized for industrial loads, which adds engineering and reinforcement.
Materials and finishes
We adjust the finish and the made-to-measure pieces to what you need to show: it is the widest margin in the budget.
Audiovisual and lighting
Screens, lighting and sound are quoted separately and can be rented for a single show.
Transport and crew in Bilbao
Truck, travel and staff at Bilbao Exhibition Centre are the item specific to building away from home, and they are fixed in the quote.
Venue services
Electricity, water, rigging points and connectivity are ordered from Bilbao Exhibition Centre and quoted as a separate item.

Frequently asked questions before building at BEC
These are the questions we get most before a project at Bilbao Exhibition Centre. If you have any other, write to us and we will answer without obligation.
How far ahead should I start?
For a complex stand design, 4 to 6 months of planning is ideal (steps to organise a trade show in advance). With less margin we also work, but tell us as soon as you can.
Do you have an office in Bilbao?
No. We work from Barcelona and travel to Bilbao with the stand pre-assembled and with the crew that built it. We do not subcontract the installation.
Do you handle the paperwork with Bilbao Exhibition Centre?
Yes. We prepare the stand drawings and paperwork and build to the venue rules published on the BEC website. If the stand has special structures, we file them in advance.
Do you install and dismantle the exhibition stand yourselves?
Yes. We travel with the stand, install it at the venue and, when the show ends, dismantle it and remove everything. We recover what can be reused.
Is a modular or a custom exhibition booth better?
A modular stand is quick and economical if what you need is simple, but it limits the design. We focus on custom stands and advise you without obligation.
How much does an exhibition stand in Bilbao cost?
It depends on the plot, the design and the transport, so we give no figure without the plan. The six factors in the budget section show where the money goes.
