Our the paperwork engagement is sized to the venue and the calendar — not a generic playbook.

Scope on a venue compliance and show services paperwork project
On the paperwork, a full engagement covers scope development, fabrication or rental, graphics, show services, logistics, and on-site execution from move-in through dismantle.
On the paperwork, typical line items include booth structure (custom or rental), graphics and print, AV and lighting, show-service orders (power, internet, rigging), labor calls against the venue's rules, freight both ways, on-site supervision, and post-show closeout documentation.
On the paperwork, a well-run project has few surprises on install day because the handoffs upstream were tight. A bad one has many, because they weren't.
On the paperwork, out of scope by default are show organizer fees, booth lease costs paid directly to the show, staff travel and per diems, and any custom software or data-capture tooling the client runs on its own stack.
What an engagement actually looks like
On the paperwork, every engagement begins the same way. From those four inputs, a real plan can be built.
On the paperwork, venue coordination comes next.
Production on the paperwork converts the plan into physical pieces — fabrication, graphics, AV, rentals — and names the field lead who will hold the floor on install day.
On the paperwork, install days are owned by a single on-site lead.
During show hours, the paperwork is a live operating space — the on-site team absorbs repairs, sponsor changes, lead-capture issues, and venue questions so the client team can stay in conversations.
Closeout on the paperwork is tight: strike, crate, manifest, storage designation, and a written post-show report delivered the next morning — that document drives the next booking.
Pricing and scheduling
Pricing on the paperwork runs against real line items — fabrication or rental, graphics, show services, labor, freight, and travel where it applies.
Cost on the paperwork scales with build path, footprint, venue service fees, graphics complexity, freight distance, and supervision days on the floor.
On the paperwork, lead time drives everything. Custom: 16 to 20 weeks. Rental: 8 to 12.
