3D Visualisation

Photoreal renders and VR walkthroughs - sign-off first time.

In-house 3d visualisation for exhibition stands, photo real stills and animated fly-throughs so stakeholders can walk your stand before a single panel is cut. The version you sign off is the version that lands on show day.

Approval is faster when everyone can see it. Our visualisation team produces renders that match final materials, lighting and graphics down to the finish, the version you approve is the version you'll walk onto at the show.

Exhibition stands are approved by our expert team. Marketing signs off on the design, sales signs off the meetings and finance signs off the number. When every stakeholder can walk through the stand in photo real 3D, the conversation changes, decisions are quicker, cheaper and better.

We model to the actual construction CAD, so every visual is dimensionally accurate. Colours are proofed against final print substrates, lighting is simulated at the hall's real colour temperature and materials read as they will feel on the day. No render-to-reality gap.

What's included

The service, in detail.

Photo real stills

Photo real stills

Multiple angles, day and evening lighting, populated with realistic visitors, the stand as it will actually feel.

Material-accurate rendering

Material-accurate rendering

Textures, finishes, joinery and lighting matched to the actual construction specification, not stock library assets.

FAQs

Frequently asked.

Everything exhibitors ask us before signing off a stand, costs, lead times, reuse, overseas shows and the sustainability question.

How accurate are the renders?

We model to the actual construction CAD, and colours and materials are matched to the final specification. The stand you approve is the stand we build.

Can we use the visuals in our own marketing?

Yes - all visuals are yours to use for internal approval and pre-show marketing.

How long does 3D visualisation take?

Typical turnaround is 3–5 working days from approved CAD to final stills; VR files add another 2–3 days.

How much does an exhibition stand cost in the UK?

For UK shows, most custom stands land between £8,000 for a compact 9m² modular scheme and £120,000+ for a bespoke 100m² double-decker build. Cost is driven by floor area, structural complexity, AV integration, storage/reuse strategy and freight - we'll give you a fixed quote against your brief before any design work starts.

How far in advance should we book our exhibition stand designer?

Ideally 4–6 months before your show for a custom build, or 8–12 weeks for a modular/reconfigured stand. Booking earlier locks in better freight rates, reduces rush-fees on print and lets us prototype interactive elements. We do take on shorter turnarounds when capacity allows.

Do you handle stand build, install and dismantle as well as design?

Yes - SRXPO is a design, deliver and build studio. One project manager owns your brief from concept through CAD, structural sign-off, print, on-site install, show-time support and dismantle. You don't hand off between a designer, a contractor and a logistics company.

Can you build stands that we reuse across multiple shows?

That's the default. We engineer for modularity - reconfigurable framework, swappable graphics, flat-pack freight, palletised storage - so your stand works at a 36m² regional show and a 72m² European flagship without a rebuild. Cost-per-show drops sharply after your second event.

Do you work with international exhibitors and overseas shows?

Yes. We regularly deliver into Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, the UAE and the US. Local hall regulations (Messe rules, DWTC compliance, US union labour, EU electrical standards) are designed in from concept, and we coordinate freight, on-site contractors and customs paperwork end to end.

Are your exhibition stands sustainable and reusable?

Every stand is engineered against a reuse-first brief: aluminium sub-frames over timber where possible, FSC-certified panels, LED-only lighting, recyclable graphics substrates and a documented storage plan. We report material re-use rate at project close so you can evidence it in ESG and Scope 3 disclosures.

Client Voices

What our clients say.

01 / 03

The stand was the best-looking one in the hall and it drew the exact audience we needed. The SRXPO team ran the whole build without us lifting a finger.

Five shows in four countries in one season. Every stand landed on time, on brand and on budget. That kind of reliability is rare.

From the first concept sketch to breakdown at 10pm on the last day, they were the calmest people in the building. Stress-free is not a word I use lightly.
