How it works

From brief to built in three steps

No agency middlemen, no cold outreach, no spreadsheet of quotes that don’t line up. One brief, comparable bids, one award.

1

Post your brief

Pick your show, stand size and mode — design-build or build-only. Set a budget band and deadline. Posting takes about five minutes and is always free.

For exhibitors

Your contact details stay private. Add reference links, floor-plan size and the services you need.

For builders

New briefs land in your feed filtered to your shows, cities and capabilities the moment they publish.

2

Compare real bids

Vetted builders submit priced concepts. StandMatch normalises price-per-sqm to a single currency snapshot and flags missing scope so you compare like for like — never apples to oranges.

For exhibitors

A side-by-side matrix shows price, per-sqm, timeline and scope exclusions. Ask clarifying questions in structured Q&A.

For builders

Bid with a concept, line-item scope and timeline. Stand out with a verified profile and a strong portfolio.

3

Award and build

Shortlist, message your finalists, then award in one click. We generate the agreement; both sides accept on-platform and the project moves to in-progress.

For exhibitors

Contact details unlock only for the builder you award. Reviews are contract-gated, so ratings are real.

For builders

Win the contract, accept on-platform, and build. You only pay commission when you win — capped, never per bid.

Two ways to post

Design-build or build-only

Pick the mode that fits where your project stands. The choice is locked when you publish.

Design-build

Builders propose both the concept and the construction. Best when you have a brand and a goal but no stand design yet.

  • Creative concept included
  • Public Q&A keeps bidding fair
  • Compare design and price together

Build-only

You already have a stand design. Builders quote construction against your drawings, so quotes are precise and deterministic.

  • Attach your existing design
  • Private Q&A by default
  • Tight, comparable construction quotes
