EXHIBIT DESIGN AND FABRICATION

We realize that creating a new exhibit space or renovating an existing one can take years of planning and fundraising. 
Our goal is to streamline this process for you by planning, fabricating, and installing an exhibit on a faster timetable, while providing this service at a much more affordable cost than you are accustomed to paying.

Step One

We work with your team to design and create exhibits that work in your gallery, meet your goals, and are developed at or under your budget.

Step Two

Our fabricators complete their work and come in on time.

StepThree

Our crew expertly installs the exhibit with assistance from your team. This way, they know how to trouble shoot repairs and maintenance.

Why are we different than every other fabricator or designer?

Specifically, you should think of Build 4 Impact as a "Mom and Pop" business - Meg and Aaron are literally married, so they are "mom and pop." Compare us to the big box stores - the Wal-marts - of the exhibit design and fabrication business. We won't list them here, but you know who they are. 

You will save about 2/3 the cost of building an exhibit with us rather than building with a "big box store" fabricator. 

When you hire Build 4 Impact to create your exhibits, you are hiring a small business, you are hiring the entrepreneur, you are hiring the "mom and pop" store. When you hire the big designers and fabricators you are also hiring all the expensive baggage and overhead costs that comes with them and only cost you more money. 

Build 4 Impact is transparent. Here is how we work:
  • Build 4 Impact contracts with you to create your exhibit.
  • We agree to a number of months of work, where Build 4 Impact is placed on a retainer (typically $4,000 - $8,000 a month depending on the job).
  • Build 4 Impact works with your team to design the concept for your exhibit.
  • Build 4 Impact engages with our network to bring your exhibit to life.
  • Any expenses from our network are billed "at cost". Build 4 Impact shows you the invoice, there is no handling fee or markup. If something cost $250 from the provider, you pay $250. 
  • All expenses are billed "at cost" and are only incurred, when necessary, with frugal mindset. 
  • We work with you to save you money every way we can - while ensuring that you have the very best end product. For example, if you want us to use your sign maker, we will. While on site, if you want us to eat our meals in your facility's cafeteria so you don't get invoiced for meals, we will. If you want to assign a staff person to drive us, eliminating the need to rent a car, that is fine with us.
  • We do this because we have been in your position before and we know how expensive things can be. We treat your money like it is ours and we don't like to be wasteful.
At the end, you have an awesome new exhibit at an affordable price. 

Our exhibits typically cost about one-third what you would pay to a typical fabricator or designer, saving you two-thirds.
