Light + Building Stand Builder
Practical information for Light + Building exhibitors
Light + Building is held at Messe Frankfurt, one of the world’s largest exhibition centres, with multi-level halls organised by product area: lighting, electrical technology and building automation.
Build-up is concentrated in the days before opening and dismantling starts as soon as the show closes, with working hours and loading slots set out by the organiser in the exhibitor manual. It is a large biennial show where lighting manufacturers build very elaborate stands, and the venue allocates build-up windows by hall and level.
Venue regulations worth bearing in mind:
- Stand approval: the organiser asks for stand plans and elevations by a set deadline; we prepare and submit them for you.
- Rigging: suspended elements can only be hung through the venue’s official rigging service, with its own load calculation.
- Materials: everything we build meets the venue’s fire-rating rules and travels with its certificates.
- Upper hall levels: Messe Frankfurt reviews plans and material certificates, and stands on upper levels have their own load and height limits.
Ideally, book your stand builder 3–4 months before Light + Building, whether you need a compact trade show booth or a large island stand: that leaves time for 3D design, plan approval, production and ordering technical services. We build in our Barcelona workshop and ship the stand to Frankfurt by road; our own crew travels to install and dismantle it, and you deal with a single English-speaking contact and one invoice. See our international exhibition stands page and our exhibition stand planning checklist.

Light + Building is the world's leading trade fair for lighting, electrical engineering, home and building automation, held every two years at Messe Frankfurt. It brings together manufacturers, architects, engineers, installers and planners from all over the world around the latest trends in light, energy efficiency and smart buildings. In a global showcase of this scale, your stand is the image of your brand in front of a demanding technical audience from every corner of the planet.
At Factoría Creativa we design and build custom exhibition stands for Light + Building, managing the whole project from Barcelona to Frankfurt. We coordinate design, production, international transport and build-up in Germany, so your only concern is welcoming your clients to a space that conveys innovation and technology.
Exhibition stand design for Light + Building: lighting and technology
At a fair dedicated to light, your stand design is the best demonstration of your product. We create spaces that make your lighting solutions part of the experience itself: lighting effects, scenography that highlights your luminaires, home automation demo zones and technical areas to show your systems working for real.
We develop the concept, the 3D design and the look and feel so that your brand – lighting, electrical equipment, automation or smart building – projects a high-tech, distinctive image in a highly competitive, international setting. That is what you should expect from a Light + Building stand builder.
Experience in building international exhibition stands
Building a stand in Frankfurt is not the same as building one at home, and that is where we make the difference. We manage the whole international operation: production in our own workshop, transport to Germany, coordination with Messe Frankfurt and compliance with its technical regulations, plus on-schedule build-up and dismantling.
Our experience at fairs outside Spain allows us to anticipate logistics issues, so your stand arrives and is installed without surprises, wherever the fair is held.
A stand that generates international contacts
Light + Building gathers buyers, specifiers and distributors from all over the world. That is why we design the space to make sales meetings easy, organise visitor flow and put your flagship products centre stage, so that every square metre works towards your international expansion.
360° management: from the initial concept to the final dismantling in Frankfurt, one team is responsible for everything, so you can focus on doing business.

When and where is Light + Building 2028 held?
Light + Building 2028 takes place from 5 to 10 March 2028 at Messe Frankfurt (Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage 1, 60327 Frankfurt am Main, Germany).
Do you build stands at fairs outside Spain?
Yes. We manage international projects from start to finish, including transport and build-up in Frankfurt, coordinating all logistics with Messe Frankfurt.
How much does a stand for Light + Building cost?
The price depends on the floor space booked, the type of stand (modular or custom), materials, international transport and extras such as lighting or audiovisuals. As a guide, a basic modular stand costs from €3,000–6,000, a mid-size custom stand €20,000–30,000, and premium stands for major international fairs can exceed €100,000. Floor space is booked and paid separately to the organiser. Tell us about your project via our contact page and we will send you a detailed, no-obligation quote.
How far in advance should I order a stand for an international fair?
For fairs outside Spain we recommend starting ideally 3–4 months before the show, as transport and logistics coordination have to be added to design, production and build-up.
What types of stand can you design for Light + Building?
We design custom, modular, double-deck, island and corner stands, paying special attention to integrating your lighting solutions into the design itself.
Do you design stands for other trade fairs besides Light + Building?
Yes. We design and build exhibition stands for trade fairs across Spain and Europe. You can see all the fairs we work at on our trade fairs page.
