Boxman Studios The Boxman Studios Advantage Having every element of our business under one roof means our structures are completely turnkey. From expert design and manufacturing, to logistics, we take projects from initial concept all the way through your activation. You’ll never have to wade through a sea of vendors, and you’ll always have peace of mind because you’re dealing with our project managers who have a vested interest in the success of the project from start to finish. “Working with Boxman Studios provided us with the opportunity to stand out in a sea of white tents, that translated into added interest, revenue, publicity and TV coverage over the course of the event.” “My experience with Boxman [Studios] to date has been refreshing to say the least. A team that is so eager to partner, build the right relationship and address the business needs first before the costs has been nothing short of refreshing. A true team approach and a cast of professionals that are experts in their field. True partnership. It’s been a great journey to date and one that is only getting better with time.” We love it when others show an interest in what we do because the structures we design, develop, and deploy are awesome.

You might not know it, but your Boxman Studios activation was put together in such a way to make it inherently accessible. We understand the dynamics of day to day barriers, and that means we are able to make those tiny tweaks that you probably didn’t even notice. We practice designing to various standards, including ADA, but we take it a step further. Our team isn’t satisfied just building your activations, tradeshow booths, and events as if ramps were the only necessary design element for universal accessibility. We blend these considerations into our product’s aesthetics. Do you provide design services? Boxman Studios employs a full-service design team to get you where you need to be, from napkin sketch to install. Conceptual drawings and renderings are first up in the design phase, so everybody knows what we’re building. Yes. There are many codes and standards that we follow, and it varies depending on what we are building and where. This is a good thing- not all conditions are the same. Rest assured that we meet and exceed building standards, no matter if you’re in Charlotte or Antarctica (yes, really). Can your team be a turnkey provider? What information can I provide to get your team started? What is the benefit of doing a container project versus a standard stick/brick built project? The actual build costs are about the same, however, the time to market is the extreme benefit. Along with the 7-year deprecation tax benefit, it takes Boxman Studios half the time to build a container concept than it would a standard stick/brick built project. We have our designs approved by the Modular Building Institute, not the local city municipalities. The MBI comes out to our building and does inspections as we are building the unit, just like you would have an inspection on site for a stick-and-brick building. At the end of the build, they pay a final visit to our facility to give one final inspection and sign off. A final approval means your container is built in accordance with all codes and laws for the state you are activating in. You will need to have the site signed off on and inspected by the health department so you can obtain your license to operate. Yes. We have finance partners to help facilitate financial options for you. We are a fully-custom company. Although we have assets that are for rent we use them in a multitude of ways to solve different challenges. Because there are so many elements that affect how we price our projects (turn around time, customizations, location, tour duration, logistics etc) we do not have a generic price for our leasable assets. For more information about our general pricing structure, download our ebook. Drayage is the term given to the fees you pay to have your booth and trade show exhibit materials shipped to the event and delivered to your booth location for set up. This is typically charged/billed by the pound and number of items/boxes. As for how it impacts us at Boxman Studios, we are usually able to bypass ‘drayage’ because the unit never leaves our possession. We do occasionally see a ‘spotting fee’ which is typically much lower than the average cost of drayage for the typical exhibitor. Can we help write an RFP? Before issuing an RFP, we suggest you solicit a letter of interest from your broad pool of candidates; if you feel it is in your best interest to get nondisclosure agreements this can go with solicitation. This helps you gauge responsiveness, professionalism, gets the right contacts, narrows down RFP recipients to the most qualified and interested people, and saves you from investing further time in unqualified or undesirable partners. We do our job well and with full transparency. We recap phone calls, confirm statements, and cross-check all facets of a project from start to finish. We aren’t a 9- to-5 company. We accommodate your schedule so that questions and concerns are handled quickly and time lags don’t compromise the integrity of the project. We go above and beyond so our clients are satisfied with their end-product and happy with the experience of working with us. This post was originally published on 7/8/2013.
