Construction / Exhibitions & Interactives

Interactives, objects
& brand builds.

Large sculptural objects, hands-on interactives and immersive brand activations, delivered across Australia. From a working chocolate machine to a Tough Mudder Man Wash and VIP marquees at the Australian Open, we take a concept and engineer it to survive crowds, weather and a tight install window. Off-the-shelf where it makes sense, bespoke where it counts.

Built to endure

It has to work on day three, not just day one.

We work in interpretive design and collaboration, and in builds that take a beating. The Vegemite Surf Groms stand survived storms, surf, sand and seven-year-olds across two years at the Quiksilver Pro.

VIP marquees and temporary retail at the Australian Open for Lacoste, ANZ and the Natural Confectionary Company - all delivered on time and on budget.

How we build

Concept to crowd,
on time.

We engineer the idea to last the event and install it where it needs to be - on schedule, often across multiple venues.

01

Interpret

We take a brand or a brief and turn it into something buildable, engaging and on message.

02

Engineer to endure

Built to survive weather, crowds and constant handling - day one to the last day.

03

Fabricate

Steel, polystyrene carving, scenic finish and joinery, integrating off-the-shelf with bespoke.

04

Deliver & install

Delivered and installed on time, and re-deployed across venues where the activation tours.

Questions

Good to know.

What kind of builds do you make?

Large sculptural objects, hands-on interactives and immersive brand activations - in steel, polystyrene carving, scenic finish and joinery. From a working chocolate machine to VIP marquees and temporary retail outlets.

Can a build survive an outdoor event?

Yes. We engineer activations to endure the conditions. The Vegemite Surf Groms stand stood up to storms, surf, sand and seven-year-olds across two years at the Quiksilver Pro.

Do you deliver to multiple venues?

Yes. The Solo Man Wash for Tough Mudder was built, delivered and installed at multiple venues around the country, and our Australian Open activations were delivered on time and on budget.

Off-the-shelf or bespoke?

Both. We integrate off-the-shelf items with cleverly built bespoke pieces, so the budget goes where it counts and the result still reads as a one-off.

Are you still operating after the change of ownership?

Yes. The workshop is open and the team is at the bench. Show Works is now part of Theatre Safe Australia, with the national resources of TSA behind the work.

Got an activation to build?

Tell us the brand, the venue and the crowd, and we will engineer something that lasts the whole event.
