06 / FAQ

Straight
answers.

01What does Sazu Fabrication do?
We build custom booths, activations, stages and brand environments in metal and wood, from your design, in our Chicago shop, and deliver them to the 48 contiguous states. For smaller shows we also rent 10×10 and 10×20 inline booths.
02Do you design, or build from our drawings?
We build from your design: renderings, CAD or PDFs, turned into shop drawings for your sign-off before anything is cut. Brand design stays with you or your agency.
03Do you sign NDAs and white-label?
Yes. We sign your NDA before any files change hands, and we can deliver a build unbranded, with no Sazu marks on or around the piece.
04How fast do you respond?
We respond to every brief within 24 hours. Send the in-hand date and we work back from it.
05Can we rent a booth instead?
Yes. For smaller shows we rent 10×10 and 10×20 inline booths, built in the same shop and quoted per show. See Rental Booths.
06How do we get a bid?
Use the form below or the bid page. For a build, send the brief, drawings and in-hand date. For a rental, send the show, dates and booth size.
