Questions

Find answers to
common questions.

What does Traction Studio do?

We design and build custom brand activations, event structures, pop-up shops, retail fitouts, commercial spaces, expo stands, Mardi Gras floats, staging sets, and modular fitouts for brands, agencies, and events across Australia.

Do you work with brands directly, or only through agencies?

We work with both. Brands, agencies, event producers, creative studios, galleries, and museums all collaborate with us directly. We partner with whoever's driving the project.

Do you operate Australia-wide?

Yes. We design and fabricate at our Sydney workshop, then manage delivery, installation, and project coordination across all Australian cities and regions. Hire products are available for Sydney metro only.

How much does a custom build cost?

It depends on scope, materials, complexity, and timeline. We quote every project individually based on your brief. Get in touch and we'll discuss budget during your Concept Clarity Call.

How far in advance should I get in touch?

Most projects need 2–8 weeks from concept approval to installation. We recommend reaching out as soon as you have a brief, but we also accommodate urgent timelines depending on availability.

Do I need a finished design to start a project?

No. A rough idea of what you're building, where, and when is enough to start a conversation. We'll help develop the design details from there.

What makes Traction Studio different from other companies?

We bring you through our crafted process step by step, breaking the project down into bit-sized pieces. Our process is designed to bring you on the inside, instead of shutting you out until install day. You're involved throughout so that you can be confident that everything will arrive on-site as it should be.
