Exhibition stand builder in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Boukary Sawadogo's bench builds for SIAO, FILO and the Ouaga 2000 conference district — local fabrication that spares your project a long overland freight leg.
The bench in Ouagadougou.
Before we opened this bench, Ouagadougou stands travelled 1,100 km by road from Abidjan — the single longest freight leg in our old model and the reason Burkina Faso was an early priority when we moved to local production. Today the bench sources framing timber locally and holds the same sample board as every other city.
Like every market we serve, Burkina Faso works on the split model: design and engineering stay in the Abidjan studio, fabrication and raise-day happen here, by a crew that lives here. What crosses the border is a drawing pack — never a truck. The finish standard is enforced with the shared sample board and a 22-photo raise-day audit reviewed against the drawings before your walk-through.
Pricing follows the network's flat logic: the 600 € incl. tax / m² baseline with a 1.08 country factor — from 648 € incl. tax per m² (≈ XOF 425,100 / m²). The factor covers exactly one thing: material logistics into the local market, and it appears as its own labelled line in the quote. The rate includes design, fabrication, raise and strike; venue services (power, rigging) and screen hardware (re-invoiced at cost +10%) are itemised separately — no hidden costs. Run your configuration in the 10-second estimate, or file a brief for a firm quote within 48 hours.
