Scenic Fabrication New York

Sets Built for New York Rooms

A set in New York has to fit the room and get into the building. ResMed’s showcase went up under the gilded arches of the New York Stock Exchange and left the hall the way we found it. At Manhatta, 60 floors above Lower Manhattan, BCG’s backdrop panels came in through a working restaurant.

Our scenic fabrication in NYC starts with the building: the dock, the elevator, the floor and the install window. We size every piece to fit, build and finish it in our shop, and our own crew installs it and takes it down.

Planning a build outside New York City? Our scenic fabrication also covers New Jersey, Long Island and Florida.

• Pieces sized to the freight elevator
• Built and finished in our shop
• Installed inside the venue’s window
• Rooms left the way we found them

How a Set Goes Up in a Manhattan Venue

2. Drawings We draw the set to scale in your room and break it into pieces that fit the way in.
3. Shop Build Our carpenters build and finish every piece, and we test any lighting before it leaves the shop.

What to Know Before You Build a Set in NYC

• Flame-Retardant Materials Most New York venues ask for flame-retardant materials and paperwork for scenery and fabric. We plan for it from the first drawing.
• Freight Elevators Many Manhattan venues sit high up in towers. Every piece has to fit the freight elevator, so we size the set around it.
• Landmark Rules Historic rooms often allow nothing fixed to the walls or floors. Freestanding builds and floor protection keep the room safe.
• Labor Rules Convention centers and some hotels set rules on who can do parts of the install. Check what your venue requires, and we’ll plan around it.

Scenic Fabrication in NYC FAQs

Who builds custom event sets in NYC?

ProSho does. Our scenic and fabrication team builds sets, logo walls, booths and exhibits in our own shop, and our crew installs them across the five boroughs.

How much does scenic fabrication cost in NYC?

It depends on the size, materials, finishes and any lighting built in, plus the venue’s install rules. Send us your idea, the venue and the date, and we’ll quote the build.

Can you install a set in a landmark venue like the NYSE?

Yes. We built and installed ResMed’s IPO showcase at the New York Stock Exchange. It was built in our shop, put together on the venue’s schedule and taken out clean.

How do you get a large set into a Manhattan high-⁠rise?

We build it in sections sized to the freight elevator and the hallways, then put it together in the room.

Do NYC venues require flame-⁠retardant scenery?

Most do. We plan the materials and finishes with that in mind and check your venue’s rules before we build.

Do you build trade show booths for the Javits Center?

Yes. We built the W&P booth for NYNOW at the Javits Center, and it won Best in Show.

Can you add lighting, sound and screens to the set?

Yes. We run sound, lighting, video and rigging too, so the set and the show tech are planned together.
