My experience is that a good fabrication firm has corporate relations with a
number of designers; where it is the fabricator who is approached first by
the client, he/she/it will try to find a designer whose background and
abilities best fit the client's needs (and pocketbook!). Hence, a firm like
Ottawa's ExpoZone International, which does work in a number of countries,
maintains relations with a number of good designers. As well, it uses local
firms to do the installation, aided by one or more of their own people. It
is really quite a good combination, especially if one opts for the use of a
"turnkey" project manager...and no, I am not on an ExpoZone retainer!!! I
have used them in different situations and institutions and have always been
pleased with the results.
