How Long Does an Interactive Installation Project Really Take?

Timelines Depend on the Project

Clients often ask how long an installation will take. The honest answer depends on complexity, but the stages are similar and most delays come from the same places.

The Usual Stages

These are general guides rather than promises, since every project differs. Simple experiences can take a few weeks, while complex bespoke builds often take several months. Our experiential team confirms a schedule once the brief is clear.

  • Brief and concept — agreeing what is being built
  • Design and approvals — visuals, content and sign-off
  • Development and fabrication — building software and hardware
  • Testing — checking it works in realistic conditions
  • Installation and handover — setting up and training the team

What Causes Delays

Late feedback, changing requirements, slow approvals and venue access problems are the usual culprits. Bespoke hardware with long lead times can also stretch a schedule.

How to Speed Things Up

Gather decision makers early, supply content on time and agree a clear point after which changes cost extra. Agencies can plan this with us through our partnership programme.
