Stand build and strike
Definition
Stand build and strike are the assembly and post-event dismantling of an exhibition stand, which fairs allow only in fixed windows.
In practice
Build and strike are their own phases, with their own headcount and time window: fairs run strict access schedules, and strike usually has a short fixed slot after closing. The common mistake is assigning strike to the day's stand staff, who by then have worked their hours.
