Behind the Build: How We Turn Creative Concepts Into Real-World Sets

At Coffee House Industries, every set we build begins with a spark—a vision, a story, or a brand that needs to come to life in the physical world. Our job is to make that vision tangible, and we’ve spent years perfecting a seamless process that transforms creative concepts into fully realized, high-impact scenic environments. Whether it’s a film set, a branded activation, a concert stage, or a trade show experience, our approach combines artistic vision with structural expertise to deliver results that wow.

Step 1: Design Collaboration & Previsualization

It all starts with collaboration. Our team works closely with production designers, creative directors, and agency leads to understand the scope, audience, and intent behind every project. Using tools like SketchUp, AutoCAD, Rhino, and Adobe Suite, we provide detailed renderings, CAD drawings, and 3D models to bring ideas into focus. This early design phase is where creativity meets technical planning—ensuring your vision is not only stunning but buildable.

Step 2: Precision Fabrication In-House

Once the design is approved, we transition into fabrication at our fully equipped Los Angeles-based shop. With CNC routers, laser cutters, foam carving tools, UV flatbed printers, and a full carpentry and paint team, we fabricate every scenic element in-house. This vertical integration allows us to control quality, move quickly, and adapt on the fly. Whether it’s a 30-foot wall, a custom bar, or a set of LED-integrated props, we build it with craftsmanship, precision, and durability.

Step 3: Finishing, Painting & Detailing

Scenic artistry is what sets great builds apart. Our scenic team adds texture, paint, and finishes that transform raw materials into realistic environments—from faux brick and distressed wood to high-gloss modern surfaces. Whether the set is for camera or in-person interaction, we ensure every inch looks as good up close as it does from across the room.

Step 4: Delivery, Installation & On-Site Support

We don’t just hand off a finished product—we deliver and install it anywhere in the country. Our experienced crew manages transportation, assembly, adjustments, and walk-throughs to ensure everything is installed to spec. From single-day installs to multi-week builds, we’re prepared to support productions in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and beyond.

Step 5: Strike & Storage (When Needed)

After the event or production wraps, we handle breakdown and removal with the same care and organization as we do the install. Our strike team works quickly, safely, and respectfully—leaving venues clean and ready for the next phase. Need storage for future events? We can do that too.


At Coffee House Industries, we pride ourselves on delivering scenic builds that exceed expectations—from concept to completion. When you need a team that can think creatively, build with precision, and execute flawlessly, we’re ready to roll.
