THE BUILD SHOW 57 SHOW PREVIEW
BUILDING ON 2016 SUCCESS
The Build Show 2017 – sponsored by Easy-Trim – is the largest of the nine shows taking place as part of UK Construction Week at the NEC from 10 - 12 October.
A
lready recognised as the benchmark exhibition for the building industry, and responsible for connecting thousands of construction specialists and tradespeople, this year’s Build Show provides an unprecedented platform for business development and transformation. And it’s completely free to attend.
More than 400 exhibitors, including CAT, ScrewFix, Hewlett Packard, Jigtech, and Festool will be displaying the latest and most innovative products and services available in the UK, with an estimated 35,000 building industry specialists attending across the three days. There’s a series of dedicated seminars and CPD-credited workshops, plus a beer and ale festival running throughout all three days and the evenings of Tuesday and Wednesday. And as if that wasn’t enough, a ticket to The Build Show also gives free access to the other eight shows taking place in the halls of the NEC: Timber Expo, Smart Buildings, Grand Designs Live, Surface Materials (featuring Kitchens & Bathrooms Live), Energy, Plant & Machinery Live, HVAC and Civils Expo. A new layout and floorplan has been devised to make it easier to navigate the entire exhibition space and ensure that visitors gain maximum benefit from their time at the shows.
DEFINITIVE SAFETY COURSES In light of recent tragic events at Grenfell Tower, The Build Show has launched free, unbiased, factual workshops to anyone working in the industry. These free, one hour CPD-certified sessions will address the specification and use of products from the viewpoint of safety, quality and fire prevention in buildings to ensure that all participants are given the most up-to-date advice and guidance on the main issues affecting the built environment.
These topics have been under intense public scrutiny at a national level, and while Grenfell will change the construction industry forever, companies must come to terms with the fact that ‘doing enough’ is no longer good enough. The industry has a responsibility for the safety of every user or inhabitant of every building in the UK, and with an over-zealous national media looking to apportion blame, and the threat of prosecution and prison now a stark reality, these workshops will ensure that our industry is completely informed with the latest views, findings and legislation.
WHAT ELSE IS NEW?
Other new features at this year’s show include a Regional Development Hub exploring development opportunities in the Northern Powerhouse, Midlands Engine, and major cities across the UK. You’ll also find additional zones and theatres, including Health and Safety, Windows & Doors, Roofing & Insulation, Tools, the Builders Merchants Federation Pavilion, and the BIM Prospects Theatre delivered by BRE. There’s even a ‘How to Theatre’ featuring product demonstrations and advice for SMEs, and an Education Hub will offer CPDs in partnership with BSI.
A number of new, specialist awards will feature at this year’s event. These include: Low Carbon Vehicles Awards, BIM Awards, Offsite Awards and the WAN Transport, Concrete in Architecture and Adaptive Reuse Awards. The UK’s best companies in the industry will also be recognised at the Construction Enquirer Awards on the opening night of the show. With so much at stake, and so much potential for transformation, it’s a major advantage to exhibit and attend. Book your free ticket – and reserve spaces at seminars and CPD-certified workshops online.
