Building a construction sector that is the best in the world
The government’s Construction Sector Deal calls upon architects and building professionals to create a construction sector that is the best in the world, producing economical, smart, safe and energy efficient buildings at speed. Coupled with the reported rise in construction output, the future looks busy and competitive.
That’s why this year’s UK Construction Week (UKCW) is crammed with the latest thinking, products and insights to provide architects with the finest opportunity to expand their knowledge, product choices and networks.
New products will be showcased throughout the event including: ONLEVEL’s rival to its popular SKYFORCE Juliet balcony and Kedel’s low carbon accessories.
Exhibitors include: Aggregate Industries, BLFA, Capital Holz100, Formica, Hanson Plywood, HP, Kingspan, Knauf, Pfleiderer, Tradepoint (B&Q) and Velfac
Nathan Garnett, UKCW event director, said:
“At UK Construction Week we are focused on showcasing innovation from all sectors and making it easier for any professional to update their CPD, get inspired by amazing people and projects, and walk away with practical information on new technologies, systems, products and collaborations from around the world that would otherwise take months to research.”
The programme includes:
- RIBA: Building in Quality
- Political Correctness Has Gone Mad?
- Building Trump Tower: All Alone on the 68th Floor
- Where to 21st Century RIBA Role Models?
- Robotic Building for Al
