A series of specialised exhibitions, supported by an international trade conference, is set to open this month under the prestigious Saudi Build Exhibition (Saudi Build) banner in a bid to redefine the construction landscape and cater to the booming building and construction sector of the kingdom and the wider region.

The three specialised events – Saudi Building Technologies, Saudi Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Exhibition, and Saudi Stone Sector Exhibition – will be held over 27,500 sq m of exhibition space at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre from November 6 to 9.

These exhibitions, encompassing 11 national pavilions, are set to host more than 550 companies from 35 countries. Notably, a significant area has been allocated to China, a powerhouse in construction, where the latest construction materials, technologies, and interior design concepts will be showcased, according to Riyadh Exhibitions Company Limited, the organiser of the event.

The 33rd edition of the pioneering event will be held under the patronage of Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing Majid Al Hoqail.

Saudi Build is one of the largest and most prominent construction events in the region, and serves as an ideal platform for leaders and decision-makers in the construction sector from Saudi Arabia and other countries to come together. The exhibition will showcase the latest in construction innovation, with a particular spotlight on cutting-edge technologies and revolutionary methodologies.
