The 14th Construmat, which will be held from April 11 to 16 in Barcelona, Spain, will have two new pavilions, 3 and 4, in the Gran Via showground, thereby increasing overall stand space by 20,000 sq m.

The increase is expected to offer a total of 61,000 sq m spread over four pavilions, which will add to the 84,000 sq m in the Montjuic exhibition centre.
“Between the two exhibition centres, Construmat 2005 will now have 145,000-sq m of stand space – an all-time record for this event – which makes it the largest Spanish trade show.
The Gran Via showground will house floorings and coatings and integral kitchen displays, which have an important synergy with others located in the same exhibition centre. The Gran Via will also house sanitary ware, taps, accessories and bathroom furniture; water, gas, drainage and treatment installations; air-conditioning and heating; electricity and lighting; intelligent homes, security and communications; sustainable building. It will be held alongside the SIDI (International Exhibition for the Design of the Habitat).
The Montjuic exhibition centre will house machinery and equipment; lifting and transport; elements for structures, partitions, facades and roofs; prefabrication and industrialised construction; measuring and precision apparatus; information technology; insulation, water-proofing and paints; wood, metal and PVC carpentry; locksmithy and metalwork; glass and its applications (official bodies and business associations and international pavilions).
The Sustainable Building section of the expo will double in size. Construmat will also have an area dedicated to construction innovation and design. This new initiative will be at the service of all visitors and exhibitors.
Construmat – an exhibition of Fira de Barcelona, the leading organiser of industrial and trade shows in Spain – is one of the first four in Europe in terms of number of events.
