Construction News Image
The UK's largest built environment event, UK Construction Week (UKCW), has officially opened its doors at the NEC in Birmingham.

Running from October 1 to October 3, this year's event promises to draw thousands of industry professionals eager to explore cutting-edge developments across the construction sector. With over 300 exhibitors, UKCW showcases a broad spectrum of innovative products and services designed to drive the industry forward.

The event features a stellar lineup of keynote speakers, including Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands; Mark Reynolds, Group Chairman and CEO of Mace; and Richard Cook, Group Director of Development at Clarion Housing Group. Their insights are expected to shape discussions on the future of the built environment, sustainability and digital transformation.

This year marks the launch of two new specialist shows, Onsite On Hire and the Roofing, Cladding, Insulation Expo, expanding the event's focus to niche sectors within construction. However, the spotlight remains firmly on technology, with BIM (Building Information Modelling), AI, automation, and robotics driving many of the discussions and presentations.
