Constructionshows
Capac Expo Hábitat in Panama City, Panama is the country’s most important and comprehensive construction and housing trade fair, organised by the Camara Panameña de la Construcción (CAPAC). With more than three decades of history, this exhibition brings together national and international companies, industry professionals, and consumers to explore the latest building materials, construction technologies, real estate projects, machinery, and financial solutions that are shaping Panama’s built environment and housing market.
Held at the Panama Convention Center, Capac Expo Hábitat functions as a dynamic marketplace and networking hub for professionals from across the construction, real estate, and property development sectors. The event typically attracts over 100 exhibitors from Panama and abroad who showcase products ranging from structural materials and heavy equipment to interior finishes, decorative solutions, architectural systems, and complete building solutions.
One of the defining features of the expo is its broad scope across both the construction and housing markets. Besides materials and machinery, the fair includes extensive real estate showcases with hundreds of housing projects spanning urban, suburban, and resort locations. Many visitors can access on-site mortgage approvals and special financing offers from participating banks, making the event valuable for first-time homebuyers, investors, and industry professionals alike.
Capac Expo Hábitat also promotes knowledge exchange and innovation within the building sector. The fair often features workshops, technical talks, and demonstration areas where visitors can learn about sustainable building practices, digital tools like BIM, and emerging construction technologies. These activities appeal to architects, engineers, builders, students, and professionals looking to stay informed on industry trends.
Beyond its professional and technical focus, the event welcomes families and the general public. Its mix of exhibition zones, interactive displays, and educational activities makes it accessible to a broad audience — from construction specialists and real estate investors to homeowners and design enthusiasts.
Recognised not just as a trade fair but as a catalyst for economic activity in Panama’s construction and housing sectors, Capac Expo Hábitat continues to be a key annual highlight for anyone involved in building, renovating, investing, or simply planning their next home project in Central America.
