Sydney Build 2016 – Building Up Down Under

Australia is one of the world’s richest countries, with the highest median wealth in the world and the second largest economy in the southern hemisphere. The population is growing, it has a strong and diverse industrial base and the government invests heavily in infrastructure projects. All that adds up to a country with a thriving construction sector, and nowhere is that more true than in Sydney. With its iconic opera house and many other spectacular buildings Sydney isn’t just the state capital of New South Wales; it’s the architectural capital of Australia. With a heritage like this to build on it’s no surprise that the city hosts a world-leading construction expo, and Sydney Build 2016 looks like being an outstanding event.
Sydney Build is the only construction industry event that’s aimed solely at New South Wales, and there’s going to be a lot on offer. More than 150 exhibitors will be attending, covering a broad spectrum of Australian and international firms. Products on display will run from heavy plant to adhesives and building fittings, with a strong emphasis on advanced sustainable technologies. It’s the perfect chance to catch up on what’s new and to speak to the industry’s leading manufacturers.
The networking opportunities on offer at Sydney Built shouldn’t be missed by any construction professional. With growing demand for new housing and more than $8 billion of new infrastructure projects being planned over the next few years in Sydney alone, this is one of the most promising markets south of the equator. Whatever you want to build there’s a demand for it in New South Wales, so this is your chance to speak to local decision makers as well as contractors with experience of doing business in the area. You can access a huge pool of expertise on local design trends, the regulatory system and much more.
As well as the exhibits Sydney Build will also be hosting a great range of presentations and workshops. Topics include green building, Australian regulations and plenty of other invaluable information about maximising your chances of winning contracts in and around Sydney. Speakers featured in the busy agenda include trade associations, state and national government officials and some of Australia’s leading industry experts.
Sydney Build 2016 will run from 10-11 March at the Australian Technology Park. Only 8km from Sydney Airport and 5km from the city’s central business district, this is a modern and well-equipped venue that’s perfect for an event like this. You’ll find a good selection of local hotels and excellent transport links. Entry to Sydney Build is free and you can sign up through the event website.
