Aside from the two convention centers, PHILCONSTRUCT will also have three expansion tents in WTCMM and an outdoor display area for heavy equipment at the Ipil-ipil lot of the CCP Complex Grounds, making this the biggest edition of the show to date – over 100,000 square meters of exhibition space are being targeted.

The 30th PHILCONSTRUCT is organized by the Philippine Construction Association, Inc. (PCA), the leading organization in building and construction whose members are responsible for over 70 percent of all consttruction projects in the country.

“More than putting together sellers and buyers in one venue, PHILCONSTRUCT is one of PCA’s ways of serving industry needs,” shared Morris Agoncillo, president of PCA. “This year, we have put special focus on getting foreign exhibitors to showcase new tech and solutions that our local practitioners should consider utilizing. For one, we have a New Technology Pavilion by the European Union. About 30 exhibitors from all over Europe are coming over to be part of this.”

With exhibits and displays from the biggest names in the construction industry, including Isuzu Philippines Corporation, Hyundai Trucks and Buses, Shacman Motors Incorporated, Scania Philippines, Sany Philippines, and more, PHILCONSTRUCT solidifies its position as the annual event for the construction industry’s movers and shakers, gathering hundreds of the leading suppliers and thousands of trade buyers in one venue.

“The construction ecosystem now has focused on finding solutions to the many challenges faced by the industry. “This is where PHILCONSTRUCT’s role as the industry sourcing show becomes very important,” said Gerry Pancho, overall event chairman and 1st vice president of PCA. “PHILCONSTRUCT gives industry decision-makers and buyers to connect with suppliers and manufacturers from both here and abroad in one convenient venue, cutting down on the time to connect with each company on a personal basis.”

The 30th PHILCONSTRUCT runs from November 7 to 10 at the aforementioned venues. Check out the Day 1 highlights below.
