An event on an unprecedented scale, with ten thousand participants! Becoming the construction industry’s “expo and summit barometer”

This year’s New Zealand Building Expo will be on an unprecedented scale, with around a hundred or more prominent exhibitors expected, including well-known developers, construction and building materials businesses, and major home improvement and appliance brands. They will bring an extensive range of the latest products and interact directly with consumers.

 

The event consists of four main elements: an expo, seminars, a gala dinner and an excellence awards ceremony. Mutual benefit, connections, pooling resources and sharing them underpin the entire event.

 

Since its inception, the New Zealand Chinese Building Industry Expo and Summit has enjoyed a reputation as the industry’s most prestigious expo and summit. The annual New Zealand Building Expo has now become a barometer for New Zealand’s construction industry. From its inaugural edition in 2015 to today, in just 6 years, it has grown into a major industry event serving New Zealand and an international audience.

 
This year’s expo aims to connect people for mutual benefit and tackle increasingly serious industry challenges

High construction costs and persistent labour shortages have become urgent issues for the construction industry. The pandemic, border closures and inflation are expected to cause severe labour shortages this year, while disruption to international shipping will directly increase logistics costs. Construction costs are therefore expected to rise further this year from their 2020 level.
 
How should the construction industry as a whole tackle labour shortages and rising costs? 

The expo will give attendees access to the most comprehensive industry resources, the best products and the most effective professional connections. It will connect participants with the rapidly growing construction sector, help them establish relationships and partnerships with industry leaders and senior decision-makers, and provide an opportunity to discuss the new opportunities and many challenges facing the sector.

“Our purpose in holding this expo is guided by mutual benefit and connection. We call on the Chinese construction community to unite and continue supporting the sustainable, healthy development of New Zealand’s construction industry by pooling and sharing resources,” said New Zealand Chinese Building Industry Association president Frank Xu.

 

Joining forces to shape future living

Rapid technological development and the COVID pandemic are subtly changing how people live and inhabit their homes. Changes in urban density and the popularity of apartment living are having a major impact on many aspects of how homes and communities are designed, developed and built. With an exhibition area themed “Shaping Future Living Together”, the expo will give exhibitors a platform to fully express their brands’ innovative ideas. They will share forward-looking products and concepts, including cutting-edge design, innovative materials, new energy, technology software and smart tools, with industry professionals and visitors.

Bringing together leading industry resources to help businesses make more sales and build wider partnerships

The two-day 2021 expo will bring together leading companies from New Zealand’s construction and property sectors, offering businesses an opportunity to showcase their brands and establish mutually beneficial partnerships. A series of seminars will also take place during the expo. Leading exhibitors will share the latest industry information with visitors and demonstrate innovative technologies and products interactively.

 

Tickets to the gala dinner and excellence awards ceremony will be in high demand

The expo’s gala dinner and excellence awards ceremony will be held on 6 August at Auckland’s Cordis hotel. Leaders from New Zealand’s construction, property, investment and related industries will be invited. More than 800 guests are expected to attend, enjoying fine food and relaxed conversation together.

During the dinner, the New Zealand Chinese Building Industry Association will present the NZCBIA Excellence Awards across 11 categories covering development, design, construction, innovation and other areas. Tickets to previous dinners have been extremely hard to secure, so please get in touch early to book and avoid missing this premier construction industry social event.
