In a landmark move for the UK construction sector,\u00a0UK Construction Week London and Futurebuild, will come together from 12-14 May 2026, creating a new national platform for the built environment at Excel London.<\/p>\n
The collaborative co-location will form the\u00a0UK\u2019s Built Environment Super Event, designed to reflect the full scale, complexity and ambition of an industry facing unprecedented change.<\/p>\n
Together, the events will bring\u00a025,000 built environment professionals,\u00a0600+ exhibitors\u00a0and\u00a0700+\u00a0speakers across 10 dedicated stages\u00a0under one roof – making it the largest and most comprehensive construction event in the UK calendar.<\/p>\n
Two distinct shows. One connected destination.<\/p>\n
While collaborating closely,\u00a0UK Construction Week London and Futurebuild will retain their own powerful identities, communities and curated content, ensuring clarity of purpose alongside the benefits of scale and connection.<\/p>\n
Futurebuild\u00a0will remain the UK\u2019s leading event for sustainability, net zero and innovation in the built environment. It will continue to deliver highly respected CPD-accredited content, connecting architects, designers, local authorities and developers with ideas and solutions driving low-carbon construction, circular materials and large-scale retrofit. This leadership is anchored by\u00a0The National Retrofit Conference, a flagship forum for policymakers, housing providers and net zero leaders.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
UK Construction Week London\u00a0will continue to champion the practical delivery of construction projects, bringing a hands-on, solutions-led focus to the industry. The event connects contractors, housebuilders, trades and engineers with the tools, systems and skills needed on site, supported by live demonstrations, immersive features and CPD-accredited content grounded in real-world delivery.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Expanding the materials and finishes offer<\/p>\n
Alongside\u00a0Futurebuild\u00a0and\u00a0UK Construction Week London,\u00a0The Stone & Surfaces Show\u00a0will also take place at Excel London, adding a specialist focus on natural stone, surfaces, finishes and materials. Its inclusion strengthens the event\u2019s materials and interiors offer, creating new opportunities for crossover between design, specification and installation.<\/p>\n
The Power of coming together<\/p>\n
This collaboration responds directly to the industry\u2019s call for\u00a0greater cohesion, clearer leadership and more connected experiences, at a time when meeting net zero targets, modernising skills and decarbonising the built environment have never been more urgent.<\/p>\n
By bringing together\u00a0Futurebuild\u2019s sustainability leadership and systems-level thinking,\u00a0UK Construction Week London\u2019s scale and delivery focus, and\u00a0The Stone & Surfaces Show\u2019s specialist materials expertise, the co-located event creates a\u00a0360-degree experience\u00a0\u2014 from vision and innovation through to specification, materials and on-site implementation.<\/p>\n
Martin Hurn, Event Director, Futurebuild<\/b>, commented:\u00a0“<\/span>This is about creating one connected platform that reflects how the industry actually works \u2014 from vision to specification to delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFuturebuild will continue to lead on sustainability and long-term systems thinking, and collaborating with UK Construction Week London enables us to extend that influence into the practical, on-site world, turning ideas into real impact across the supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n Sam Patel, Divisional Director, UK Construction Week London, added:\u201cUK Construction Week London has always championed scale, experience and solutions that matter to those delivering projects on the ground. Collaborating with Futurebuild and The Stone & Surfaces Show unlocks new depth and strategic value, creating a destination that is richer, more relevant and more valuable to every part of the built environment.\u201d<\/p>\n Commercial scale. Strategic reach. Connected opportunity.<\/p>\n For exhibitors, the co-location delivers a step change in commercial opportunity, bringing together\u00a0specifiers, consultants and sustainability leaders\u00a0with\u00a0contractors, housebuilders, engineers and delivery partners.<\/p>\n Benefits include:<\/p>\n expanded reach and cross-sector visibility<\/p>\n<\/li>\n increased dwell time and more connected visitor journeys<\/p>\n<\/li>\n stronger alignment between specification, materials and delivery<\/p>\n<\/li>\n higher-quality leads across fast-growth markets such as retrofit, digital construction, offsite and sustainable materials<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n One destination. One vision. One future.<\/p>\n The UK Built Environment Super Event will serve as the new national platform for innovation, skills and sustainable delivery, showcasing solutions across:<\/p>\n retrofit and net zero systems<\/p>\n<\/li>\n HVAC, heating and building services<\/p>\n<\/li>\n circular and low-impact materials<\/p>\n<\/li>\n offsite and modern construction methods<\/p>\n<\/li>\n tools, plant and equipment<\/p>\n<\/li>\n digital construction, ConTech and AI<\/p>\n<\/li>\n stone, surfaces and finishes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This is where the future of the built environment connects.<\/p>\n futurebuild.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
