In a landmark move for the UK construction sector, UK Construction Week London and Futurebuild will come together from 12\u201314 May 2026, creating a new national platform for the built environment at Excel London.<\/p>\n
The collaborative co-location will form the UK\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 25,000 built environment professionals, 600+ exhibitors and 700+ speakers across 10 dedicated stages under one roof \u2013 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, UK 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 will 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 The National Retrofit Conference, a flagship forum for policymakers, housing providers and Net Zero leaders.<\/p>\n
UK Construction Week London will 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
Expanding the materials and finishes offer<\/p>\n
Alongside Futurebuild and UK Construction Week London, The Stone & Surfaces Show will 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 greater 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 Futurebuild\u2019s sustainability leadership and systems-level thinking, UK Construction Week London\u2019s scale and delivery focus, and The Stone & Surfaces Show\u2019s specialist materials expertise, the co-located event creates a 360-degree experience \u2014 from vision and innovation through to specification, materials and on-site implementation.<\/p>\n
Martin Hurn, Event Director, Futurebuild, commented: \u201cThis is about creating one connected platform that reflects how the industry actually works \u2013 from vision to specification to delivery.<\/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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a landmark move for the UK construction sector, UK Construction Week London and Futurebuild will come together…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":696353,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,393,4884,257,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-696352","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-london","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115895914217273351","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=696352"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696352\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/696353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=696352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=696352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=696352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
