The Chamber of Construction Industry of Sri Lanka (CCI Sri Lanka) last week hoisted the Southern Build Expo with high institutional acclaim at the Galle Municipal Hall from 16 to 18 October.

The premier housing, construction, and trade fair was officially inaugurated by Chief Guest Galle District Senior DIG H.C.A. Pushpakumara, and Guest of Honour CCI Sri Lanka President-Elect Prof. Ranjith Dissanayake.

The event brought together leading industry stakeholders, public officials, corporate partners, and key sponsors under the core theme, "Building Today, For Better Tomorrow."

Chief Guest Senior DIG H.C.A. Pushpakumara praised CCI Sri Lanka for bringing high-level commercial development infrastructure to the Southern Province. He emphasised that a regulated, modern, and thriving construction sector plays a direct role in elevating community safety, local employment, and regional economic stability.

Guest of Honour Prof. Ranjith Dissanayake highlighted the trade fair's critical timing. He detailed how the exposition bridges the gap between raw material suppliers, engineering innovators, and everyday homeowners.

"The Southern Build Expo 2026 isn't just about selling stalls—it is an active sandbox for green construction, renewable energy integration, and smart home technology designed to modernise Sri Lankan infrastructure from the ground up," he added.

The trade fair featured specialised pavilions detailing diverse market sectors:

Eco-Friendly Infrastructure: Showcasing green construction methods, solar solutions, and renewable energy technology.
Raw Materials and Machinery: Highlighting innovative building components, tools, heavy machinery, and transport vehicles.
Architecture and Consultation: Providing direct access to engineering solutions, architectural drafting, and project management experts.
Home and Interior: Spotlighting household goods, interior layout décor, plumbing, and modern sanitary installations.

CCI Sri Lanka noted that the overwhelming corporate response underscored the strong commercial confidence in the expanding Southern retail and industrial real estate landscape.

The exposition offered free public entrance, exclusive product launches, and B2B networking spaces for domestic contractors.
