CIOB Construction Expo in March at BMICH

The Ceylon Institute of Builders (CIOB)-organised ‘Construction Expo 2024’ will be held from 15 to 17 March at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial Exhibition Centre in the BMICH.

CIOB said it is the most inclusive exhibition for the construction Industry in Sri Lanka. 

As a proven platform for the promotion of the industry, ‘Construction Expo 2024 by CIOB’ will showcase the latest technology and development added to the building and construction sector with renowned industry experts, stakeholders and decision makers in attendance. 

This will be the ideal event to source new products, networking with new contacts and business opportunities. Trade visitors from Sri Lanka and the neighbouring countries are expected to utilise the event to exhibit their inventive products with new features and visitors will also be looking for the latest, inventive products to improve their building industry projects. 

CIOB is the premier professional body of building and construction professionals in Sri Lanka. The membership of CIOB comprises construction companies, architects, engineers and allied building professionals. CIOB is an affiliated member of the Council of Research and Innovation in Building and Construction in the Netherlands. In addition to disseminating modern building practices among builders and promoting competencies for the builders to reach professional standards, the institute plays a key role in providing feedback to the Government on the policies affecting the industry. 

These activities are carried out through a number of annual programs such as World Construction Symposium with the University of Moratuwa, CIOB Exhibition, Annual Awards Ceremony and Green Mark Accreditation Program for the sustainable construction, Construction Training with Horizon Campus – TRACS Program, Seminars, Sri Lanka ‘Construction Today’ magazine, submission to National Budget on construction industry, and providing assistance on dispute resolution issues among the industry stakeholders between private and statutory organisations through CIOB Mediation program.

CIOB expects to upgrade knowledge and awareness in innovative and environmentally friendly concepts and social responsibility in raising the issues in the construction Industry in Sri Lanka. One such activity is the compilation of the ‘Roadmap for 2024 for the construction industry’, which was handed over to the President Ranil Wickremesinghe to consider implementation. With the consultative status of the Government of Sri Lanka, CIOB makes every endeavour to enhance the Sri Lankan construction industry to its glory once again. One of the major initiatives to continue to support is by organising the Construction Expo 2024 by CIOB. This exhibition will help the enhancement of the entire construction industry in Sri Lanka.
