Kathmandu, Oct. 28:

The Building and Construction Expo 2075 will be organised at the Bhrikutimandap Exhibition Centre from November 22-25.

The exhibition is being organised with the vision of bringing the industry stakeholders and consumers together under one roof and assist them in making informed decision about building and construction works, materials and designs.

According to him, the fair will not be used only for exhibiting products and selling items, but also be used as a platform to assist in addressing the concerns of communities in building and construction. It is a platform to showcase available building materials and construction technologies and create awareness for their suitable and prudent application.

Land and housing, cement, furniture and furnishing, pipe and fittings, electrical and electronics, iron and steel, bricks and marbles, paints, interior designers, roof and flooring, sanitary and tiles, home security system, solar, heavy equipment and prefab companies will participate in the  four-day fair.

It will also feature earthquake resistance home, bank and insurance, vastu and contractors, developers, architect and engineers.
