London Build Expo 2025 Celebrates a Decade of Innovation and Growth
London Build Expo 2025 is gearing up for its biggest edition yet as it marks 10 years of shaping and connecting the UK’s built environment. Taking place at Olympia’s Grand and National Halls on 19–20 November, this milestone event promises two days packed with networking, cutting-edge innovation, and industry-wide collaboration.
A Decade of Growth and Influence
Since its inception, London Build has carved out a reputation as the UK’s leading construction event, bringing together the full spectrum of the built environment. The 2025 edition is set to surpass all previous years, attracting over 38,000 attendees, 450+ exhibitors, and an impressive line-up of more than 750 speakers across 12 CPD-accredited stages.
The event is more than just an exhibition. It has become a hub where contractors, architects, developers, policymakers, and engineers converge to share ideas, showcase new technology, and shape the future of the construction sector.
Industry Heavyweights in Attendance
This year’s delegate list reads like a who’s who of the construction world. Contractors confirmed to attend include AECOM, Balfour Beatty, BAM Construct UK, Galliford Try, Kier Group, Laing O’Rourke, Mace, McLaren Construction, Morgan Sindall, Sir Robert McAlpine, Skanska UK, VolkerWessels UK, Wates Group and Willmott Dixon.
Architectural giants will also take centre stage, with Foster + Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects, Grimshaw, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, David Chipperfield Architects, WilkinsonEyre, and Sheppard Robson among the leading practices represented.
Developers and housebuilders will include household names such as Barratt Developments, Berkeley Group, Persimmon Homes, Taylor Wimpey, and Redrow, alongside housing associations and investment firms like L&Q Group and Legal & General Homes.

Government and Public Sector Engagement
London Build has always stood out for bridging the gap between industry and government. The 2025 show will continue that tradition, with attendees from the Greater London Authority, Homes England, Transport for London, Network Rail, National Highways, and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. Local authorities such as Westminster and Southwark are also expected to play an active role in discussions.
This blend of public and private stakeholders ensures the event remains a platform where big-picture infrastructure plans meet practical delivery expertise.
Exhibitors Showcasing New Technology
Beyond the networking opportunities, London Build 2025 will showcase some of the most exciting products and innovations in construction and infrastructure. Exhibitors range from international giants to specialist suppliers, with names including Acrow Bridge, Chevron, Sherwin-Williams, Skanska, Saint-Gobain, Toyota, and Wates Group.
Notably, technology and digital transformation will be at the forefront, with exhibitors such as Houzz Pro and Howdens highlighting how data-driven tools and connected platforms are transforming project delivery and client engagement.
Knowledge Sharing and CPD Opportunities
One of the standout features of London Build is its educational offering. With 12 dedicated CPD stages, the conference provides attendees with free-to-access sessions covering topics such as sustainability, digital construction, architecture, infrastructure, skills development, and equality in the workplace.
The 2025 programme will place a particular emphasis on sustainability, modern methods of construction, and the role of technology in delivering net zero goals. Attendees can expect panel debates, keynote addresses, and technical sessions designed to offer practical insight and spark debate across the industry.
Community and Networking at the Core
London Build has built its reputation on being more than just a trade show. It’s known for its community-driven approach, creating spaces where professionals can meet, collaborate, and build long-term partnerships.
From networking hubs and industry meet-ups to diversity celebrations and informal social events, the 2025 edition will provide countless opportunities for connection. The organisers are keen to highlight that inclusivity and community spirit remain at the heart of the event.
Why London Build Matters
The UK construction sector is facing both opportunities and challenges: from the demand for new housing and infrastructure to the pressing need to decarbonise and innovate. London Build acts as a critical meeting point where these issues are addressed collectively.
For many professionals, the show offers a chance to see emerging technologies in action, learn from industry leaders, and connect with potential partners or clients. For policymakers, it is an opportunity to hear directly from the people tasked with delivering the UK’s ambitious infrastructure pipeline.
