The Build Show, sponsored by Easy-trim, focuses on construction products and is aimed at all levels and all trades from corporate housebuilders to tradespeople and contractors. The range of products represented is divided in to four product zones, Health & Safety, Tools, Roofing & Insulation and Windows & Doors. Among its four separate seminar theatres is the Development & Innovation Hub looking at specific regional projects across the UK. The BRE is also actively involved hosting the BIM Prospects Theatre, looking in depth at Building Information Modelling from a number of different angles.

Timber Expo covers multiple timber applications from timber frame through to cladding, not only from the UK but an increasingly diverse international market. One of the talking points is likely to be the creative installation by the students at the Architectural Association's School of Architecture, in associated with TRADA and sponsored by Hanson Plywood.
