Futurebuild and UK Construction Week London to co-locate in 2026

Futurebuild and UK Construction Week London will come together from 12-14 May 2026, creating a new national platform for the built environment at Excel London.

The collaborative co-location will form the UK’s Built Environment Super Event, designed to reflect the full scale, complexity and ambition of an industry facing unprecedented change.

Together, the events will bring 25,000 built environment professionals, 600+ exhibitors and 700+ speakers across 10 dedicated stages under one roof – making it the largest and most comprehensive construction event in the UK calendar.

While collaborating closely, UK Construction Week London and Futurebuild will retain their own powerful identities, communities and curated content, ensuring clarity of purpose alongside the benefits of scale and connection.

• Futurebuild will remain a leading event for sustainability, net zero and innovation in the built environment. It will continue to deliver highly respected CPD-accredited content, connecting architects, designers, local authorities and developers with ideas and solutions driving low-carbon construction, circular materials and large-scale retrofit. This leadership is anchored by The National Retrofit Conference, a flagship forum for policymakers, housing providers and net zero leaders.
• UK Construction Week London will continue to champion the practical delivery of construction projects, bringing a hands-on, solutions-led focus to the industry. The event connects contractors, housebuilders, trades and engineers with the tools, systems and skills needed on site, supported by live demonstrations, immersive features and CPD-accredited content grounded in real-world delivery.

Alongside Futurebuild and UK Construction Week London, The Stone & Surfaces Show will also take place at Excel London. Its inclusion strengthens the event’s materials and interiors offer, creating new opportunities for crossover between design, specification and installation.

This collaboration responds directly to the industry’s call for greater cohesion, clearer leadership and more connected experiences, at a time when meeting net zero targets, modernising skills and decarbonising the built environment have never been more urgent.

Martin Hurn, Event Director, Futurebuild commented: “This is about creating one connected platform that reflects how the industry actually works – from vision to specification to delivery.

“Futurebuild will continue to lead on sustainability and long-term systems thinking, and collaborating with UK Construction Week London enables us to extend that influence into the practical, on-site world, turning ideas into real impact across the supply chain.”

Sam Patel, Divisional Director, UK Construction Week London, added: “UK Construction Week London has always championed scale, experience and solutions that matter to those delivering projects on the ground. Collaborating with Futurebuild and The Stone & Surfaces Show unlocks new depth and strategic value, creating a destination that is richer, more relevant and more valuable to every part of the built environment.”
