Who visits The Big 5

Contractors, developers, architects, engineering consultants, MEP specialists, procurement managers and government project owners from the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. Many come with live projects and want to see materials and products up close, compare specifications and meet distributors.

Stand design tips for The Big 5

  • Plan for heavy exhibits. Machinery, stone slabs and façade samples need floor-load checks, delivery slots and sometimes forklifts — tell your stand builder before the design starts.

  • Let people touch the product. Material sample walls, cut-away sections and mock-ups of installed systems work better than graphics alone.

  • Keep specs at hand. Visitors ask technical questions; screens with datasheets and a counter for catalogues keep conversations moving.

  • Meeting space for project talks. Contractors and consultants discuss real tenders, so plan seating away from the aisle.

  • Check your co-located show. Exhibitors in Heavy or Totally Concrete may be in different halls or outdoor areas with their own build rules.

Planning timeline

  • 12 weeks before: confirm space and brief, list heavy exhibits, start design

  • 8–10 weeks before: final design, submit structural drawings, method statements and service orders

  • 4 weeks before: fabrication and graphics, book delivery slots for heavy items

  • Build-up days: on-site installation and handover before opening; dismantling after the show
