BuildUp 2008 will be a concurrent event focusing on Real Estate and property development. Leading builders, property developers and financial institutions across India are taking part in this exhibition.

The Indian real estate is being fuelled by market deregulation and a rapidly expanding middle class. The property market saw more development during the last three years than in the preceding 50 years.

It is with this background, that Build Up 2008–Real Estate Exhibition & Conference focusing on Property Investment and Development has been organized. The conference–Indian Realty Gearing Ahead will focus on Investment opportunities for national and international investors and highlight policy issues.

Building and construction activities worldwide consume 3 billion tons of raw materials each year or 40% of total global use. India’s red-hot real estate market, which witnessed a price spiral of 35 to 50 percent, last year, has created an unprecedented demand for building materials and high-end lifestyle products.

As the real estate sector is estimated to touch US$50 billion by 2009-10 along with the estimated planned investment of US$475 billion over 2007-12 and an expected growth of 7-8% of GDP in India’s infrastructure sector has created a huge business potential in this sector making it an attractive investment destination for the foreign investors. BuildArch 2008 & Build Up 2008, aim to bring under one roof, all the potential developers/ builders and property purchasers offering one-stop-shop solution towards different facets of real estate and construction sector.
