The Big 5 Construct India Show
Innovative Construction Technology Enters Indian Market Delivering New Levels of Safety, Speed and Savings
It takes time to change the habit of a lifetime, and in their push to persuade Indian contractors to use new technology, suppliers know that better than anyone.
On the one hand, India makes headlines for innovative new projects, such as the use of pre-fabricated materials in the Instacon building in Chandigarh, where a ten-storey tower was erected in just 48 hours last December.
On the other side, the collapse of a residential building in Mumbai in April, killing over 70 people, gives rise to searching questions about safety standards, construction practices and regulatory oversight in the country - and not for the first time.
The industry may have struggled financially over the past two years, but is still worth more than US$400 billion, which has been the impetus behind the Big 5 Construct India event. In its push for innovative, high-tech and sustainable products and technology, The Big 5 hopes that India's good headlines can soon outweigh the bad.
