London Build 2026 to Bring Construction Leaders Together Around Digital Transformation and Sustainable Development

London, UK: The construction and built environment sector is navigating simultaneous demands for greater productivity, stronger safety standards, lower carbon emissions, and faster technology adoption. Against this backdrop, London Build 2026 will bring together construction professionals, technology providers, architects, engineers, developers, and public-sector stakeholders on November 25–26 at Excel London.

The event is expected to attract more than 25,000 attendees and feature 450+ exhibitors and more than 900 speakers across a broad conference program. The 2026 edition will be co-located with elemental LONDON, bringing construction, building services, sustainability, and energy-focused professionals together at the same venue.

Digital transformation will be a significant theme throughout the program, with dedicated sessions addressing AI and digital construction. Topics such as digital twins are particularly relevant as construction organizations increasingly explore connected data environments and digital representations of physical assets to support planning, design, delivery, and building management. The conference will also examine modern methods of construction, architecture, housing, infrastructure, and technology-driven innovation.

Sustainability will feature prominently through both London Build and its co-located elementalLONDON program. Discussions will address net-zero delivery, circular construction, building performance, energy efficiency, and related technologies. Bringing these themes together provides an opportunity to examine sustainability not as a standalone objective but as part of broader decisions around building design, construction methods, operational performance, and asset management.

Building safety will form another important part of the conference agenda. A dedicated Fire Safety Arena will explore developments in fire safety and collaboration, while sessions across the wider program will address health and safety, regulatory requirements, and practical approaches to improving outcomes across construction projects.

The exhibition floor will provide access to technologies, products, and services spanning construction materials, digital construction, fire safety, energy efficiency, building services, and site operations. Confirmed exhibitors include organizations such as ROCKWOOL, RYNO, DUCO, A. Proctor Group, Strongdor, Quelfire, Onetrace, Simpro, Wavin, Saint-Gobain Interior Solutions, and other industry suppliers.

London Build will also emphasize collaboration through networking programs, Meet the Buyers opportunities, an Architect's Hub, a Government Hub, and a dedicated Start-Up Zone. These features create channels for established companies, emerging technology businesses, procurement teams, architects, and public-sector organizations to exchange ideas and explore potential commercial relationships.

The event's conference program will additionally address workforce development, diversity and inclusion, housing delivery, architecture, and the evolving skills required by a technology-enabled construction industry. This broader agenda reflects the interdependence between technology adoption, people, processes, and policy in modern construction.
