Venue: Codissia Trade Fair Complex, Coimbatore
Organisers: Builders' Association of India; Indian Institute of Architects; Association of Consulting Civil Engineers (India)
Energy and optimism were the buzzwords at BuildMat 2011. Inaugurating the event, Raj Menda, Managing Director, RMZ Corp, commented that the speed of construction is increasing every day and that the next 10 years will see path-breaking sequences in the real-estate sector in the country. According to Y Praveen Chandra Prasad, Chairman, BuildMat 2011, "The show would take visitors into an innovative world of building materials and be the most comprehensive and specialised event in South India at large." To this, S Balasubramanian, Director - Finance, BuildMat 2011, added, "In a country where 75 to 80 per cent of buildings are built by masons or owners with little or no knowledge of construction, shows such as BuildMat would offer insights into better construction practices."
Profit with a purpose
Organised by local chapters of the Builders' Association of India (BAI), the Indian Institute of Architects and the Association of Consulting Civil Engineers (India), BuildMat 2011 showcased products in categories including mechanical and electrical, interiors, furniture and promotions. Also on display were alternative materials and green products, along with electrical, plumbing, sanitary, hardware, air conditioning, marble and granite products, not to mention heavy-duty equipment reserved especially for the outdoor pavilion.
With 405 stalls spread over a fully-air-conditioned display area of one lakh sq ft and over 200 high-quality exhibitors, BuildMat attracted nearly 50,000 participants from industries ranging from brick making to property developing. The fair saw a large contingent of business visitors from Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Mysore and all the neighbouring districts of Coimbatore. Visitors got the opportunity to see a plethora of new technologies, building materials and alternative products. Significantly, the proceeds of the exhibition are going to be ploughed into a training school run by the BAI Coimbatore Centre, which brings out qualified masons, bar benders and carpenters.
