ARCHIBUILT

Since inception 21 years ago, Archibuilt has continued to provide a platform for key players in the building industry (from concept/design to construction, to finishing) to showcase innovations in their products and services that promote quality, safety, style and elegance in the built environment. It is thus very important that your esteemed organisation should stand up to be counted among Nigeria’s best in your chosen area of operation.

Participants and visitors to the event include the leading architects, builders, policy makers, town planners, and companies whose products/services impact the built environment directly or indirectly in Nigeria and West Africa. This year’s event will feature special participants and delegations form some key European and Asian countries. The City Renewal Programmes of many state governments is a major attraction and promises a pending boom in the Building Construction and Housing industry in Nigeria. Little wonder, this year, we are focusing on the very critical aspect of policy engineering in our workshop series.
