Building Holland 2012: Benchmark for building and industry

The building plans for the future are changing considerably, with an increasing emphasis on renovation and redevelopment, and fewer new building projects. Moreover, in a shrinking market there is only space for products and services that set themselves apart: smarter, more flexible, more efficient, more sustainable and fewer breakdown costs.

The industry is preparing for these developments with improvements and innovations; cooperation between parties increasingly results in innovations such as integrated building elements, total concepts and more efficient processes (BIM). Research from technical universities, universities for applied research, and knowledge institutes also offers new insights into the application of materials, systems and processes.

Building Holland 2012 combines all these trends and developments under one roof:

  • Exhibitors showcase the very latest technological developments
  • In ‘Live Cases’, companies join forces to present their expertise and demonstrate integrated solutions in the field of Flexibility & Adaptability, Upgrading & Sustainability and Smarter Buildings.
  • ‘Future Labs’ features lectures, workshops and debates that offer insight and inspiration for the building plans and technical solutions of the future.

Individual Exhibiting >>
A basic participation in Building Holland consists of renting stand space, possibly including stand construction. For prices and conditions you can check the registration form. But Building Holland offers you much more than square metres on the exhibition floor alone:
  • Approximately 10,000 visitors in three days with a high level of decision-making power
  • To stimulate the accessibility and sustainability of the event, Building Holland offers visitors a second-class NS return train ticket for only € 7.50 from any station in the Netherlands to and from the RAI
  • A spotlight on your company from January 2012 via 'my pages' and the digital catalogue
  • Free publicity via an extensive press and media campaign, including the use of social media such as Facebook, Twitter and (leading Dutch site) Hyves
  • Digital invitations to invite your relations and monitor their response
  • A spotlight on your company after the exhibition with updates on my pages and the digital catalogue
  • An extensive package of extra publicity options to strengthen your exhibition participation
Participating in a Live Case >>
The unique nature of Building Holland is highlighted by the Live Cases: Demo squares where providers combine their expertise and demonstrate integrated solutions in the field of Flexibility & Adaptability, Upgrading & Sustainability and Smarter Building Intelligence.

A Live Case offers visitors a superb opportunity to inspect, experience and garner one-onone information about the latest examples of integrated solutions.

The collaborating exhibitors in every Live Case will enjoy a very positive exhibition experience: Both the visitors during the exhibitions days and the trajectory before the exhibition will result in numerous valuable face-to-face contacts.

Building Holland initiates, stimulates and facilitates the Live Cases by bringing various parties together and supporting the process; for example by means of lectures, workshops and an intensive media campaign. In short: Participating in a Live Case will generate lots of extra attention and contacts.

If you supply products/services that are in line with sub and total concepts in the field of Flexibility & Adaptability, Upgrading & Sustainability and Smarter Building Intelligence, contact us to find a suitable match in one of the Live Cases.
