Despite the dismal home construction related news in North America, Bangalore, India, is experiencing the opposite scenario with strong home and commercial building activity to meet demand. No wonder that it will be the site of Build Floor 2011, taking place February 23 through 26, 2011.
Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of the East and is home to many major technology companies. Starting with the boom of the technology industry in the early 90s, Bangalore continues to grow in population as does its commercial and residential infrastructure.
[This Wall Street Journal Online article titled "Where the Rich Live in India" offers perspective on the range of luxurious residential building projects in the works. You can well imagine what commercial projects might look like and the types of flooring they might call for...]
Bangalore's continued growth has led to opportunities in the construction and real estate markets so it makes sense that there would be a forum for buyers in India to source new products, meet with potential suppliers in the building and flooring industry as well as gather information on new and innovative products.
Enter Build Floor 2011, an exhibit which focuses on carpeting, flooring and floor covering trends and products for the Indian flooring trade - architects, interior designers, property developers, decision makers from the flooring retail and many other sectors of the flooring market. It is organized in five sections as follows:
* Parquet & Laminated Flooring
* Resilient Floor Coverings
* Textile Floor Coverings & Rugs
* Natural Stones
* lApplication & Installation Technology
What makes Build Floor 2011 particularly interesting is that it will run concurrently with BuildArch 2011 and Build Up 2011, which focus on Real Estate and Construction. The three events take place February 23-26, 2011 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre.
This biennial event that was founded in 2008 will also attract regional engineers, retail companies, architects, designers, contractors as well as project managers and consultants in India. The event is organized by Bangalore International Exhibition Services and Hannover Milano Fairs India PVT. Ltd. It is endorsed by the Confederation of Indian Industry which is a non-profit association dedicated to the development of India.
