UK Construction Week returns on 12–14 May 2026 at Excel London with a clear message: this is not business as usual.
After a period of rapid change across the built environment, UKCW has been fundamentally rethought to reflect how the industry now works and where it is heading next.
The 2026 edition represents a decisive shift in focus, placing innovation, relevance and meaningful connection at the centre of the experience.

Rather than simply expanding what has come before, UKCW 2026 has been rebuilt around how construction professionals discover new products, evaluate solutions and form partnerships that genuinely move projects forward.
A New Structure for a Changing Industry
The most visible change for 2026 is the introduction of seven new, purpose-built worlds, each designed as an immersive destination within the show.
These worlds are not defined by product categories alone, but by the real challenges, opportunities and decisions facing the construction sector.
Together, they bring the entire ecosystem into focus, from materials and systems to technology, delivery and performance.
Across the show, visitors can expect:
• Innovation framed around real-world application
• Deeper technical insight from industry specialists
• Direct access to solutions shaping the next decade of the built environment
The aim is simple: to create an experience where conversations are more informed, connections are more relevant and time spent on site delivers tangible value.
Beyond the Exhibition Floor
UKCW 2026 also introduces a more considered approach to content, networking and engagement.
Next-generation conference stages will host major industry voices, offering perspectives on the forces reshaping construction, from regulation and sustainability to digital transformation and skills.
Specialist hubs and features provide focused environments tailored to specific roles and interests, making it easier for visitors to navigate the show and engage with content that matters to them.
The future of UK Construction Week is live.
