Futurebuild brings together the entire supply chain, from architects to manufacturers to foster positive business relationships and drive industry-wide change. From concept to completion: Futurebuild unites the key roles in building development.
It’s not just architects who specify, there are many others who have a significant impact on making purchasing decisions. The importance of contractors, developers and facilities managers – in the case of retrofitting existing buildings – as influencers and final decision makers cannot be understated.
74% of attendees play an important role in the decision making process on construction projects. Now that’s an audience with impact.
Specifiers are key to driving innovation in the built environment. Futurebuild’s audience of mobilisers and influencers has the power to make a real impact.
When we say specifiers, we don’t just mean architects—although we do engage with 86% of the top 50 architectural practices. Many collaborative decisions shape construction and retrofit projects.
We had manufacturers Tapeo and Sunamp, who make heat batteries, and many experts across the industries. We discussed making electric heating as flexible as possible to achieve net zero, transitioning from gas to electric heating. This involves coordinating policy, manufacturing, and grid management for industry and consumer benefit. About 50-60 attendees explored decarbonizing their heating systems with options like heat pumps and thermal stores. Futurebuild’s main impact is fostering collaboration and showcasing products, allowing for meaningful discussions and hands-on experiences with new technologies.
Futurebuild is crucial for challenging the status quo and pushing industry boundaries. It connects us with like-minded individuals and customers interested in current and future construction innovations. This platform showcases both readily available innovations and those still in development, highlighting progress over the past 20 years and looking ahead to the next 20.
Futurebuild is a crucial event for Steico UK, allowing us to engage with the architectural and specification communities and those passionate about sustainable building products. It provides valuable insights into market trends, product development, and system innovations. The event is a significant opportunity for learning and collaboration, challenging us and shaping our approach to sustainable construction. We always look forward to attending Futurebuild and making the most of its impact.
Our content serves a purpose beyond checkbox exercises. Our commitment to achieving net-zero is more than just a buzzword, it’s ingrained in our culture and guides every decision we make for the event. But don’t just take our word for it.
