As construction activity accelerates across Saudi Arabia, project teams are under increasing pressure to make informed procurement decisions, comply with evolving regulations and deliver projects efficiently. Addressing these priorities, Big 5 Construct Saudi, taking place from 30 August - 2 September 2026, will bring together more than 1,000 local and international exhibitors, enabling contractors, consultants, engineers and procurement professionals to compare solutions, engage directly with suppliers and identify products aligned with the Kingdom's active construction pipeline.
Saudi manufacturers and suppliers, including Masdar, Al Yamamah Steel Industries, Hussein & AlHassan G. Shaker Bros., CPC Holding and NAFFCO, will showcase products supporting construction materials, structural steel, HVAC technologies, integrated building solutions and fire and life safety systems.
International participation from more than 50 countries further strengthens the exhibition, with companies including Lanmix from Australia, K-Flex Insulation from Egypt, Germany's Masa and Coldrock Europe, Italy's Gibus and Oscam, alongside Al Muqarram, International Code Council (ICC) and Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International from the UAE presenting solutions spanning concrete production, insulation, construction chemicals, building standards and HVAC performance.
The exhibition will also welcome several companies making their Big 5 Construct Saudi debut, including Arkaz, Coastal Contracting, Hamte Group, TotalEnergies, Environment Icon, AlMekyal AlSaudi and Mectco, reflecting continued interest from companies looking to expand their presence within Saudi Arabia's growing construction market.
Commenting on the upcoming edition, Muhammed Kazi, Senior Vice President, dmg events, said, "As Saudi Arabia's construction sector continues to progress at scale, the industry increasingly requires access to reliable suppliers, practical technical expertise and informed discussions around the challenges and opportunities in the built environment. The August edition of Big 5 Construct Saudi brings these elements together, helping contractors, consultants, manufacturers and project owners make confident decisions that support projects across the Kingdom."

Complementing the exhibition, Big 5 Talks will feature more than 30 CPD-certified sessions led by over 50 industry experts, covering topics including the Saudi Building Code, project management, health and safety, sustainability, artificial intelligence, concrete, modular construction and HVACR.
