Construction Show Cebu remains relevant at 25

Marking its milestone at 25, Construction Show Cebu (CEBUCON) is set to take the center stage at the Sky Hall and Mountain Wing Atrium in SM Seaside City Cebu from June 2 to 5, 2017.

With the theme “25 Years of Building Business Networks in the Construction Industry in the Southern Philippines,” CEBUCON remains relevant by showcasing product solutions, innovations and expertise that meet the current and future demands of the industry in the region. It was first conceived and organized in 1993 to be aligned with the vision that Cebu will become a major gateway of trade and tourism in the region.

CEBUCON organizer L.A. Ducut & Co. Inc.’s managing director Lilibeth D. Abais said that this milestone event is evident that CEBUCON delivers its commitment to be a vital trade link between suppliers and their market in the region’s construction industry as the popular venue for product displays, launchings, market tests and networking among industry trade professionals, suppliers and stakeholders.

One of CEBUCON’s pioneer and regular exhibitors, Manilabased industrial and power tools distributor Elektro Werk Inc. (EWI) president James N. Tan stated that “with the exposures we have at CEBUCON it had contributed to our business growth. CEBUCON, as always, is beyond showcasing. Its organizer, L.A. Ducut & Company, Inc. extends value-added services to both its exhibitor and visitor markets even beyond the event.”

Cebu Belmont Inc.’s vice president for operations Engr. Felomino D. Ang, shared the same opinion: “It truly understands the local market, especially Cebu and the Visayas.” This is one of the reasons why their company have been consistently collaborating their exhibit participation at the CEBUCON with their principals and suppliers.

One of its consistent trade visitor, United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) national auditor Architect Eldred Caesar I. Tan commented that “the Construction Show Cebu is an innovator and in the forefront of this kind of exhibition in the part of the country. It has showcased materials, tools and equipment and have provided for intellectual stimulation by holding seminars attended by architects, engineers and allied professionals. CEBUCON has benefited not only those directly involved in the construction industry but also the home and building owners in particular and the general public.”

A first timer to CEBUCON is Architechnologies Inc. to introduce its new software to the local market. “The ProgeCAD Professional 2018 is our next generation of alternative CAD product in the market, set to handle bigger sized files, this is the best version yet. We believe the event is an excellent venue to launch the latest offering of ProgeCAD,” stated technical director Ar. Dennis S. Mayo. “It is our belief that there are still a lot of professional who need the benefit of an affordable CAD package. We believe that CEBUCON also carries that belief of sincerely serving the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry and with this partnership, we are tapping the potentials and networks unreachable to us (at the Architechnologies),” he added. As construction is a booming industry across the country.

These prospects open new opportunities for L.A. Ducut & Co. Inc. to make CEBUCON more responsive to the needs of the local construction industry. The exhibit’s major cooperating agency is the Hardwares Consolidated Inc.
