Philconstruct emphasizes growth in Mindanao's construction industry
ORGANIZERS of the biggest construction show series in the country announced that it will hold its 7th year in Davao this September. Philconstruct Mindanao will be held at the SMX Convention Center Davao in SM Lanang Premier on September 9 to 11. It will feature more than 100 companies carrying top brands in building materials and construction equipment. Entrance to the expo is free.
“Now is the right time to prioritize the projects in rural areas and other urban cities aside from Metro Manila. Davao has underlying potential to accommodate major PPP project developments, which can be put into action under the new administration,” said Ramon Allado, Event Chairman for Philconstruct Mindanao. Davao City became known to be one of the fastest growing cities in the Philippines and serves as the main trade, commerce and industry center of Mindanao. Of all the regions in Mindanao, Davao Region was nearer the radar of investors as it topped with the highest number of approved projects registering a combined value of P6.335 billion from eight projects, according to the Board of Investments – Mindanao..
“As a very progressive city, Davao is a key location for Philconstruct to aid in the growing demand for infrastructure developments and renovations,” Allado said. “From its conception in 2010, the show has been constantly changing and growing to accommodate more companies to exhibit and trade buyers to visit and network with some of the biggest and most trusted brands in the industry,” he added.
