The shift in Malaysian construction is toward technology, digital tools and sustainability, and the industry’s biggest annual gathering has picked a theme to match: “Beyond Limits.” International Construction Week and BuildXpo Malaysia 2026 runs from 10 to 12 November at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) in Kuala Lumpur.
What is on at International Construction Week & BuildXpo Malaysia 2026?
This is the 28th International Construction Week, hosted by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia, which has run it since 1999. BuildXpo, its official trade exhibition, is in its fourth edition and is managed by Qube Integrated Malaysia. This year it shares the venue with Glasstech Asia and Fenestration Asia (GAFA) 2026.
Expect around 250 exhibitors from 15 countries showing construction technologies, materials and sustainable practices. Organisers are targeting about 17,000 trade visitors. The week also includes technical visits, with Carcosa Seri Negara and Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad among the named stops. The organiser notes that programmes were correct as of 26 October 2026 and may change without notice. Pre-registration is first come, first served, some programmes need paid admission, and sessions are in English unless stated otherwise.
How do I get tickets?
Register through the organiser, Qube Integrated Malaysia, at icw.my. Buy only from that official seller, because resale and unofficial tickets may be refused at the gate.
Getting to MITEC
From Cormar Suites in central Kuala Lumpur, a Grab ride takes about 20 minutes, longer at rush hour. Leave before 8am or after 9.30am to miss the worst of the morning traffic.
