Sustainable Building Congress 2025

The Construmat congress is the stage and loudspeaker for sustainable building themes and projects that are global pioneers and agenda-setters for the construction industry.

The main purpose of the Sustainable Building Congress is to represent and give a voice to all the collective efforts of the construction sector and the innovations it’s making to adapt and overcome the current challenges in the field of sustainability, the sustainable development of the needs of our society and the compatibility of our existence with increasingly evident environmental restrictions.

With over 2,000 attendees in 2024, the Sustainable Building Congress has consolidated itself as the must-visit forum for knowledge, debate and reflection for the entire construction ecosystem. Each year it brings together architects, engineers, builders, developers, manufacturers and so on.

For the 2025 programme we’re searching for projects that address one of these 3 themes:  Bio-habitability and health, Social housing, Artificial intelligence.

Register your project to ensure that it features at the congress that leads the debate on the transformation of the industry.
