Innovative approaches in the construction sector will be on display for the Building Expo 2013 according to Housing Minister, Irfaan Ali.
As investors, consumers and exhibitors flock to the Guyana National Stadium from July 5, expectations are sure to be met as the Building Expo team is working into overdrive to build on the successes of previous shows.
He noted that even though the construction sector is currently booming, the changing demands for traditional construction materials and existing shortages are challenging the Ministry to examine innovative solutions.
“In this Building Expo we will have to look at new materials, innovation, new methods and techniques to be used in the construction sectors, so we can expose the people to a wide array of possibilities that exist in the construction sector,” Minister Ali explained.
Ali said that this year’s event will also be geared towards consolidating the various partnerships the Housing Ministry has forged over the past years to ensure that citizens benefit from secure and sustainable development.
“The Ministry has commenced the necessary preparatory work for the staging of another successful building expo. The Ministry was planning to skip the event, but the private sector has indicated its readiness for another expo and the pressure was on us as private sector companies have already budgeted for their participation in this event,” Ali stated.
The Minister also reminded of the important role the building and construction sector is playing in the expansion of Guyana’s economy, with its significant contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
He said, “This brings with it tremendous benefits and create a lot of employment opportunities and it has allowed skilled personnel to be actively utilized within the economy.
He explained that the benefits and rewards of the annual Building and Construction Expo are evident in the many success stories of ordinary people who started as sole traders and small entrepreneurs and for consumers who have been exposed to lucrative deals and special discounts at the event.
Now in its fourth year, the highly anticipated event brings together homeowners, prospective homeowners, representatives of the local construction, manufacturing and services sectors, as well as international participants from around the world.
