Overview

International Construction Week

The International Construction Week (ICW) is the premier annual event for the construction industry in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. Hosted by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia since 1999 and ICW returns this year for its 27th edition, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, professionals, and innovators to showcase trends, technologies, and opportunities in the built environment. In 2025, ICW marked a significant milestone with its inaugural edition in East Malaysia, known as ICW Borneo, serving as a strategic platform connecting East Malaysia with West Malaysia and international construction markets.

ICW and BuildXpo 2026 drive the industry to break boundaries through innovation, collaboration, and digitalization. Anchored by the theme ‘Beyond Limits’, the event sets the stage for new technologies, smarter infrastructure and technical knowledge exchange that are transforming the built environment and driving a resilient and sustainable future.

International Building and Construction Exhibition

BuildXpo Malaysia, organised by Qube Integrated Malaysia Sdn Bhd, is the official trade exhibition of ICW, and served as a pivotal hub for industry leaders, innovators, and professionals across Malaysia and the region since its launch in 2023. It has recorded steady growth in trade value, exhibitor participation, and visitor turnout over the past three editions. The show is a dynamic marketplace where exhibitors present the latest construction technologies, materials, and sustainable practices, fostering high-value business opportunities and collaborations.

With a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and industry growth, BuildXpo addresses the evolving needs of the sector by offering a platform for business exchange, knowledge-sharing, trend exploration, and solutions that enhance efficiency. Leveraging Malaysia’s strategic position as a regional hub, BuildXpo connects ASEAN’s construction market with global expertise and innovations. Each edition builds on its success, reinforcing its role as a catalyst for progress and collaboration in the industry.

Aligned with Malaysia’s vision to modernise the construction sector, BuildXpo champions sustainable development, inclusivity, latest technology in construction and talent empowerment, shaping the next generation of industry leaders.
