Construction expo to be held in March

JAKARTA: A three-day exhibition on building and construction materials will be held at the Jakarta Convention Center starting from March 29, the event organizer said in a statement on Tuesday.

Panorama Convex said that the event, called the Renovation Expo, would be attended by design consultants and contractors, and display building materials and renovation-related goods and services.

"With the recent floods that have hit Jakarta and other major cities in Indonesia, renovation becomes even more indispensable, and there is obviously an increased need for both repairing homes and buildings and making them more flood-resistant," the statement said.

The organizer expects 60,000 visitors, including architects, project owners, developers and house owners, to attend the event. -- JP
