THE International Building Expo is set to open its doors in grand style at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, from August 14 to 17.
Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal, on Thursday, conducted a site visit, expressing satisfaction with the advanced preparations for what promises to be a transformative event for the country’s housing and construction sectors.

According to information from the ministry, Minister Croal highlighted the efforts of the teams working day and night to ensure everything is ready for the expo.
Despite the challenge of coordinating with ongoing cricket events at the stadium, progress has been swift.
“The tents are going up, the various pavilions, etc.,” he noted, confirming that the venue will be prepared on time.
The demand for exhibition space has been exceptionally high, with 95 per cent of booths already booked. This leaves a small window of opportunity for a few remaining smaller booths.
This year’s expo will place a significant emphasis on Guyana’s ongoing transformation and its commitment to biodiversity. Following the nation’s recent hosting of a Global Biodiversity Conference, attendees can expect to see a dedicated focus on environmental sustainability upon entering the expo.
The event will also leverage digital technology, featuring large monitors displaying Guyana’s evolving landscape and the significant transformation occurring across the country.
These displays will highlight the path to “Guyana 2030,” showcasing the ripple effect of the housing and construction sector on national development.
Minister Croal emphasised that the networking opportunities will be a primary highlight of the expo. Visitors will be able to connect with new and experienced players in the industry, gaining insights into the rapid changes taking place in Guyana’s infrastructure.
A cornerstone of the expo will be the “Dream Realised” initiative, focusing on land ownership and title distribution.
Over 2,000 land titles for new areas, including East Coast of Demerara developments. The signing of Agreements of Sale and the processing of titles will take place simultaneously throughout the event, specifically from August 15 to 17.
The International Building Expo aims to be a family-friendly event. Beyond serious business engagements with institutions like banks, insurance companies, construction firms, and consultancy services, there will be increased entertainment options.
While the opening night on August 14 will be formal, subsequent evenings will feature diverse entertainment from 18:00 hours onwards, with a different focus each night. For families with children, additional space has been allocated on the southern side, including food courts.
Addressing past concerns, Minister Croal confirmed that significant improvements have been made to traffic management and parking facilities.
Attendees will have more space for parking, and a smoother flow of traffic is expected. Additionally, exhibitors are being encouraged to adhere to high standards in their presentations, ensuring a valuable experience for all visitors.
The opening ceremony will commence at 17:00 hours. on Thursday, August 14. The expo will then be open to the public until 23:00 hours on subsequent days, offering time for persons to explore and interact.
International Building Expo 2025 is being held under the theme “The Road to Success, Guyana 2030 and Beyond”.
