Philconstruct, the sourcing platform for the building and construction industry, is set to make its grand return to the Mindanao Region for its 13th annual event. Scheduled from Sept. 5–7, 2024, this premier expo will be held at the SMX Convention Center Davao, SM Lanang. The event will feature over 500 booths, showcasing more than 750 brands across 10,000 square meters of exhibition space, with a special outdoor display featuring over 120 construction equipment.
