Organized by the Philippine Constructors Association (PCA) in partnership with the Cebu Contractors Association (CCA) and managed by Philconstruct Events, Exhibitions, and Conference Corp. (PEECC), the 14th edition of the trade show will feature 6,000-square meters of exhibit space with 300+ top-tier brands and an expected more 7,000 trade buyers and professionals.
“We are building not just structures, but a stronger, more resilient industry. Through the PCA’s Industry 2030 Roadmap, sustainability programs, and regional collaborations like this, we ensure growth happens from the ground up and that means here in Cebu and across the Visayas,” PCA President Engr. Jerry Pancho said during the launching on Wednesday, June 4.
Engr. Kevin Lim, CCA Vice President for Internal Affairs, reinforced the strength of Cebu’s construction sector, noting the city’s vital role as a regional hub for innovation and technical excellence.
“We are proud of the builders and talent coming from the Visayas. Philconstruct is not just an exhibit, it’s a celebration of Filipino quality and craftsmanship,” Lim said.
One of the show’s highlights is the Technoforum.
PEECC Director Engr. Ronaldo “Jun” Elepano said the forum is aimed at upskilling the industry with sessions on green building, artificial intelligence construction, and digital transformation.
“We want every participant to walk away not just with products but with ideas and tools that shape how we build tomorrow.”
Engr. Ruben Cueto, chairman of Philconstruct 2025, noted inclusive reach of the event’s nationwide rollout across Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, and Metro Manila.
“By bringing Philconstruct to the regions, we create access to opportunity. Events like this energize local ecosystems and give voice to the builders beyond Metro Manila,” he said.
He emphasized the value of education-driven programming, with seminars like Construction Contracts empowering professionals to make smarter, more secure business decisions.
Event chairman Engr. Bernard Vonn Sia reflected on how the trade show has grown.
“From a small initiative to a major regional showcase, Philconstruct Visayas has matured. This year, we’ve introduced smarter features, new technologies, and stronger collaborations with organizations like UAP, PICE, PIID, and ACEL. We’re no longer just keeping up, we’re helping set the standard,” he said.
