Interbuild 2008 (Sunday 26th - Thursday 30th October) is playing host to industry heavyweights in a specially created outside area at the NEC.
Major players from all around the globe will be at the NEC from April 23-27, brought together to showcase their off-site products in a dedicated arena.
Said Gordon Thomas, Interbuild 2006 Event Director: "Interbuild always reflects the hottest topics in construction and as off-site is possibly the most discussed subject, it is only right that we should have a major commitment to that zone".
"We are working in partnership with industry pioneers, Mtech Group, and by developing a host of complementary activities, this zone is sure to attract enormous attention." The collaboration between Interbuild and Mtech will ensure that the zone focuses on key off-site industry developments and provides a comprehensive and balanced perspective of the rapidly emerging supply-chain sector".

"Added Gordon: "Visitors to Interbuild will be able to stroll through the zone, experience a wide range of off-site technology and view for themselves the major advances this manufacturing sector has made in recent years".
These innovations will include framing systems in concrete, timber and steel; modular and volumetric systems; bathroom and kitchen pods; a range of pre-engineered building components, pre-engineered building services; and other complementary technologies such as precast foundation systems".
"Said Darren Richards, managing director of Mtech Group: "By using the latest manufacturing and materials technologies, off-site construction is setting new standards in fast, cost-effective, quality building that is conducive to enhanced sustainability.
It performs better in service and supports imaginative design solutions".
"But there is a lack of awareness in the construction industry about the systems and products available and how they can benefit a whole range of sectors in the built environment, such as health, education and housing".
"Interbuild 2006 will have a huge role to play in raising that awareness - as the show did in 2004 - and it's important for key figures in construction to recognise the opportunity it offers and make time to go and see for themselves how this aspect of the industry is evolving".
"The daunting challenge for the construction industry is to meet demand while at the same time becoming more productive".
"Off-site construction clearly has a pivotal role to play in that regard".
The impressive line-up of companies exhibiting in the Off-Site Solutions Zone includes Kingspan Offsite, Corus, Bathsystem Europe, Cadolto, Ensuite Solutions, Britspace Modular Building Systems, Pre-cast Concrete Structures, EJ Badekabiner, Elements UK and Polarwall.
