Online poll reveals that 63 per cent of the construction industry rate David Cameron's Conservative policies over Gordon Brown's Labour government.
The contractor will find HardiSoffit light and easy to work with, rendering it possible to realise the architect's designs.
It is sustainable due to its low maintenance requirements, resistant to scratching and will not peel, chip or crack as other exterior soft materials do.
HardiPanel is a vertical siding for exterior protection and decoration.
It is available in a choice of smooth or stuccoed texture for modern building designs, and the more traditional conceptions and refurbishments.
It has the durability to stand up to the toughest climate conditions and is resistant to fire and insect damage.
Installation of HardiPanel is quick and simple, with sawing, cutting and nailing all straightforward and mess-free tasks for the installer.
Manufactured from engineered composite cement, it is durable, resistant to peeling, cracking and chipping, while its low maintenance requirements mean that, unlike stucco, its natural texture retains its appearance for years with very little cleaning and maintenance or reparation of cracks.
Rob Middleton, UK Country Manager for James Hardie Europe, said: "These products underline the breadth of the James Hardie offering for architects and housebuilders, as well as for the contractor and installer - demonstrating the company's expertise as a technical innovator.
"Their introduction follows an upward trend in the market for more durable and aesthetically pleasing products.
The product offering is underpinned by the support we are able to offer our distribution and business partners." Gordon Thomas, Interbuild Event Director, said the products were just one of many new solutions which will be showcased at the exhibition.
"Interbuild 2006 will be at the heart of innovation for the construction industry and will be the best place to see all the latest tools and products for the building sector," he said.
"The event allows visitors to compare all the new products from the sector, all under one roof, and exhibitors can meet their potential customers face-to-face - which is an invaluable marketing opportunity." More than 44,000 trade professionals attended Interbuild when it was last held in 2004 and together they represented a combined buying power of around £24.5billion.
