With more than R200 billion earmarked for infrastructure development in KwaZulu-Natal over the next seven years and R35 billion set aside for the Port Waterfront development over the next 15 years, the province is fast becoming a construction hot spot.
It’s against this backdrop that industry experts will gather at the KZN Construction Expo which will be taking place at Durban Exhibition Centre in Durban from 20 to 21 February 2019. The event, which is the only dedicated expo for the province’s built environment, focuses on buyer and seller engagements through free-to-attend practical training, CPD accredited workshops, live product demonstrations and face-to-face interactions.According to the event organisers the platform not only facilitates new investment into infrastructure but also builds capacity for local construction professionals through free education and technical skills development during training workshops over the two days.
