This event, which is hosted by Lunika Productions, is aimed at facilitating the identification and use of construction business opportunities, development and access to information on counteracting home builders' business challenges.

Home builders in suburban areas need to focus on core competencies to contribute to sustainable building, suburban development, creating employment, skills development and business growth in an increasingly complex building environment. This expo will provide the opportunity for builders to acquire knowledge about building regulations and registration with statutory bodies, contracting, procurement, skills development through new and/or alternative building methods.

The expo will use a realistic business orientated approach to supporting small businesses and developing a culture of entrepreneurship within the construction sector through presentations and an exhibition.

The main objectives of the expo are to:

• improve the quality of services offered to clients;
  
• increase compliance with industry regulations;
  
• promote registration with industry NHBRC, CIDB, SARS etc.;
  
• develop skills through development programmes offered by key stakeholders; and
  
• improve business management skills.
