Melbourne to Host Week of Built Environment Events in May 2022
Lakisha Di Valentino | 21 Mar 2022
BE Summit, DesignBUILD, Total Facilities and Digital Construction Week Together Under One Roof
In an Australian first, the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention centre will host a week of events for professionals across the built environment from May 10-13. Covering industries ranging from planning and construction to technology and facilities management, DesignBUILD, Total Facilities, the Be Summit and Digital Construction Week will join forces to create a unique built environment event for Melbourne.
Commercial Manager, Lynn Ormiston, said the past two years has allowed time to create a new whole-of-industry style approach to these events. “With the rise of Building Information Management (BIM) systems, the various built environment sectors have become increasingly interdependent, so cross sector knowledge is more important than ever,” she said. “We have collected feedback and fine-tuned these events so this year we are confident of delivering an exceptional experience for both exhibitors and attendees,” she said. The event also brings together all the major built environment industry groups with partner including the Australian Construction Industry Forum (ACIF), Australian Institute of Building (AIB), Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS), National Precast Concrete Association Australia, Women in BIM, Green Building Institute and the Facility Management Association of Australia (FMA).
