The Cambodia Constructors Association (CCA) organised its 6th Annual Summit together with the 4th Cambodia Construction Industry Expo 2017 on 30 November-2 December. This year’s trade hosted at the Diamond Island Convention and Exhibition Centre in Phnom Penh, Cambodia built on the success of previous years to cement its place as the nation’s premier construction and property sector event.

This year’s trade show attracted high-profile industry reps from around the globe and showcased a huge range of leading global and local building and property brands.

Supported by the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, the three-day CCA-backed building show displayed over 300 booths featuring around 600 different products by producers from around the globe.

At this year’s exposition, there were a total of 168 local and international firms who participated to showcase a wide variety of building materials and technology, property development projects and services related to the construction and property sectors, including from real estate agencies, banks and insurers. About 5,000 visitors joined the sector-leading event providing the exhibitors and visitors great opportunities for seeking business opportunities.

“This remarkable event offers opportunities to buyers, sellers, contractors, developers, and investors to seek representative partners directly,” Neak Oknha Pung Kiev Se, Chairman of CCA said during the expo’s inauguration.

According to the Chairman, the expo proves the development and investment potentials of Cambodia’s construction sector.

“The CCA arranges its annual summit which is also attached with the Cambodia Construction Industry Expo and business-networking event to offer opportunities for association members and other people with business or professions relevant to the construction sector to meet and discuss closely with other businesspersons so that they can understand the demand and supply in Cambodia,” he explained.

The association has more than 113 members who play a crucial role in bringing Cambodia’s construction industry to new heights.

“The CCA continues to organise landmark events, providing an excellent platform for the exchange of views and ideas between representatives of the government, the private sector and civil society and also as a way for International Federation Asian & Pacific Constructors’ Association (IFAWPCA) to get to know the construction fraternity in Cambodia better,” said Datuk Mattew Tee president of IFAWPCA.

The CCA joined as a member of IFAWAPCA on 6 February 2015 in Kuala Lumpur during 38th IFAWPCA Mid Term Executive Board Meeting,” he added.

Dr Tan Monyvann, a representative of CCA Secretary-General Mong Retthy, emphasised that,“the program offers opportunities for national and international construction firms to exhibit construction plans and materials, and we want more people involved in the field to learn more.”

Last year, the CCA hosted the 3rd Cambodia Construction Industry Expo 2016 on 1-3 December 2016, at Diamond Island Convention and Exhibition Centre. The previous year’s expo featured 300 booths and welcomed approximately estimated 4000 participants.

Chiv Siv Pheng, exhibition organiser and an assistant to CCA Chairman Neak Oknha Pung Khiev Se said that the 2017 event was much bigger than last year’s, with 36 foreign firms attending this year. “The number of construction projects has increased by 27 percent over the last 10 months,” he said.
