Saudi Build 2026 is scheduled for 2 to 5 November 2026 at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center (RICEC), Saudi Arabia. Organised by dmg events, Saudi Build is the region’s longest-running construction trade exhibition, covering structural and architectural building materials, windows and facades, interior finishes, water and sanitary systems, stone technology, and construction machinery.
Indian passport holders can apply for a Saudi visit visa — the Saudi e-Visa (tourist) for eligible travellers, or a commercial / business visit visa for trade activity, which usually requires an invitation from a Saudi company. Check the official Saudi eVisa portal and the mission before you travel.
The event
About Saudi Build 2026
Saudi Build groups the construction supply chain into focused sections and runs alongside co-located shows for stone technology, PMV (plant, machinery and vehicles) and interiors. It is closely tied to Saudi Arabia’s large pipeline of Vision 2030 construction and infrastructure projects.
For Indian building-materials manufacturers and exporters, Saudi Build is a direct route to Saudi contractors, developers and distributors at a time of very high construction activity. For Indian contractors and consultants, it is a way to compare products and technology for Saudi projects.
