Indian Construction Industry Plays Vital Role in Country's Overall Economic Development


Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Tuesday, September 28, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- "India's forthcoming wave of slick contemporary architecture, beyond office buildings, symbolizes the Asian nation's rocketing economy, which first began to open up 15 years ago. Via a series of superlative skyscrapers, shopping centres and residences that are the tallest, the largest, the greenest, or the first of their kind, the country is quickly presenting itself as a 21st century global power" Business week, India

India is currently the second fastest-growing economy in the World. The Indian construction industry has been playing a vital role in overall economic development of the country, growing at over 20% Compound Annual Growth Rate over the past 5 years and contributing ~8% to GDP.

According to market research conducted by IQPC there is an increasing emphasis on façade design in India's construction sector. The survey highlighted that customers understand the importance of façade sustainability, energy conservation, efficiency, strength, resistance to high speed winds, earthquakes and vibrations, increased acoustic and thermal comfort level of the building and many other factors critical to the building structure and safety.

With new technologies entering the market everyday and in keeping with international trends, façade design has become a basic part and parcel of the design concept and identity of a building, whether commercial, retail, residential or industrial. It is critical to keep pace with the latest trends and technologies for the basic safety and security of a building.

Whilst the two key terms echoing in the industry are energy efficiency and sustainability, the key challenge in India, while working on the "skin of a building", is to meet project deadlines along with controlling cost aspects without compromising on safety and quality.

Therefore IQPC, with the support of Society of Façade Engineering, have launched Façade Design and Engineering India as a platform for developers, architects andfaçades experts from all over the region to engage in a variety of discussions focusing on recent projects, controlling cost aspects, appropriately choosing materials and systems for each façade design, best practice façade designing and engineering for Indian buildings, implementation of modern techniques, materials and technology and effective project management.

International support for the event has come from all aspects of the industry including major solution providers like Aluplex India, Dorma India, Al Abbar, Dow Corning, Alubond, Mulk Holdings, Drillcon, Nina, Eurobond Industries, E I Dupoint, Sika India, Thomas Bennett Gulf, Vijaynath Interiors and Exteriors, GSC Glass and Kalzip - Corus.

Façade Design and Engineering India is a two day conference taking place between 18 & 19 October in Mumbai, dedicated to delivering world class facades through innovative design's and technologies. Through detailed presentations, unique case studies and interactive panel discussions, this vital event will address the critical challenges that must be overcome if sustainable, environmentally sound and cost-effective iconic facade structures are to be delivered
