KEYWORD 01
#Cost Efficiency
OSC(Modular & Precast Construction)

Off-Site Construction(OSC) refers to construction methods in which building components are manufactured in a factory and then transported to the site for assembly. Among these methods, modular construction is gaining attention as a key technology for the future of construction, thanks to its speed, cost-efficiency, and consistent quality.
Because the modules are prefabricated off-site, it significantly reduces on-site labor requirements and construction time, leading to higher productivity and substantial cost savings compared to traditional building methods.
At KOREA BUILD WEEK, the modular construction industry—at the forefront of the future construction market—will be highlighted through special exhibitions and technical sessions.

  • Modular Street : On-site display of real modular buildings and live demonstrations of the latest technologies
  • International OSC Conference : Strategies and solutions to accelerate the adoption of modular construction
  • Modular Housing Seminar: Case-based insights into modular housing, from design to implementation
DIY Interior Design

We’ve entered an era where even “home styling consultations” are gaining popularity. Instead of large-scale renovations, a new trend is all about making small changes that reflect personal taste and emotion. DIY interior design now means more than just saving money—it’s about the joy and freedom of creating your own space, and the sense of healing that comes with it.
If you’re planning your own DIY interior project, get inspired at the special exhibitions of KOREA BUILD WEEK.

  • INTERIOR DESIGN KOREA : A wide variety of materials like flooring, wallpaper, and tiles—perfect for DIY-friendly installations
  • CONSTRUCTION TOOLS PAVILION : Featuring leading brands in power and hand tools, essential for anyone starting DIY projects or home repairs
KEYWORD 02
#Sustainability
Timber Construction

Timber construction is gaining global attention as a sustainable and future-forward building method. In Korea, government support—including standardized cost guidelines and tax incentives—is accelerating the expansion of this eco-friendly market.
Recognized for both functionality and design, timber buildings offer natural beauty that sets them apart from conventional materials.
The exhibition features seminars from Korea, Japan, and Estonia, sharing the latest technologies and inspiring architectural case studies in timber construction.

  • Korean Architecture Design Seminar : Three architects share their visions and experiences with innovative timber construction
  • Japanese Timber Construction Seminar : Leading firms like Obayashi Corporation, Taisei Corporation, and Kengo Kuma Associates showcase real-world applications and technical expertise
  • Estonian Architecture Design Seminar : A deep dive into Estonia’s advanced timber construction practices and landmark projects
KEYWORD 03
#Digital Transformation
Digital Construction Technologies (BIM, Automation, Smart Safety Systems, Smart Home Solutions, etc.)

Digital transformation is reshaping the construction industry. Technologies such as digital twin–powered drone systems and AI are making construction sites safer and more efficient. Major Korean construction firms are actively investing in digital innovation and carbon reduction technologies.
KOREA BUILD WEEK continues to expand its focus on digital construction technologies, keeping pace with industry trends. Through dedicated programs and conferences, the event offers practical insights and expertise for professionals driving the future of construction.

KEYWORD 04
#Super-Aged Society
Universal Design, Senior Tech, Senior Healthcare

As Korea enters a super-aged society, the senior industry continues to grow. Among the various aspects of aging, “housing” remains the most essential factor for a safe and fulfilling later life. Comfortable daily living starts with a residence that ensures both safety and convenience. More and more living spaces will be developed to suit the lifestyle and physical needs of the elderly.
Senior housing today integrates universal design, smart home solutions, and healthcare features. But what does a truly comfortable space for all generations look like? You’ll find the answers through the 2025 Trend Seminar and participating exhibitors.

  • Trend Seminar – Super-Aged Society : Under the theme “Design Connecting Generations, Spaces for Everyone”, industry experts will share insights and case studies from various sectors of the senior market.
