We connected with thousands of attendees over 2 days, proving our market is strong as ever and hungry for quality material suppliers like Mason’s Mill. We had tremendous on-site support from our vendors and they were more than pleased with the turn out and interest in our booth!

We’ve got almost 300 new customers to follow up with and are looking forward to exhibiting again in 2024! "

Mason Spellings | General Manager | Mason’s Mill & Lumber Co, Inc.

" We normally attend national level shows, however, we had heard great things about Build Expo, so we booked a booth. We spoke to more architects and owners at Build Expo in Dallas than a national trade show hosted in New York City that cost twice as much. By the morning of the second day of the show, we had already booked our booth at the next Build Expo."

Tyler Andrews/PoE Texas

"We had a great turn out at the Tampa Build Expo! This was 1st Choice Solar Solutions first year at the build expo. We enjoyed both days at the event and will return next year. So many opportunities and B2B connections were made and we are very happy with the turn out and new Business relationships we have established. I highly recommend attending ANY Build Expo if you are looking to grow your company and find the best of the best! Thank you Build Expo and see you next year!"

"As a first-year exhibitor at the Build Expo Tampa, I have to say all expectations were delivered! The majority of the attendees that interacted with our booth were contractors or decision-makers eager to learn more about portable sanitation and TOI TOI USA.

Thanks to Haley and everyone on the Build Expo team for making every facet of the event management simplistic.
We will return in 2024."

Jackson Hogue | TOI TOI USA

" This was our second year having a booth at the Dallas Build Expo and it was a resounding success! I highly recommend joining us in 2024 for a lot of fun!"

Jon Deweese | Representative for Versatex Building Products in Aliquippa, PA.

" 2023 was our first year to have a booth at The Dallas Build Expo. We could not be happier with the results and are very satisfied with the investment. We made many new connections and discovered products, suppliers, and services that will help us to grow our business and capabilities. But, even more than that, we were able to strengthen existing relationships with companies that we had worked with before. The sense of partnership and collaboration is palpable at this show, and we were grateful to be a part of it. The entire Build Expo team went out of their way to make sure that we were having a great show with regular check-ins and communications.

On a side note, our monitor that we use to show some of our work was damaged after we had set up and left. Keith and his team jumped in immediately to get us another monitor to use during the show and replaced it afterwards. It would have been very easy for them to have just been polite and empathetic and then walked away, but they jumped through hoops to make sure that we were taken care of and satisfied. Thank you to Keith and the rest of the Build Expo team."

Don McDaniel/Senior Vice President/New Era Construction Group, Inc.

" The Build Expo has been a great tool for RESTORATION NATION® as we are very pleased to say that we will be doing many more shows every year.

Build Expo is one of the best ways to reach your primary target market while getting great exposure and marketing. RESTORATION NATION® found the Build Expo to be a great opportunity to not only attract clients, but a great amount of qualified vendors. It is one of RESTORATION NATION’s greatest pleasures to be partners with Build Expo USA!"

We have built lasting relationships with both attendees and other vendors that have allowed us to expand our network and take on many new clients. The visibility that even the Bronze package of sponsorship ads to our representation at the show has been a great value to our team. We love feeling fully integrated into the show, from the tickets to the signage. ThermaCote, Inc. hopes to continue to enjoy the benefits of the Build Expo group of tradeshows many more times over the next few years."

"JobGearRentals.com is a new company in DFW and we planned our Grand Opening around the March 2020 Dallas Build Expo. After a few Covid reschedules and a venue change, the Dallas Build Expo turned out to be a great show for us. As a result, we sold a brand new Husqvarna compaction machine, got many solid leads for future rental customers and formalized relationships with several other businesses that will be able to broaden our customer base. We look forward to coming back to the 2021 Dallas Build Expo...maybe they will give awards for the best looking booth next year! ;)."

"The construction industry has been my career for more than the last decade. Developing business and learning about new materials is a must to stay relevant in the industry. As the needs for construction evolved, as did my ideas to revolutionize and simplify a mass marketplace of GC’s, Sub’s and materials. I decided to create ConstructionBuilds.com to serve as an online resource for construction. The initial phase will allow GC’s and Sub’s to connect. Thanks to Build Expos Atlanta, Tampa, and Houston, I was able to market my idea to thousands of industry leaders thirsty for new technology. Build Expo USA allowed me to research exactly what the industry would adapt to and the more immediate needs. Stay tuned to see the CB App in both your IOS and Android app stores coming in 2020."

Michelle Cox, Founder and CEO | Construction Builds.

"As a Software training service, it is critical to keep up to date with the latest trends, services, and products in the industry. As a small business owner, marketing efforts must be focused and effective. The Build Expo has a wide variety of services and attendees from multiple disciplines and backgrounds which provide a rich array of knowledge and experience in one place. With the ability and time to attend a limited number of expos each year, the Build Expo has become a cornerstone of my company’s marketing efforts. The discovered relationships, new-found technologies, and predictable interaction with new and existing clients has an exponential marketing and educational payoff. A must for me and my business."

Darrell Smith, AIA, CDT, Owner | The Mendicant Architect, LLC

"2019, was our first year at the Build Expo, but it will not be our last! We received great leads, new customers, new leads, as well as valuable partnerships that have helped grow our business exponentially in just the 3 ½ months since the show. We were able to showcase our services to potential customers in a creative and effective face to face manner, all in ease as the Build Expo team helped us along the way, allowing us to have fun and focus on the important part – our customers!"

"I have found that the payoff of exhibiting at Build Expo is pretty short. My company has picked up at least two really good possible clients from exhibiting. The Tampa show has already gotten orders, as well as follow up work. My focus is picking up a client, over an order. So far, indications are that it is definitely worth the investment."

Carl Campbell, Owner | Alliance Textiles

"My organization attended the Builders Expo for the first time this year. We enjoyed working with the team at Build Expo. They helped us all along the way. Very helpful and would reply to all of our questions promptly. We definitely enjoyed meeting potential new vendors to work with in the future. What I really liked was getting to know other local vendors and networking with them. You never know whos services you may need in the future."

George Partida, Houston Operations Manager | Any Lab Test Now

"Atlanta Build Expo show turned out to be a spectacular success for H2O Barrier Technologies. We met with industry architects, engineers, specifiers and major builders.

Because Atlanta Build Expo marketed correctly we saw exactly who we needed to see. We had lines waiting to talk to us. Serious chemists even showed and waited patiently and listened. This tradeshow was very important to us as we needed to gleen insights from those who write up which products to use and understand how our new Posibond science would be received. We will be scheduling luncheon learns, taking questions, and looking into business partnerships or licensing options in the near future."
Harry Harshaw, Owner | H2O BARRIER TCHNOLOGIES
