Facilities Integrate and BuildNZ are co-located trade-only exhibitions for New Zealand's facilities-management, construction, design and architecture sectors, running 15-16 July 2026 at Auckland Showgrounds and organised by XPO Exhibitions.
Facilities Integrate and BuildNZ are co-located trade-only exhibitions held together at Auckland Showgrounds on Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 July 2026, with doors open 9:00am-5:00pm on the Wednesday and 9:00am-4:00pm on the Thursday (buildnz.com). Facilities Integrate bills itself as "the trade-only event for people who manage, secure, develop, design, influence and revolutionise New Zealand's buildings and facilities," while BuildNZ is described by its organiser as New Zealand's premier trade show for construction, design and architecture, carrying more than 200 exhibitors (buildnz.com). The two shows run alongside the National Safety Show and the CleanNZ Expo on the same floor, forming one of the country's larger built-environment trade gatherings.
Both shows are produced by XPO Exhibitions Limited, a New Zealand exhibition organiser (facilitiesintegrate.co.nz; buildnz.com). BuildNZ and Facilities Integrate are long-running fixtures on the XPO calendar, and the independent Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) lists BuildNZ 2026 as a partner event running 15-16 July 2026 at Auckland Showgrounds, Epsom (ciob.org). The 2026 edition continues the shows' established annual cadence at the Showgrounds.
These are trade-only events aimed at industry professionals rather than the general public. Facilities Integrate targets facilities managers and those who secure, develop, design and maintain buildings, while BuildNZ draws building professionals, construction and design-industry participants and product specifiers (facilitiesintegrate.co.nz; buildnz.com). The programme is built around sector education and networking: Facilities Integrate 2026 features The Future of Housing Summit in collaboration with the NZIA, a Verkada Knowledge Theatre and an HVAC&R Summit and Hub, and BuildNZ runs industry seminars and continuing-education days across categories such as architectural hardware, building materials, cladding, HVAC&R and building software and technology (facilitiesintegrate.co.nz; buildnz.com).
Auckland Showgrounds is a real, established exhibition venue in the suburb of Epsom, Auckland, bordering Cornwall Park. It sits roughly 15-20 minutes' drive from the Auckland city centre and is minutes from the motorway (aucklandnz.com). Multiple bus routes serve the area, including the Outer Link service from the city centre, and adjacent Alexandra Park offers additional parking, with free on-street parking on surrounding streets described as limited (aucklandnz.com).
Co-locating Facilities Integrate, BuildNZ, the National Safety Show and CleanNZ concentrates several built-environment sectors into a single two-day trade event, making Auckland Showgrounds a focal point for the construction, facilities and design industries each July. For the New Zealand business-events sector, a recurring multi-show format of this scale is a reliable anchor on the Auckland exhibition calendar, drawing exhibitors and professional visitors from across the country to a single central venue.
