Batimat 2026 – Paris, France

What to expect in 2026

Batimat 2026 is a major professional construction and building exhibition bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, architects, designers, installers, distributors, project managers, developers, engineers and other specialists from across the building industry. The event is designed as a multi-specialist platform where construction professionals can discover new materials, technologies, equipment, tools, digital solutions and building systems while meeting companies and other professionals from across the sector.

The exhibition is organised around the idea of “Construction in motion”, with a strong focus on how the building industry is adapting to new technical requirements, changing uses, environmental challenges, digitalisation and evolving professional practices. The programme is structured around three broad themes: Rethink, Restore and Reimagine. These themes cover new construction methods and tools, digital technologies and data, building renovation, circular economy, reuse, heritage, architecture, responsible design, changing uses and new approaches to the built environment.

Batimat also brings together the wider Paris Builders Show ecosystem, including Batimat, Equipbaie by Batimat, Idéobain, Interclima and the Renodays Forum. Visitors can use one standard pass to access the participating trade shows and related conferences, workshops, networking areas and events.

The 2026 edition features six main Batimat pavilions and three dedicated Equipbaie pavilions, together with themed villages, conference stages, demonstration areas, networking facilities, guided visits and immersive exhibitions. The organisers are also highlighting new areas dedicated to structural work, aluminium and electrical solutions.

Batimat 2026 will take place from 28 September to 1 October 2026 at Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, Paris, France.

Opening hours are 9:00 am to 7:00 pm from Monday through Wednesday, with the exhibition closing at 6:00 pm on Thursday. Access is generally restricted to visitors aged 18 and over, with an exception for students presenting valid student identification.

Venue & exhibition site

Batimat 2026 will be held at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, one of the largest exhibition venues in Paris. The official address is 1 Place de la Porte de Versailles, 75015 Paris, France.

The Batimat exhibition uses Pavilions 1, 4, 5.1, 5.2-5.3, 6 and 7.2. The venue has undergone extensive redevelopment, giving the exhibition a modernised environment with improved visitor routes, services and facilities.

The exhibition site is particularly convenient for professionals because of its location within Paris and its connections to public transport. Visitors can move between the different pavilions and exhibition areas while also accessing conference stages, networking spaces, demonstrations and themed installations.

The wider Paris Expo environment makes it possible to combine a professional exhibition visit with accommodation, restaurants, business services and sightseeing in central Paris.

Full exhibition programme

Batimat covers a broad range of building and construction activities rather than concentrating on one specialist product category. The exhibition programme includes materials, construction systems, equipment, technologies, digital solutions, energy-related products, interior and exterior solutions and professional services.

The principal areas include:

• Civil works, structure & envelope: Structural construction, insulation, waterproofing, roofing, façades and related building-envelope solutions.
• Low-carbon construction: Materials, technologies and approaches supporting more resource-efficient and lower-impact construction.
• Equipbaie: Joinery, windows, doors, closures, hardware, glass products, solar protection, workshop machinery and related technologies.
• Interior & exterior design: Interior finishes, fittings, surfaces, exterior landscaping and design solutions.
• Worksite equipment & tools: Machinery, equipment, tools and technologies used by construction professionals.
• Vehicles & equipment: Utility vehicles and associated equipment.
• Construction Tech: Digital systems, software, BIM, data, automation and technologies supporting project design, planning and management.
• Photovoltaic solutions: Solar technologies and associated products for buildings.
• Off-site and modular construction: Systems and solutions connected with industrialised and modular building.
• Professional services: Finance, insurance, consulting, certification, environmental services, engineering and other specialist support.

The programme also connects visitors with the wider building ecosystem, including architecture, urban planning, installation, distribution, manufacturing, project management, engineering and training.

Featured brands & designers

Batimat is primarily a professional construction exhibition rather than a traditional furniture or design fair, so its featured names include manufacturers, technology companies, building-material specialists and equipment suppliers rather than fashion-style designers.

The exhibitor directory includes major international and specialist companies across structural work, joinery, interior and exterior design, construction technology, equipment and other sectors. Visitors can search the official exhibitor database according to industry, product category, geographical area and special features.

Among the types of companies represented are:

• Building-material manufacturers: Companies supplying structural, insulation, roofing, façade and finishing products.
• Joinery specialists: Window, door, closure, glass and hardware manufacturers.
• Construction technology companies: Software, BIM, data and digital project-management providers.
• Equipment manufacturers: Tools, worksite machinery and professional equipment suppliers.
• Energy companies: Photovoltaic and energy-efficiency solution providers.
• Interior and exterior specialists: Companies supplying surfaces, finishes, fittings, landscaping and design solutions.

The official directory is the most useful source for checking individual brands and stand locations because the exhibitor database is continually organised by company, product and sector.

Furniture & interior collections

Although Batimat is not primarily a furniture exhibition, the Interior & Design universe provides an important focus on the appearance, functionality and finishing of buildings. Products and solutions can cover interior layouts, surfaces, fittings, exterior arrangements and materials used by architects, designers, contractors and installers.

Visitors interested in interior projects can explore solutions for walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, glazing, fittings, decorative finishes and other components that influence the visual and practical character of a building.

The exhibition also connects interior design with wider construction considerations such as energy performance, durability, accessibility and responsible material choices. This makes the interior section relevant to professionals working on both new buildings and renovation projects.

Equipbaie further expands this area through dedicated displays covering joinery, closures, hardware, glass products, solar protection and workshop machinery.

Exhibition halls & sections

The 2026 Batimat site is distributed across six principal Batimat pavilions, with three additional pavilions dedicated to Equipbaie. The official practical-information page identifies Pavilions 1, 4, 5.1, 5.2-5.3, 6 and 7.2 for the event.

The exhibition layout is designed to make it easier for visitors to locate companies according to their professional needs. Major areas include:

• Pavilion 1: Structural work, insulation, waterproofing, roofing and photovoltaic solutions.
• Equipbaie pavilions: Joinery, closures, glass, hardware, solar protection, machinery and related technologies.
• Interior & Design areas: Interior and exterior layout solutions.
• Construction Tech: Digital technologies and project-management tools.
• Themed villages: Specialised environments focusing on selected construction topics and emerging solutions.
• Conference and event spaces: Stages and meeting areas for presentations, discussions, workshops and demonstrations.

The official exhibitor directory can be used to identify the precise pavilion and stand for individual companies before visiting.

Talks, presentations & workshops

How to get there

Paris Expo Porte de Versailles is located at 1 Place de la Porte de Versailles in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.

The exhibition centre is well connected to Paris public transport, making it practical for visitors staying in central districts. The venue can be reached using Metro, tram and bus connections.

International visitors can reach the venue from Paris airports using public transport. From Charles de Gaulle Airport, the recommended connection combines RER B and Tram T3a, while visitors arriving at Orly can use Metro Line 14 and Tram T3a.

Because the exhibition covers several pavilions, visitors should check their target exhibitor’s pavilion and entrance before travelling.

Public transport & parking

Public transport is one of the most convenient ways to reach Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The area is served by multiple public transport connections, and the venue’s central Paris location makes it accessible from different parts of the city.

For visitors arriving by car, the official Batimat information identifies several nearby parking facilities:

• P1: 2 Rue d’Oradour-sur-Glane, Paris.
• P6: Access from Place des Insurgés de Varsovie, Paris.
• P7: Rue Marcel Yol, Vanves.
• Park R: Identified as the closest parking option to Hall 1.

The venue also promotes sustainable mobility options, including Vélib’ bicycle stations around the exhibition area.

Visitors should allow additional time for traffic and parking during busy exhibition periods and check the official access information before travelling.

Accommodation areas

Visitors can choose accommodation in central Paris or stay closer to Porte de Versailles. Staying near the exhibition centre can be convenient for professionals attending several sessions or meetings each day, while central Paris provides greater access to restaurants, cultural attractions and business districts.

Useful accommodation areas include Porte de Versailles, Convention, Montparnasse, Vaugirard and other neighbourhoods in the 15th arrondissement. Visitors who prefer to stay in central districts can also use the city’s extensive public transport network to travel to the venue.

The official Batimat visitor information provides access to accommodation and transportation offers through its event partners. The organisers recommend planning accommodation in advance because major exhibitions can increase demand for hotels in the surrounding area.

Accessibility

Paris Expo Porte de Versailles provides accessibility facilities for visitors with reduced mobility. The venue has accessible routes to the exhibition pavilions and wheelchair-accessible counters at the main entrance of Hall 1.

The official Batimat FAQ also provides an accessibility map covering the pavilions, allowing visitors to plan routes before arriving.

Visitors who require specific assistance should review the accessibility information before travelling and contact the event or venue team if additional arrangements are required.

The exhibition’s large multi-pavilion layout means that visitors with mobility requirements may benefit from identifying their preferred entrance, pavilion and stand in advance.

Previous year’s highlights

The previous major edition of Le Mondial du Bâtiment attracted 135,944 visitors, representing a 15% increase in visitor numbers. More than 25,000 international participants attended, while the combined event welcomed 2,022 exhibitors across its shows. Visitors included installers, distributors, project managers, manufacturers, organisations and developers.

The exhibition also recorded strong participation from international delegations, with visitors representing more than 130 countries across the international programme.
