The Construction Association of Michigan and the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan are presenting the state’s largest construction industry event, the Great Lakes Design and Construction EXPO 2025.

The one-day statewide event brings together residential and commercial designers, contractors, suppliers, and service providers.

The EXPO will take place on Feb. 12, at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi. Both commercial and residential industry professionals are expected to attend to learn about innovations in technology, products, supplies, and services from more than 150 exhibitors.

Industry-specific educational workshops and safety training will be offered, as well, to maximize professional skills, competency, and professionalism.

“Our sixth consecutive year presenting the Great Lakes Design and Construction EXPO will provide exceptional business resources, networking, and educational opportunities,” says Kevin Koehler, president of CAM in Bloomfield Hills.

HBA’s CEO, Forrest M. Wall, adds, “There may be some differences between those involved in residential construction and those in commercial construction, but we have found there are far more areas where our interests align. With the EXPO, we provide value and opportunity that exceeds the scope of what CAM and HBA could offer separately.”

The EXPO will offer an Economic Forecast Breakfast at 7:30 a.m., before the Exhibit Floor opens, featuring keynote speaker Eric Lynch, an economist with the National Association of Home Builders, Survey Research Group. During the EXPO, CAM will hold its 139th Annual Meeting for CAM members.

The Economic Forecast Breakfast and CAM Annual Meeting are the only EXPO events that require a purchased ticket. Visiting the Exhibit Floor and all seminars and workshops are offered at no charge to individuals involved in commercial or residential construction.

The exhibit floor will be open from 8 a.m. until the EXPO closes at 3 p.m.

Registration and additional information is available at miconstructionexpo.com or by calling Ron Riegel at CAM at 248-972-1110 or Brian Starrs at HBA at 248-202-7300.
