embuild

On 1 September, the Construction Confederation changes its name to Embuild

The organisation Confédération Construction - Confederatie Bouw, which manages a large portfolio of construction-related titles such as Construction - Bouwbedrijf and De Vlaamse Schilder, changed its name to 'Embuild, The Belgian Construction Association'. The name 'Confederation Construction' no longer fully covered all facets of the construction world in which the organisation is active. Its new logo clearly shows what Embuild stands for: a brick made up of a series of dots representing the many new technologies within construction.
