BAU 2027 Munich

BAU 2027 Dates, Venue and Event Information

BAU 2027 will take place from January 11–15, 2027, at the Trade Fair Center Messe München in Munich, Germany. Organised by Messe München GmbH, BAU is the world's leading trade fair for architecture, materials and systems, bringing together professionals involved in planning, constructing, designing and operating buildings.

What to Expect from BAU 2027

BAU is held every two years and focuses on materials, technologies and systems used in commercial and residential construction, interior work, new buildings, renovation and modernisation.

The exhibition spans building sectors including aluminium systems, architectural building materials, flooring, roofs and façades, solar systems, digital solutions, BIM, energy and building technology, glass, wood, doors and windows, lighting, modular construction, smart-building technology, security systems and construction tools.

BAU 2027 is organised around four major themes: Materials and Resources, Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation, A Changing Habitat, and Digitalization and Productivity. Digital topics include BIM, AI and digital twins, while other themes address resource-efficient construction, existing-building transformation and climate-resilient architecture.

Our Work Portfolio

BAU 2027 Munich Dates, Venue and Opening Hours

BAU 2027 runs for five days, from Monday, January 11 to Friday, January 15, 2027.

Official visitor opening hours are:

Monday–Friday: 09:30–18:00

Exhibitors have access from 07:30–19:00, while published journalist hours are 09:00–18:00.

The event takes place at Trade Fair Center Messe München in eastern Munich. BAU lists the main East entrance at Am Messeturm, 81829 Munich, Germany. Messe München GmbH's registered venue/company address is Am Messesee 2, 81829 Munich, Germany.

BAU 2027 Visitor Registration and Exhibitor Booking

Visitors can purchase digital admission through the official BAU Ticket Shop or redeem an eligible visitor voucher online.

Companies wishing to exhibit must apply to Messe München as a main exhibitor. The organizer states that the initial application is non-binding until the exhibitor accepts a placement proposal.

Importantly, booking exhibition space does not automatically include stand construction or equipment. Stand building can be arranged separately after the stand allocation has been confirmed.

The official BAU exhibitor application should therefore be used first to secure exhibition space. Stand design, technical planning and fabrication can follow once the booth dimensions, position and open sides are confirmed.

BAU 2027 Exhibitors and Participating Companies

The official BAU 2027 Exhibitor Directory is live and provides searchable information about exhibitors, brands, products and exhibition sectors. Visitors can also use the directory to create watchlists and review the hall layout.

BAU's exhibition sectors cover a particularly broad section of the construction industry, including:

• architectural and structural building materials
• aluminium and steel-processing systems
• façades, roofing and solar systems
• flooring and interior products
• doors, windows and glass
• energy and building technologies
• digital solutions including AI and BIM
• smart buildings and automation
• modular and prefabricated construction
• lighting
• tools and occupational safety

For the latest company-level participation information, visitors should use the official 2027 exhibitor directory rather than previous-edition exhibitor lists.

Who Should Visit BAU Munich 2027?

BAU is designed for professionals involved in planning, constructing, developing, supplying and operating buildings.

The organizer identifies audiences including architects, planners, engineers, building trades, retailers, developers, investors, industrial representatives and commercial-sector professionals.

For these visitors, BAU provides a concentrated opportunity to compare construction materials, technical systems, digital tools and building solutions across multiple sectors.

BAU 2027 Travel, Transport and Visitor Information

Messe München is directly accessible through Munich's U2 underground line. Visitors can use either Messestadt West or Messestadt Ost for direct access to the exhibition grounds.

The organizer states that the journey from Munich Central Station takes approximately 20 minutes without changing trains.

Visitor parking is available at the venue. BAU currently lists €15 per day for outdoor parking and €21 per day for the multi-storey car park. Visitors arriving by air should check the official travel page for airport rail, taxi and event-shuttle information before travelling.

What Exhibitors Can Expect at BAU 2027

BAU brings together building products and technologies that often need more than conventional graphic displays.

Construction-material exhibitors may need areas for physical samples, façade systems, flooring displays, doors, windows, lighting products or structural components. Technology companies may require screens, demonstration stations, power access and organised cable management for BIM, software or digital-building solutions.

Meeting areas should also be considered where technical discussions with architects, planners, distributors or procurement teams form an important part of the exhibiting strategy.

The stand should therefore be planned around what visitors need to inspect, understand or discuss—not simply around decorative elements.

BAU 2027 Exhibitor Planning Checklist

Before exhibition-stand production begins, exhibitors should confirm:

• final stand dimensions and hall location
• number of open sides
• product and sample-display requirements
• demonstration areas
• meeting capacity
• storage requirements
• screens and AV equipment
• electrical requirements
• final branding and graphic files
• lighting requirements
• organizer service deadlines
• required stand drawings and venue approvals
• confirmed installation and dismantling arrangements

BAU specifically notes that certain stands require documents to be submitted to its Technical Exhibitor Service, including stands or advertising structures above 3 metres, stands above 100 m², covered stand areas and stands displaying vehicles. Exhibitors should always check the current technical guidelines for their specific design.
