InstallerSHOW announces The HAUS full-scale house build for 2025

InstallerSHOW 2025 (24-26 June, NEC Birmingham) has revealed plans for a full-scale two-storey house build. The HAUS will take centre stage within Hall 4 of the NEC, serving as the heartbeat of InstallerBUILD.

Designed by award-winning architects IF_DO and built using regenerative materials by Natural Building Systems, The HAUS will sit at the centre of InstallerBUILD’s most desirable neighbourhood, surrounded by manufacturers and suppliers who share the vision to showcase sustainability and shine a light on innovation.

About The HAUS

The HAUS will be built using NBS’s ADEPT integrated and demountable modular system to ensure it can be completed inside three days. ADEPT is designed for full adaptability and non-destructive disassembly to aid circularity and reuse.

The future of The HAUS

Following its appearance at InstallerSHOW, The HAUS will become a case study at the University of Suffolk where it will be tested to study the building’s energy performance. The ultimate goal is for it to become a pilot for sustainable developments for local authorities and commercial developers – with a social housing project already identified for potential immediate implementation. The design will take into account local housing styles to ensure it blends with traditional builds.

Michael Costain, Managing Director of InstallerSHOW organiser Lyrical Communications, part of Nineteen Group, comments: “The HAUS will act as a focal point for the inaugural InstallerBUILD at InstallerSHOW, and demonstrates our deep determination to bring the industry together in a constructive and meaningful way with the common goal of decarbonising buildings. Its enduring value to the housing sector after InstallerSHOW is also a reflection of our ongoing commitment to promoting sustainability.”
