The Chilean Construction Chamber (Cámara Chilena de la Construcción or CChC) is a trade association that brings together various stakeholders in the industry with the aim of developing and promoting construction activity in our country.
Since 1990, the CChC has promoted the organization of the Edifica International Fair, bringing together companies, suppliers, professionals, and authorities interested in advancements in the design, management, and implementation of new technologies in construction.
Edifica is a meeting point for the entire construction business chain, providing spaces to enhance the productivity and quality of this productive sector.
Edifica, which is the Construction Fair first edition, is held, bringing together the industry stakeholders.

Edifica takes place within the framework of the XXVII Inter-American Congress of the Construction Industry.
The painful experience of the earthquake on February 27th, 2010, motivates Edifica 2011 to focus on reconstruction plans.
An agreement is signed with the Association of Equipment Manufactures, AEM, adding Conexpo to the fairs in 2015 and 2017.
The International Construction Fair (Feria Internacional de la Construcción or FIIC) is established, incorporating Edifica, ExpoHormigón, and CONEXPO LA.
Thematic halls and the International Pavilion are created. That year, the annual FIIC Congress and the Innovation and Construction Congress are held.
Edifica is consolidated as an international fair with 47% of the exhibitions coming from different countries.
The participation of China and Turkey makes this the most significant edition in terms of showcasing solutions.
Due to the pandemic, the event had to be postponed for a year, making EDIFICA the first commercial mass event in Santiago after the lifting of health restrictions.
