Event overview
ChamlandBau 2027 is a two-day building and living trade fair at Stadthalle Cham in Bavaria, running 13–14 February 2027.
Roughly 45 exhibitors present construction, renovation, energy-efficiency and home products to consumers, while free expert talks, workshops and demonstrations run across both days.
Entry is free and the show is aimed at homeowners, builders and regional trade buyers.
TL;DR
Visitors can compare regional builders, heating and energy specialists, financiers and materials suppliers in one hall, then sit in on free expert talks about new build, renovation and property finance. The compact two-day format makes it practical to shortlist contractors and get budget guidance before the spring building season.
Exhibiting puts a brand in front of motivated regional buyers at a fraction of the cost of a national construction fair. The show is booked out most years, draws more than 7,500 visitors, and attracts homeowners, trades and local decision-makers who arrive ready to discuss projects, products and financing.

Edition recap
ChamlandBau returned to Stadthalle Cham on 7–8 February 2026 with 42 exhibitors and every stand space booked. The organiser's two-day format again combined supplier stands with free expert talks on new build, renovation and property finance.
Impact
ChamlandBau is small by national standards but unusually efficient for the Upper Palatinate: a two-day, free-entry show that puts building, renovation and finance suppliers in front of more than 7,500 regional visitors. For a local contractor or materials brand, one weekend can generate a season's worth of qualified homeowner conversations.
Audience quality
The audience is consumer-led: homeowners, self-builders, renovators and small trades from Cham and the surrounding Landkreis. They arrive with projects and budgets rather than browsing a national exhibition, which shortens the path from stand conversation to site visit. Investors and finance-seeking buyers are a meaningful secondary group.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI is driven by lead quality and follow-up speed, not stand size. A compact 9–18 sqm stand is enough to demo products, book site visits and capture finance enquiries. Exhibitors that staff the stand with technical and sales people, and follow up within 48 hours, convert best; no audited ROI figure is published.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Cham sits on the A3 corridor near the Czech border, where detached-house ownership is high and renovation demand is steady. A free, two-day fair that draws over 7,500 regional visitors gives building suppliers a concentrated, low-cost route to private buyers and local trades before the spring season.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Energy-efficient retrofit leads demand
Rising heating costs are pushing owners of older detached houses towards insulation, heat pumps and window replacement, and they want installers who can explain subsidy rules.
What it changes: Exhibitors that can bundle products with subsidy and installation advice stand out at a consumer fair.
Financing becomes the first conversation
Higher interest rates and tighter lending have made mortgage and subsidy guidance a prerequisite for starting a project, especially for first-time builders.
What it changes: Banks and finance brokers are anchor exhibitors, and product suppliers benefit from co-located finance advice.
Renovation beats new build in small towns
In established Bavarian towns, the practical market is refurbishing existing housing stock rather than greenfield construction, which favours craftspeople and retrofit specialists.
What it changes: Stands showing real retrofit outcomes and site-visit offers convert better than new-build concept displays.
ChamlandBau anchors a year-round regional circuit: the same organiser runs ChamlandSchau, ChamlandVital and ChamlandCareer in Cham, while BAU in Munich serves buyers who need a national construction showcase.

Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Saturday 13 February 2027
Saturday is the stronger day for a first visit: the show opens with the widest exhibitor attendance, expert talks run through the day, and there is still Sunday for a return visit or a quieter second conversation. Sunday can be quieter but closes at 17:00.
Confirm dates, free entry and 10:00–17:00 opening hours — ChamlandBau 2027 runs Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 February.
Book a refundable hotel in Cham old town — Fair weekend absorbs the small hotel stock; aim for walkable rooms.
Shortlist exhibitors and write three project questions — Use the exhibitor list to target builders, heating firms and finance advisers.
Plan travel and parking — Train to Cham (Oberpf) is a 15-minute walk; on-site garage is €6 daytime.
Pack documents, measurements and a notebook — Bring house plans, energy bills and photos to get useful stand advice.
