Battle of the Masters and a Test of Endurance: What MITEX DIY 2026 and the Brigadir74 Construction Workshop Have in Store

Back to the list

From November 10 to 13, the MITEX DIY zone will once again open at Crocus Expo as part of MITEX 2026. This year, its central feature will be the Brigadir74 Construction Workshop — a venue for professional competitions, tool testing, masterclasses, podcasts, and meetings with representatives of the construction and power-tool industries.

At the heart of the programme is a professional skills zone featuring five themed areas:

• Electro Vikings — challenges for electrical installation specialists;  
• Tile Setters’ School — tasks for professional tilers;  
• Decor Academy — competitions for finishing and decorative-coating specialists;  
• Ural Ceiling Installers — a test of ceiling-system installation skills;  
• Plumbing Showdown — competitions among professional plumbers.  

Participants will complete hands-on tasks against the clock, while visitors will be able to compare different techniques, approaches, and tool capabilities in a genuine competitive setting.

Aquarium: Tools in Action

In the dedicated Aquarium zone, visitors will see new products in action. They will be able to test tools, compare their capabilities, and evaluate their performance in real-world applications. The area will host masterclasses and demonstrations using tools, materials, and workpieces.

Podcasts and Industry Meetups

In the podcast zone, manufacturers, dealers, professional tradespeople, and bloggers will discuss the development of construction trades, new tools and technologies, current market trends, and their own professional experience.

The Construction Workshop will also host a meetup for bloggers who create content about construction, renovation, tools, and the work of skilled tradespeople.

MITEX DIY will bring together professionals, manufacturers, experts, and creators of industry content. Here, tools are not merely displayed — they are put to the test, while craftsmanship becomes a true exhibition spectacle.
