The Middle East’s construction industry is playing a key role in the region’s economic transformation. As national vision plans look to diversify away from oil dependency, huge opportunities are presenting themselves for the industry to enable the development of megaprojects and improved infrastructure.

With over half of our survey respondents expecting tender opportunities to increase next year, contractors looking for a competitive edge are increasingly opening regional headquarters in the region.
