Kuwait construction sector is poised for
significant growth thanks to projects worth $188 billion currently under
various stages of planning and construction.
Several multi-billion dollar projects like $2.6
billion Subiya Causeway, $3.3 billion Kuwait International Airport, $6.2
billion motorway construction, $7 billion Kuwait Metro project and $15 billion
Al-Zour New Refinery Project stand testimony to the increasing demand for high
quality infrastructure along with residential and upscale properties.
Event Director of The Big 5 Kuwait, Ashley
Robert said that from its annual budget for 2015-2016, Kuwait has set aside
$7.2 billion for the acceleration of the construction sectors growth. Their
event will highlight state-of-the-art solutions and products for the
construction sector in order to leverage the fresh momentum experienced by the
Kuwaiti market.
The third edition of The Big 5 Kuwait which
will be held from 14th -16th September at the Kuwait
International fair has a new addition which is a hall dedicated to Building
Interior Products. This was because Building Interior Products has a huge
demand in Kuwait to the tune of $31 million and was requested by 41% of the
visitors in 2014.
A second new feature is the Continuing
Professional Development (CPD) accredited workshops which are free to attend.
Architects, interior designers, consultants, procurement managers, contractors,
real estate developers, engineers, and government sector personnel can register
the points with their professional association or use it as certificate of
attendance.
Mr. Ashley Roberts said they were upbeat that
this event will generate positive results for the exhibitors and visitors.
The Big 5 Kuwait is the largest building and
construction event in Kuwait, attracting visitors from Kuwait, Saudi, Bahrain
and UAE.
It addresses the needs of the country's
construction sector. Last year over 5,000 industry professionals attended it
and 76% of the visitors who attended the workshop rated the sessions as either
'excellent' or 'good'. It provides the regional and international manufacturers
and distributors the ideal platform to showcase their goods and services and
easy access to the local buyers.
It complements the growing momentum in the
Kuwaiti construction sector by offering new concepts and solutions in building
technology.
