Industry experts talked about the adoption of latest construction software to ensure efficient and swift delivery of projects worth almost $3 trillion at The Big 5 2015.
According to recently launched report by Deloitte, GCC Powers of Construction 2015, the region’s construction pipeline totals $2.8 trillion. These projects include mixed-use mega developments, airports, seaports and other transport infrastructure projects.
As the industry matures, architects, engineers, contractors and real estate companies have been increasing their demand for building information modelling (BIM) software to create 3D constructible models. These models not only enhance collaboration, but also increases visibility and efficiency across the design, build, and operate stages of projects.
Paul Wallett, area business director at Tekla Middle East, said that the Middle East is seeing nationwide transformation in construction innovation, with projects for mega-events such as World Expo 2020 in Dubai and 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar stretching design boundaries. “Advancing government BIM mandates further demonstrate the Middle East’s desire to be on par with global innovators in the construction field.”
