The main challenges in 2016 and also the biggest opportunity for the construction community is to work in alignment to achieve project success.
Each stakeholder must take responsibility and accountability for their roles and work together to achieve the project outcomes. Alignment and collaboration is a challenge but when done correctly it opens the door to many opportunities.
The construction sector at the moment is very positive and there are plenty of opportunities in the next 5+ years. We will be focusing on operational efficiency in 2017 and ensuring that we create an environment on projects where all our stakeholders and subcontractors are able to succeed. Having effective relationships, alignment and trust in the supply chain is our key priority.
There will be more emphasis on design and build projects as well as diversifying the core business. Renewable energy has become a priority and businesses need to respond and adapt to the changing requirements which have been set to make the UAE a smart city. ALECs continuing growth is to offer complementary services which add value to our core business as a contractor.
