Big 5 Construct Saudi, uniting global companies to back the nation’s ambitious transformation, is well-placed to enhance the construction industry‘s sturdy growth prospects.
This year, Big 5 Construct Saudi showcases the International Contracting Conference (ICC), hosted by the Saudi Contractors Authority (SCA) and dmg Events, the premier international events organiser in the Kingdom.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Abdulmajid AlRashoudi, Governor of SCA, commented-
Hosting the International Contracting Conference at Big 5 Construct Saudi reflects their commitment to showcasing opportunities, addressing challenges, and fostering dialogues to enhance the contracting sector in the Kingdom. He emphasized that by convening prominent local and international contracting experts over the two-day conference, they aim to shape the future of Saudi Arabia’s construction industry while consolidating their role as a facilitator of progress in the contracting sector.
A significant partnership with the SCA has been initiated once again, only to organise the International Contracting Conference at Big 5 Construct Saudi, uniting the entire construction value chain. He emphasized that serving as a catalyst for the sector’s forthcoming progress, ICC will feature global contracting experts aiming to drive the industry forward at Big 5 Construct Saudi, where groundbreaking ideas, innovative technologies, and unmatched proficiency intersect.
In its fourth edition, the International Contracting Conference (ICC) brings together leading contractors and foreign experts in contracting within the Kingdom. Over the course of two days, the event fosters insightful conversations and debates centering on urban construction, smart cities, sustainability, and cutting-edge building methods. With more than 25 speakers across 12 informative sessions, the conference offers a comprehensive platform for knowledge exchange and exploration.
The conference invites a speaker panel, which includes Guilherme Jacobucci, Executive Director of WSP, for two days of in-depth discussions. The objective of his address is to provide a comprehensive analysis and understanding of the current situation within the construction sector. Jacobucci hopes to offer insightful information about the challenges, opportunities, and essential factors influencing the contracting landscape in the Kingdom.

According to RICS’s Global Construction Monitor, Saudi Arabia continues to exhibit the strongest Construction Activity Index in the world, both regionally and globally, throughout this period. For large-scale construction projects to run smoothly, it becomes essential to actively support the hiring, development, and retention of a trained labour force.
