DOHA: The GCC construction sector is leveraging advanced construction software to deliver on its $1.3 trillion value, industry experts announced yesterday in Dubai.
Thanks to population growth, mega projects, and infrastructure developments, the GCC’s construction sector is valued at $1.3 trillion, according to the recent Deloitte report.
Driving this construction growth, construction professionals are using collaborative and interoperable Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, like Tekla BIMsight, for 3D constructable models that lead to smoother completion of complex projects.
“Open BIM is driving Middle East construction innovation, with architects, engineers, and project managers creating intelligent, and information-rich models to deliver projects on time and on budget,” said Paul Wallett, Area Business Director, Tekla Middle East.
Middle East projects using Tekla technology include the Middle East BIM Awards 2014 winners the Abu Dhabi Airport – Midfield Terminal Complex, the King Abdullah Financial District and King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, along with the National Museum of Qatar.
With the region’s rising number of mobile devices on construction sites, Tekla will showcase its BIMsight Note app, for instant communication on-site and on the move. As the region hosts major sporting events, Tekla will demonstrate its expertise in the field.
