Event Director
"Big 5 Construct is the one of the baggiest constructions events in which you can collaborate with construction experts showcasing their innovations and newest products"
Emad Fayez,
Cost Control Director, Orascom Construction
"In our panel discussions about facility management, we aim to raise awareness of its importance. Many focus on construction or design, often overlooking the costs of facility management. A key challenge is pricing—how service providers set their rates and how developers respond. Addressing these issues is essential for advancing the sector."
