is becoming increasingly reliant on software
platforms that save time and cost at the
beginning of build, and that create effi ciencies
for the full lifecycle of projects thereafter.
With the introduction of the Construction
Technology sector at The Big 5 Heavy, we
will bring together solution providers that are
best in class from around the world, to help
contractors across the Middle East adopt new
industry standards as soon as building begins”.

“We want our customers to do more than just
purchase new technology; we want them to
know how to use it to full capacity. We are
adopting a more consultative approach with
clients to address this, and The Big 5 Heavy is
the ideal platform to showcase this initiative.
Educating customers really is a means to
ensuring that our products succeed in making
their businesses more productive and more
profi table.”
