IMPLEMENTING PROFITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDING PROJECTS

The region’s premiere event dedicated to designing and constructing cost-effective, sustainable buildings

There have been notable developments in regulations, resources and guidelines. For example, the development of Estidama, a sustainability framework, introduced by the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council (UPC). Estidama is having a significant impact on the entire supply chain from the developers through to the solution providers. Is your business or organisation prepared to comply with the new building code?

The 5th Annual Cost-Effective Sustainable Design & Construction Middle East, which will be held in Abu Dhabi from 22 – 25 May 2011, aims to bring together industry experts and governments ministries to share and gain knowledge on the changes in this promising market.

Regional developers and contractors are seeking architects and consultants with local experience and knowledge of designing and constructing energy-efficient, sustainable projects which have met both stakeholder expectations and government regulations. The three things at the top of everyone’s agenda are sustainability, efficiency and cost.
