Zahoor Siddique, vice president of Al Harithy Company for Exhibitions (ACE), said: “SBIE serves as an important business-to-business networking platform that complements the upbeat market conditions in Saudi Arabia.”

“It provides a dedicated avenue for trade visitors to explore the latest and most advanced construction and building solutions, while allowing exhibitors to take advantage of the immense growth potential of the largest construction and stone market in the region."

Hosted by the Engineering & Construction Interest Group of Saudi Quality Council-Western Region in collaboration with ACE, the event dealt with a number of issues related to building materials and sustainability, intelligent and environment-friendly buildings, cost management, and value engineering and green buildings.

The Construction Machinery Showcase, organised jointly by Dubai-based publishing house CPI and ACE drew a lot of interest from traders and importers.
