Sabban Property Investments (SPI), the Gulf-based Real Estate Development Company, was recently appointed a place on the panel for the Construction Week Awards judging committee. John A. Browne MBE, Managing Director of Sabban Property Investments will represent them as a judge for the awards.
The awards, held annually during the ‘Big 5’ Exhibition will take place this year on Thursday 17th November at the Fairmont Hotel in Dubai. The objective of the awards is to recognize outstanding achievements within the construction industry.
Mr. Browne commented on the occasion: “It’s an honor for me to be selected as one of the official judges on the panel for the Construction Week Awards 2005, the largest trade show for the construction industry in the Arabian Gulf. This unique event will combine five major exhibitions under the same roof and will feature approximately 2,000 companies from 50 countries”.
The awards, with 20 separate categories up for grabs, promises to be a major event celebrating the numerous achievements being made in what is probably the most dynamic and innovative construction industry in the world. While there will obviously be a number of key awards for the major projects spanning the GCC countries; there will also be categories including such key areas as project safety & training, environmental achievement, Research & Development and improvements made through the use of IT.
A Construction Week spokesperson commented that the Big 5 is one of the most commercially successful trade fairs in Dubai incorporating National Pavilions from all major Eastern and Western exporting countries in addition to a number of local developers, distributors, importers and contractors.
The building and construction section of the Big 5 is its biggest individual component, and is growing in size and scope with each year. This year, one can expect more than the approximately 34,000 individual buyers and key decision makers from the public and private sectors which attended last years event.
