Qatar projects market is gearing up for World Cup deals jump

Consultants and contractors are gearing up for tenders, busy preparing bids and eagerly awaiting award announcements which are likely to reach $25bn–$30bn a year, making Qatar the leading and fastest growing projects market in the world

Qatar has now entered the next most critical phase of its preparations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup where a massive surge of contracts are expected for 2013 and 2014 across the country’s bustling projects market.

At this stage, consultants and contractors are gearing up for tenders, busy preparing bids and eagerly awaiting award announcements which are likely to reach $25bn–$30bn a year, making Qatar the leading and fastest growing projects market in the world.

These developments will be comprehensively discussed at the forthcoming Qatar Projects 2013, held under the patronage of HE Dr Mohamed bin Saleh al-Sada, Minister of Energy and Industry, and chairman and managing director of Qatar Petroleum (QP). He will deliver a keynote speech at the event on February 18, 2013.

Supported by Qatar Petroleum, Qatar Chamber and Public Works Authority (Ashghal), Qatar Projects features a comprehensive overview of the critical projects that are currently being developed as well as those that will be awarded as the country gears up for its biggest event yet.

“Contractors will be competing for the lion’s share of the massive projects that have yet to be awarded. One way to ensure a competitive pitch is to adopt Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions,” said Louay Dahmash, Middle East Territory Sales Director, Autodesk.
