Autumn 2026

The construction industry is being pulled in several directions at once. In the Middle East, vast development programmes continue to advance despite growing geopolitical uncertainty. Labour shortages are pushing contractors to test robotics, automation and AI for productivity gains, while demand for data centres, energy infrastructure and industrial projects is stretching delivery capacity.

Owners are also taking a harder look at retrofit versus rebuild, weighing carbon, cost and long-term value as major assets age. World Construction Network reports in the autumn issue.
