OVERVIEW The Big Project delves into the trends affecting construction, engineering, architecture and light and heavy equipment in the Middle East and international markets. The monthly publication is a platform for bringing together key decision makers at senior management level to identify, discuss, debate and resolve matters at the forefront of the industry. The Big Project regularly hosts and reports on The Big Debate — a roundtable discussion attended by important industry players tackling the topics that lead the news agenda and best practice. Furthermore, the magazine uncovers the latest projects, forecasts opportunities, identifies upcoming markets and provides expert industry analysis and statistics for the region. And that’s in addition to the magazine’s monthly tenders, country focuses, special articles on sustainability, a recruitment and training section, guides to the latest products, technologies and events, and much more.
