More than just an exhibition, The Big 5 Qatar is offering the unique chance for industry professionals to enhance their skills through free CPD (Continuing Professional Development) certified courses, a press release said on Tuesday.
These courses are held by leading professionals, shedding light on the most current trends in construction.
Talks on sustainable cities have brought crowds to the Doha Exhibition & Convention Centre (DECC), eager to learn more about Qatar's master urban plans and the smart technologies used to develop them.
Roberto Molinos, Professor at Instituto De Empresa in Spain, said,"Technology in buildings is crucial to enable the sustainable management of a city. Great opportunities arise by adopting these technologies in the construction industry, and we see that Qatar is extremely keen in doing so."
Amal Yousuf al Mulla, Quality And Sustainability Engineer Technical Office at Ashghal, said,"Adopting Lean methods in construction, health and safety, waste recycling are examples of the commitment already made to meet the Qatar 2030 Vision utilising latest technology in Project Management, recycling, and BIM (Building Information Modeling). Tech, digital and BIM all have important contributions to make, to improve productivity and also disrupt the current delivery model through innovation to deliver superior performance."
With experience across many leading projects in the country, including Hamad International Airport, Tornado Tower, Sidra Medical Research Center, Lusail Car Parks, Doha Oasis and Doha Metro, Youssef A Wazni, Senior Sales Manager at Thyssenkrupp Elevator Qatar said,"In Qatar, clients are early adopters of innovative technologies, always looking for increasingly efficient and sustainable solutions to apply to their projects."
Hossam Samir Ibrahim, Senior Urban and Regional Planning Expert for the Ministry of Municipality and Environment added,"Evolving urban ways of life through the use of innovative technologies is at the centre of sustainable cities. The process starts by defining goals around the quality of life and growth in a green city, focusing on health, mobility, energy, smart citizens and smart learning."
The Big 5 Qatar hosts a total of 40 free-to-attend workshops, running until Wednesday and covering a wide range of topics. Beyond Sustainability, visitors can listen to experts in the field of Project Finance and Project Management, Architecture and Building Design, and the Women in Construction Series.
On Wednesday, at Women in Construction Seminar series, Omeima Ismaiel, Founder of The Architects Hub, will share her positive outlook on the construction industry in Qatar.
"As an architect and through some of the projects on which I have worked, I am always inspired by the willingness to embrace novel experiences and innovative technologies," said Ismaiel
She said,"With such an open mind set, Qatar is surely a good place for trade fairs and business networking."
