DMG Events, the leading international organizer of events in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is set to launch the Jeddah Construct Expo in 2024 as part of its phased expansion plan. The newest addition to its list of trade exhibitions, the event will help drive the port city’s rapidly transforming building and construction industry in line with the ambitious goals of Vision 2030.

The event, catering to the Kingdom’s Western Province, will run for three days from 29th September-1st October 2024 at the Jeddah International Exhibition & Convention Centre.  It will be supported by the Saudi Contractors Authority (SCA) as a Supporting Partner. Established in 2015 the SCA, which operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Municipal, Rural Affairs and Housing, aims to regulate and develop the contracting sector in the Kingdom.

“Jeddah is experiencing a surge in its construction market. Serving as the gateway to Mecca and situated on the Red Sea coast, the city boasts an astounding total project value estimated at $100 billion, according to ABiQ,” said Ben Greenish, Senior Vice President, DMG Events. “In 2011, the inaugural Big 5 Construct Saudi took place in the coastal city of Jeddah. Although it later moved to Riyadh, the overwhelming regional demand from the Kingdom’s Western Province has now prompted us to embrace our shared history and launch Jeddah Construct, a dedicated event for the Western Province powered by Big 5 Construct Saudi. It will present an exceptional opportunity to unite construction professionals in the city and unlock business within this flourishing market.”

Jeddah Construct expo launches with the participation of five prominent industry players, who have been confirmed as exhibitors and Founding Partners. These include Al Bawani, Saudi Services Company Limited, Madaar Building Materials, Al Yamama Group and Samnan.

“The dedicated trade event will help businesses tap into this booming market by connecting industry players with the key buyers and decision makers involved in the ongoing and upcoming construction projects in Jeddah,” Greenish added.

According to its latest report, Knight Frank has revealed buoyant Jeddah residential real estate demand, with an increasing preference for high-quality, affordable residential communities. The city is set to become a world-class tourist and cultural destination following the announcement of the ambitious 15-year Jeddah Historical Rejuvenation Project by HRH Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman targeting the Historic Jeddah area (Al-Balad).
