Community Development Initiative
One of our most significant projects was the Community Development Initiative, which aimed to revitalize underdeveloped neighborhoods. This initiative brought together contractors, local businesses, and government agencies to improve infrastructure and create jobs, showcasing the power of collaboration in the construction industry.Sustainable Building Program
We participated in the Sustainable Procurement Policy workshop and follow-up to promote eco-friendly construction practices among our members. This initiative will in the future provide training and resources to contractors, enabling them to implement sustainable methods and contribute to environmental conservation while enhancing their business prospects.
Annual General meeting
The Annual General meeting of the association since 2022, with the post pandemic period where we had a lot of challenges faced by our fellow members and shared to us, and together we decided that we will start a permanent secretariat as fron January 2024 and try to reach most of the contractors who are registered and suggest that they join the Association, all the professionals across the industry are registered to their respective councils, why do Contractors fear to register with our Association. This event serves as a platform for networking, sharing knowledge, and discussing the latest trends and challenges facing contractors today and is held end June or beginning of July each year.
