“Now in its ninth year, the Middie East Consultant Awards continues to identify and

honour the Consultants doing exceptional work in the Construction and Real Estate
sectors across the GCC – identifying the innovators, the champions of best practice and
those who have worked on stand-out projects of lasting significance to the region,” said

Middle East Consultant’s Head of Content, Paul Godfrey.
“Yet it also aims to show proactively what are the real trends shaping the future of the
sector – and the event’s 23 categories have evolved to factor in key areas such as the

impact of AI, the widespread adoption of the Digital Twin and changes within the
workplace itself, such as the advent of ED&I compliance and the importance of ESG
commitments to the balance sheet.”
