Introduction Big Project ME is the region’s leading monthly B2B magazine for the construction and infrastructure industry. Covering both online and print media, our platforms provide a voice for the industry and an essential point of reference for those working in it.
Every month Big Project ME carries exclusive interviews with regional decision-makers, site visits and profiles of the biggest and most high profile projects in the GCC and in-depth analysis and comment of the impact of current affairs on the construction industry.
