In order for the construction industry to act upon this tremendous development, a few companies need to lead the best technology utilization practices.

Through a collaboration with Asite, which is a leader in supply chain technology over five continents, along with a reputed construction pillar such as 'KCG' who have more than 44 years of construction operations in the kingdom, the construction industry will catch up with the rapid digital evolution in the kingdom.”
