The Word Dubai Has Become Synonymous with Construction

Over the past decade, the large-scale construction has made Dubai one of the fastest growing places in the world. In fact, the total value of construction put in place in Dubai over the last ten years totaled nearly $3 trillion. Today, there is about $1 trillion worth of construction projects taking place in Dubai. To indicate the sheer size of the city’s construction industry, a quarter of all construction cranes in the world are currently operating in Dubai. As a result of its ingenious creativity, Dubai has become home to some of the world’s tallest buildings and the most known travel attractions. These include the world’s tallest building (Burj Dubai), the largest shopping mall (Dubai Mall), and the tallest hotel (Rose Tower). The city is also home to such engineering marvels as the World Islands, which have boosted the city’s reputation in the world and have contributed to its tourism growth.

The construction boom in Dubai has created jobs for hundreds of thousands employees coming from around the world. Demand for labor has sustained even during the current economic slowdown and will likely improve much once the global economic conditions stabilize. What will make the demand for construction labor grow strongly in the future is the general objective of the Dubai government to diversify the city’s economy into a tourism hotspot. Various projects have been planned for housing, tourism, industrial and commercial facilities, education and healthcare, transportation, utilities, ports and airports. All this has also attracted private investments from around the world, making the construction industry one of the largest employers in the nation.
