Dr. Faysal Alaquil, CPC Director of Business Development and Head of Corporate Social Responsibility Department, said CPC was very concerned to take part in this forum which identified the main trends of the construction sector in the Kingdom, discussed the opportunities and challenges faced by the sector and highlighted the ways through which the sector is keeping up with the housing requirements and plans, while focusing on its role in employment nationalization. He said “it was a great opportunity to discuss key opportunities and challenges facing the construction industry and housing in Saudi Arabia. The sponsorship of this event is an extension of our commitment to support the exchange of ideas and information between the leaders of the construction industry."
