An Investigation into the Current and
Future
State
of the Construction Industry in the
United Arab Emirates
| The United Arab Emirates (UAE) construction industry has seen a dramatic downturn during the latter part of 2008, or such is the perception. As a result, a number of questions plague many organisations and individuals for whom the health of the industry is of real concern: |
|
|
- Is the perception true?
- If so, what has caused the downturn?
- Will things get worse? How much worse? How quickly?
- How long will it take for the industry to recover?

Proleads, by rigorously analysing data collected from over 1,200 construction projects in the UAE, provides answers to these burning questions in a 25 page report by:
- presenting the current size of the construction industry
- exploring how behaviour in the industry has changed of late, in addition to quantifying the impact of the changed behaviour on the industry itself
- projecting the future state of the construction industry’s various sectors by using a statistical mechanism based on the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data
The report firstly defines the problem at hand by creating a context from which the construction industry should be understood. It then goes on to describe how the industry can be quantitatively presented and then provides more information on the sources of data used in the report.
The analyses contained in the report include:
- The composition of the construction industry by various sectors, both by number of projects and budgetary contribution
- Further analytics within each sector describes the financial size of projects within that sector
- The current state of the industry is presented by sector and includes:
- Number of active projects by sector by size grouping
- Cash flow per month in United States Dollar
- Total budget per sector per size grouping
- The amount of budget already spent per sector
- The proportion of budget on hold within each sector
- Statistics regarding the nature of cancelled projects
- The effect of projects lateness on cash flow
