Changing the Future of Design & Construction
Changing the Future of Design & Construction
Merging digital end-to-end design with sustainable construction in a fourth industrial revolution to ensure NEOM is the standard by which the industry measures itself. A retooled economic model built on advanced technology, best-in-class efficiency, worker welfare and competency – in order to deliver livability and capital projects standards never before witnessed. Not just in NEOM, but in the global market beyond. This is a game-changing circular economy with digital prototyping, built in parallel with a fundamentally progressive society – at a scale and speed previously not thought possible. In short, a new ecosystem to help build smarter, more ethical and highly-profitable industries. Join our transformational movement, be the change.

Our Goals & Objectives
-
01
Implement the principles of a circular economy
The construction industry will be driven by the principles of the cradle-to-cradle economy, which aims to eliminate waste, recycle materials and mimic nature’s harmonic, sustainable cycle overall.
-
02
Incorporate the latest developments in modern methods of construction (MMC)
Over one third of the projects in NEOM will be modular construction. After the initial start-up phase, NEOM’s annual request for this technology is expected to be in excess of $1 billion.
-
03
Establish innovative labor rights and improve workers’ lives
Besides creating and implementing a groundbreaking legal framework that puts human rights first, NEOM will adopt technology that ensures that workers can automate time-consuming tasks seamlessly and improve standards of work.
-
04
Develop state-of-the-art design and construction codes
NEOM will require unprecedented levels of off-site manufacturing within the construction sector. That’s why the legal and business operating frameworks will be designed accordingly, with efficiency, simple licensing procedures and transparent regulatory processes in mind.
Our People
