Male construction fair in July

Maldives Construction Fair 2008 rolls out for the third consecutive year from July 7 to 9 at the Dharubaaruge Exhibition Hall in Male.

Designed to provide a common arena for the business community to exhibit their services and products, the MCF 2008 will also help to develop and create awareness on how the Maldivian construction industry works. Over 50 companies from Sri Lanka will participate at the event while companies from India, UAE, Singapore, New Zealand and Malaysia too will participate.

This fair is not only a showcase of the latest products and services in the industry, it also offers a common platform for networking and information sharing on construction issues and challenges," said Husnie Rauf, Manager - Exhibitions (MECS).

Organised by the Maldives Exhibition and Conference Services (Pvt) Limited (MECS) for the Maldives Association of Construction Industry (MACI), this year's Fair will wow audiences with the latest products and services in the market. The Construction Fair this year is aptly timed, as this industry is presently the fastest growing in the Maldives and is the third largest contributor to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Numerous public sector projects are in the pipeline including 2,870 housing units, 218 projects spanning a 2-year project lifespan and many others.
