Urbacon Holding has been recognised as the 42nd top international contractor for 2024, as reported by Engineering News-Record (ENR). The announcement was made during the ConteQ Expo 2024 in Qatar, where Urbacon participated as the official sponsor of the event, celebrating its achievements in the construction industry.
The expo served as a platform for Urbacon’s Board of Directors and senior management to showcase the company’s commitment to integrating advanced construction technologies into its operations.
