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.
