Omnix International, a distributor of digital software imaging solutions, has revealed its strategy to strengthen its focus on KSA’s burgeoning construction market, which is currently valued to be worth over $82bn.
The move complements a recent report released by business research and intelligence firm, Ventures Middle East, titled ‘KSA Construction Industry Overview,’ showing that in 2011, the country’s construction industry saw contract awards reaching a value of $80bn, which is expected to grow to $86bn by 2013.
In line with this, Omnix International throws the spotlight on its new line of powerful design solutions at ‘Autodesk Solutions Day,’ an event aiming to help KSA users bring their designs to reality faster, which runs from June 24, 2012 to June 26, 2012 in Riyadh, Dammam and Jeddah, the company said.
The KSA event, which is the fourth in the ‘Autodesk Solutions Day’ series, is being held to showcase the enhancements in the Autodesk 2013 portfolio, engineering and entertainment software featuring in-depth creation suites and latest design innovations, to more than 400 users from more than 90 companies in the country, it was announced. The key industries in focus during the event will be architecture, engineering and construction (AEC).
Omnix International, which is the authorised Autodesk distributor for the Middle East region, has revealed a strong demand for more world class and fully reliable design solutions across the real estate, infrastructure and utilities segments of KSA’s construction market, wherein the demand is constantly driven by the country’s rapidly growing and fast urbanising young population.
