Julianne Tolentino Associate Editor Lately, every conversation I’ve had with industry leaders circles back to the same theme: momentum. Whether it’s a CEO discussing regional growth plans or a project director talking about tighter timelines, there’s a clear sense that Saudi Arabia’s construction sector is moving at full speed. You can feel it in the news, in the numbers, and in the energy of the people driving it forward. This month, we’re celebrating those very people. Our November issue features the Top 30 Leaders in Saudi Arabia’s Construction Industry, a power list recognising the most infl uential C-suite fi gures shaping the kingdom’s built environment. These are the leaders turning ambition into reality and setting new benchmarks across the board. November is also awards season for us. On November 5, we’ll be hosting the Construction Week Saudi Awards 2025, where the industry’s fi nest will come together to honour the standout projects, teams, and individuals that have defi ned the year. It’s always an inspiring night, a reminder of how much this industry achieves when passion meets purpose. Alongside the power list, this issue brings you exclusive interviews, opinion pieces, and site visit highlights from across the kingdom. From leadership insights to project spotlights, there’s plenty to explore and learn from. As we approach the end of 2025, it’s clear that the pace of progress in Saudi construction isn’t slowing down any time soon. The story keeps getting bigger, bolder, and more exciting, and we’re proud to keep telling it. Signing off !
