An unrivalled platform to help deliver projects at scale – with more speed, efficiency and collaboration
CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY FESTIVAL KSA (CTF KSA) brings together the Kingdom’s key government authorities, project developers, contractors, consultants and ConTech companies to share digital use-cases that design, build and operate major projects faster, cheaper and more efficiently.
The event is co-organised by the SCA and co-located with The Contracting Excellence Awards, a Saudi Contractors Authority initiative to recognise the best examples of local contracting industry innovation, best practice and excellence.
Previous attendees of CTF KSA and the CTF series represent top tier project developers, government authorities, contractors and consultants including:

Construction has among the higest level of emissions of any industry globally. Approximately 40% of annual global carbon emissions are due to construciton process. Of this about 11% of emissions are during the construction process, with the rest during a building's operations, mainly for energy. Heavy emitters in construction include the manufacture of steel, cement and glass.
The level of sustainability on a 3D printed project depends on the materials used and where the print is done. Many 3D printing projects use concrete. However, some companies are now investigating cleaner materials than standard concrete that have lower overall emissions in their manufacture. Some prints are done on location, and others offsite, with the finished parts transported to site for final assemly. The distanced travelled to site will have imnplications on the level of emissions.
A common data environment (CDE) is a cloud-based space that stores data from a construction project, and is made accessible to the organisations working on a project within the AEC industry.
The Saudi Building Code (SBC) is a set of legal, administrative and technical regulations that outline minimum required standards for building design and construction in the kingdom. It is designed to make sure the built environment minimises its impact on the environment. In early 2020, Saudi Arabia released a new green building code called Mostadam. The rating system runs alongside the SBC and is applied to residential buildings, communities and commercial buildings. Mostadam covers two elements - Design and Construction, and Operational and Existing. It was developed to address the long-term sustainability of residential buildings.
BIM assists architects, engineers, and constructors visualize what is to be built in a 3D constrcution environment tand asses design, construction, or operational issues.
BIM represents a new archetype within AEC, that promotes the integration of the roles of all stakeholders on a construction project.
IoT devices allow aquire data on various changes in construction materials or environment conditions; tracking separate parts, details, or items; and updating BIM models in real-time.
There are a number of modern methods of construction being used in today's construction industry, including 3D printing. Others include modular construction and offsite construction.
