Watch: Built to last: How GCC contractors are future-proofing project delivery
Today’s conversations with contractors go far beyond technical execution. They are increasingly about operational visibility, supply chain resilience, cost pressures and how to keep projects moving in a more uncertain market.
For contractors, this is changing the way they think about risk, planning and procurement. It is also making financial partnerships more strategic. The right banking partner is no longer just a source of funding, but someone who understands the full project cycle, can respond quickly to stress points and stays closely engaged as conditions evolve.
In an exclusive conversation with MEED, Sreejith Menon, senior vice-president, contracting finance at Mashreq, discusses how contractors across the GCC are adapting to volatility, rethinking sourcing strategies and placing greater emphasis on preparedness and resilience.
“At Mashreq, we place clients at the heart of everything we do. The facilities we structure are designed and customised to meet project-specific needs, not just for today, but across the three-to-four-year execution phase,” says Menon.
In the first episode of this three-part construction video series, Menon explains why the shift is not about slowing ambition, but about building stronger, more resilient delivery models for the future.
