E2construct-Application for Better Construction in United Arab Emirates Using Indian Skills
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
The tool “e2Construct” was developed as part of research work and was validated initially with select contractors to help construction industry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Substantial use of this tool to the construction industry would help better use Indian and other labor forces in the UAE and save billions of dollars. This paper concludes the series of papers, in which the model was developed to include the current practices and standards of UAE construction Industry in relation to labor skill development and recruitment strategy. The model was tested initially with three construction companies independently to validate their understanding. Their acceptance was the basis of using this tool in the future work towards industry-wide application of the e2Construct tool. This paper describes results of initial testing and stages that were followed for successful implementation in the industry.
