    International Construction Cost Survey 2010–11

    Dubai and Abu Dhabi


    With Dubai particularly impacted by the global downturn, much of the focus for construction within the UAE
    has turned to Abu Dhabi. Construction costs are now well down from the levels experienced in 2008 when
    the construction sector was booming. However, a stronger oil price and high projected levels of export
    demand for gas are providing an incentive for new energy infrastructure projects. Whilst Dubai experienced
    weaker construction conditions in 2010 after a period of over construction, the sector is slowly starting to
    recover. However, prospects in Abu Dhabi are much more positive. A number of new projects focusing on
    government, leisure, residential and tourism are underway or in the planning stage.
