Are your existing assets delivering optimum performance? -- Should you select the lowest priced tender? -- Are you delivering your major projects efficiently? -- Could you increase the value of your existing assets? -- Do your current deals provide best value? -- Is your project safe from supplier failure? -- Has your project got the optimum sustainability strategy? -- Is your project failing to deliver all expected benefits? -- How high could commodity prices rise? -- Are you backing the right projects?

Looks at the new construction challenges expected to emerge in 2011 in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC region). Political uncertainty following recent events in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Oman and Libya will provide challenges to the commercial viability of projects, although confidence provided by rising energy prices will provide the demand and opportunity to drive many more. Qatar's successful World Cup bid will unlock a long term investment programme, whilst elsewhere in the region, rapid population growth will create demand for housing, infrastructure and wider commercial development. As recovery in many GCC markets strengthens, 2011 will be a year when positive action will create conditions for success. Clients with a proactive approach to programme and project set-up, procurement and delivery will be best placed to secure value and viability. Those that assume that they can rely on weak demand to obtain best value may not obtain optimum results and may be taking unnecessary risks.
