= Overview =

The World Expo is a large global gathering of nations designed to find solutions to pressing challenges of our times, and this year was scheduled to be held in Dubai from October 2020 - March 2021. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the opening has been postponed to October 2021. The Expo development site is approximately 4 km long and 1.8 km wide covering a total of 438 hectares.

= Construction project management in the global event industry – observations so far =

When considering both mainstream and event construction project management, it is clear that both types of construction projects require a clearly defined brief, robust project plan, shared success criteria and best practice project management tools and techniques. However, there are some subtle differences in event construction project management processes compared to non-event construction project management.

The event industry differs from the open construction market primarily due to the impermanent nature of the built assets in event construction. Due to this, the responsibilities for the design, installation, maintenance and removal of all scope associated with the built asset tends to fall on the contractor as opposed to the typical collection of different organisations and teams. This leads to notable differences in the way projects are procured, designed and delivered.

Finally, there are also subtle contractual differences. Although the FIDIC suite of contracts are used in both the event industry and wider construction market, in event construction the transfer of title and specifically the contractor’s materials and facilities are often procured on a rental basis, whereby title of materials and assets does not transfer to the client. This is due to the buildings and infrastructure being constructed on a temporary basis with the contractor’s scope extending into post-handover maintenance and post event removal.Additionally, there are differences in procurement. The Middle East construction market typically favours a traditional procurement practice (full client design competitively tendered and awarded for the lowest price), which can often lead to an adversarial environment. Conversely, the event industry uses more collaborative, modern procurement methods such as design and build construction contracts and consultant framework agreements. Dubai Expo 2020 has successfully adopted these collaborative principles which can be seen by contract sums and payment milestones being set early in the design process. Also, there are strong examples of integrated client, contractor, and design teams all formally engaged to work collaboratively throughout the design and delivery process.

= Final thoughts =

Overall, it is clear that general construction project management strategies such as formally engaging in commercial transparency and team collaboration early on in the delivery process, provide projects and team members the best chance of success across every type of construction project. However, it important to recognise that within each type of construction project always lay subtle differences and it is important to be aware of them, be flexible and adaptable to each individual project in order to succeed.
