The construction industry is considered one of the potential contributors to
social and economic development in Yemen. The contracting sector, one of
construction industry's components, faces major challenges in organizational,
technical and financial matters affecting its ability to meet the requirements for
implementing strategic projects. This paper presents suggestions and
recommendations for developing this sector and increasing its capabilities to
overcome such challenges. The presented suggestions & recommendations
were reached based on studying a construction of an international football
stadium in Zingobar city of Abian governorate–Yemen as a good practice as
well as performance of contractors in other projects and government planning
for strategic projects.
