€17bn scheme to deliver massive Spanish construction jobs boom

Over 65,000 jobs are reportedly to be created with the development of a new spy-themed leisure complex in Aragon, Spain. With construction of the Gran Scala leisure complex planned to start by the end of 2008, it is expected that there will be a massive construction recruitment drive in Spain and elsewhere over the coming months.
The international development consortium behind the scheme recently unveiled plans for the €17billion Gran Scala complex and they were enthusiastically welcomed by locals and Government.
Despite global market uncertainty and doubts about economic growth, the Gran Scala development will be a huge boost for construction job opportunities in Spain. The Spanish Government has also committed to an infrastructure roll-out programme. The local government in Zaragoza has agreed to invest €250million in transport links, power and telecommunications for the project which will result in a boom for civils jobs in Aragon.
Developers of Gran Scala say the scheme will be built in three stages, cover an area of 2,025 hectares and employ 65,000 people. The first phase will start in late 2008 and will last about two years. This will comprise the construction of three theme parks and a group of casinos. The second phase will consist of the development of a fourth theme park and other casinos and the final stage is scheduled to be completed in 2023. There will also be a golf course, horse racing, conference centres, museums and concert halls.
Most of the investment will be on building 32 themed casinos, 70 hotels and five theme parks.

United Arab Emirates skilled construction jobs

If contractors are to meet new Green Building standards in the UAE, they will have to recruit greater numbers of skilled construction labour and be allowed longer deliver times for developments, a conference in the United Arab Emirates was told by a leading international formwork expert.

Geir Jensen, general manager of formwork specialists Doka Emirates told the conference that a lack of skilled labour could cause hold ups in meeting new sustainable building goals in the UAE, when regulations which stipulate that all buildings in the emirates must be constructed to international 'green' buildings standards come into force in January.

He stated that sub-contractors and contractors may struggle to meet the regulations as a result of construction skills shortages and tight deadlines set by clients. He said: "The current workforce can't be expected to do jobs fast-track as they're not skilled enough Until we have the skilled labour I feel we won't be able to do sustainable buildings." Jensen also pointed out that developers were setting impractical delivery dates for their projects.
