Construction and Infrastructure
Today, an increased number of construction projects have regional or even international dimensions, especially those related to the development or enhancement of infrastructure. Multinational contractors, architects, engineers, material suppliers, equipment providers, and project managers participate in projects at the local, national, and international levels. The broadening of the marketplace brings new risks and challenges.
