Power 100 list: The Top 5 developers in 2022
Construction Week Middle East unveils the 13th annual Power 100 list, one of the most anticipated rankings of the year. In 2022, the Power 100 list has been redesigned to focus on independent stakeholder segments, which means each stakeholder is ranked against their peers in the industry.
This year, the power list is divided into six sub-lists: Top 30 Contractors, Top 20 Developers, Top 15 Consultants, Top 15 Sub-contractors, Top 10 Designers & Architects, and Top 10 Lawyers. The sub-lists collectively make the Power 100 ranking.
Each sub-list features the most influential individuals from that particular industry, who are ranked in ascending order within their respective lists.
The ranking is based on the following criteria: overall value of the projects completed in the past 12 months, value of new projects secured in the past 12 months, successes and achievements during the same period, and initiatives implemented by the organisation towards the well-being of its employees and the society.
The final Power 100 ranking of 2022 was based on publicly available information about the companies, responses to the questionnaire, and the editorial team’s combined assessment of each company’s achievements in the past 12 months.
Among the featured is Hussain Sajwani, Founder of DAMAC Properties.
