Iraq Development Program - IDP - Iraq's Construction and Housing Sector

Iraq Development Program - IDP - Iraq's Construction and Housing Sector: "Iraq's design and construction industry has been in a state of disrepair for more than a decade as a result of the trade sanctions imposed during the reign of the previous regime. The reconstruction and rehabilitation of Iraq has created a huge demand for building equipment and basic building materials, finishing products, engineering skills, technology, environmental awareness and maintenance systems. With international agencies bringing projects into the country and pressing for the involvement of local companies, Iraqi construction firms stand to learn much about western industry practices."
