Firms that specialize in construction with sustainable materials shed some light on the misconceptions around their work (no, it’s not going to just wash away in the rain)
DUBAI: The Egyptian construction sector, like much of the rest of the world, is battling slowdown effects from the coronavirus pandemic.
Even as its capital city Cairo gingerly reopens following a nationwide lockdown, construction firms face a range of challenges such as socially distanced labor shifts and therefore lower capacity.
That’s according to Radwa Rostom, the founder of Hand Over, a design and build company dedicated to bringing sustainable buildings to Egypt’s masses.
She says her mission is “to transform the construction industry by creating an alternative that is sustainable and cost-effective, as well as inspiring a community development approach through social projects.”
