Expanding Membership and Promoting Sustainability-Driven Innovations

The International Code Council works closely with regional stakeholders and demand drivers to contribute to the development of holistic and integrated approaches that provide added value and elevate the regional user experience. As the International Code Council’s MENA BSAC continues to expand its membership, so does the communication among strategic players in the building safety sector. This can be further elevated through a platform that fosters the exchange of expertise in various areas, including training, code development and standardization procedures, product evaluation, testing and more.

“We’re delighted to welcome DM to our Advisory Council, marking another milestone in our growing relationship. Their commitment encompasses a broader dedication to enhancing building safety practices”, said International Code Council MENA Regional Director of Operations, Mohamed Amer.

Established in early 2022, the MENA BSAC strives to foster the exchange of insights and expertise concerning the latest developments in construction innovation and building safety practices among esteemed members. This initiative seeks to promote a culture of collaboration and continuous learning within the MENA building sector, in order to promote sustainability-driven innovations which will create a better future for the industry.
