The workshops, attended by more than 277 owners of engineering offices and firms across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Al-Khobar, focused on strengthening communication between the Council and its partners in the engineering sector. They also addressed various developmental initiatives and challenges facing engineering offices and companies.
Throughout the workshops, several key topics were discussed, including a review of the main challenges identified in previous sessions and the progress made in addressing them. The sessions also presented solutions for professional liability insurance and raised awareness about its importance.
