Al-Abdullatif noted that the forum will feature three sessions discussing a number of topics, with the participation of several princes and ministers who will speak about the key roles of the Saudi Building Code and its importance in preserving buildings, properties, and facilities, as well as its role in economic sustainability for citizens, as well as reviewing the roles of relevant agencies and institutions in this field and facilitating and providing the requirements for implementing the code by designing training programs to support owners of engineering firms in the Kingdom to meet their future needs.
