Question on Construction in the Gulf
Curious on who does what
Most of the labourers are Asian; what % is South East Asian?
When I was there, all the labour was Indian/Pakistani/Afghan/Bangladeshi
Are there any labourers from Arab or SubSaharan countries?
-
Now the site foreman
Any particular ethnicity predominates?
When I was there, I recal seeing non Gulf Arab nationalities as the head chap on site . I guess that would be the foreman or superintendent or manager?
-
Saw the occasional Westerner, assumed they were engineers (Structual, Civil) , Architects or experts in certain fields and processes.
-
Are there any noticeable number of Chinese labourers in the Gulf?

Re: Question on Construction in the Gulf
Where are you right now if you have to ask a question like that? Are you not here in the Gulf?
Chinese labourers tend only to be employed by Chinese contractors.
