CONSTRUCTION
Our Services In Construction
Independent, Impartial Advice Across the Project Lifecycle
We are totally independent of the supply chain, as our company is wholly owned by its employees. Our clients trust us to give impartial advice that is based on our in-depth knowledge of construction costs, contractors, Engineers and local conditions. Our services support clients across a wide range of sectors and cover the planning and managing of quality, time and cost of the project throughout the project full lifecycle.
Under a PMS contract, our firm can be appointed to handle the project on behalf of client starting from feasibility study; conceptual design untill the facility management protocols. Planning of the quality, cost and time. the project manager is responsible to the client for total coordination of the project. This includes the responsibility for generation of criterias and apply it on the issuing, directing and coordinating of:
Design contracts with architectural and engineering (AE) firms, Purchase orders with vendors (manufacturers and fabricators), and
Contracts with constructors, all as required to perform the project design, procure material and equipment, and construct the project facilities.
The degree of physical construction performed by a project manager can range from none to a complete turnkey operation. Similarly, the design requirements of a PMS contract can extend from total to partial to none (i.e., where all design work is contracted to other firms AE).
All above mentioned we do with a Sole Interest is your interest.
Client's Representative
When the client needs to delegate to an independent expert, perhaps because of time pressures or lack of project owner experience. The client’s Representative acts on their behalf to direct and manage the project.
Construction Management
The management of construction is the base of every project and is key to its success. The main purpose of construction management is to set, control and monitor the progress of a project in terms of quality, cost and time. It covers a wide range of responsibilities and spreads into many different fields.
Our long experience in construction and project management enables us to consistently achieve optimum construction management. Our approach focuses on the critical success factors, which include setting clear objectives and scope; planning a large number of project parameters and selecting the right participants; optimising resource allocation; smooth coordination and monitoring of the entire process; and building effective communication channels to minimize project conflicts.
Contract Administration
Modern construction has become increasingly specialised, detailed and sophisticated, for all types of built asset project. Mistakes in the procurement and administration of a client’s contract will cost both time and money – and may even damage company reputation – so it is essential to have access to competent and efficient contract administration.
Our teams of professionally qualified and independent experts will manage the contractual arrangements of even the most advanced contracts. We advise our clients of the contractual pitfalls and minimize their exposure to the risk of additional costs and time extensions. On a day-to-day level we undertake administration of the contract: certification of contract payments and commercial issues related to changes in the contract.
Design Management
Design management involves a fully integrated design and engineering management process from project initiation right through to completion.
Our service starts by assisting our clients in the appointment of the most suitable design consultants, locally or internationally sourced, through a transparent tender process based on a client-centred scope of works, which is tailored for each project. This methodology guarantees that the right consultants are appointed with clear roles and responsibilities from the outset. With an eye on the client’s objectives and budgets, we set the design briefs and processes to establish and achieve project KPIs and targets.
Our design management teams, with their diversified multi-disciplinary engineering and design backgrounds, aim through comprehensive design reviews and multiple integrated value engineering recommendations, to secure budget savings throughout the design phases up to the start of the construction works. Through daily management and coordination between the appointed design consultants, we expedite the completion of the designs and the early release of construction packages to meet any challenges in fast-track projects. Our early engagement on projects typically proves to be very beneficial to our partners/clients, and our ability to always mobilize a specialised bespoke team from our different offices is an advantage.
Project Planning
In today’s highly time-driven construction environment, time is money to owners, contractors, and end users. Time delay implications, when projects are late, include loss in revenue, cash flow crunch, loss of clients/tenants, extended interest payments, and negative marketing impacts.
Our project planning service keeps construction projects on schedule by preventing possible delays and by advising recovery plans in cases where delays occur. The aim is to ensure that the projected revenues of the project stakeholders are achieved. We also provide services related to Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis, which is an approach that we use to determine the root cause of project delays in assessing and evaluating construction delay claims. We use Critical Path Method (CPM) schedules, which are considered a valuable tool in managing construction operations and in assessing construction delay claims.
Risk Management
Construction projects are becoming increasingly complex and innovative, which exposes clients to higher risks and means that effective risk management is crucial. We see risk management as a key factor for project success, and an essential element of project management. When performing project planning, our team performs both a qualitative and quantitative risk analysis to forecast risk probability and impact as accurately as possible. This approach reduces project uncertainty and enables robust responses for those risks that are likely to occur.

Sensitive factors
There are several factors in the process of planning and managing the construction project that we adapt all in the same level of attention and Significance to achieve the success of construction projects. We mention at a glance, the cost file and its variants through all project life cycle. Due to its sensitivity; our strength is defined by our capability of managing everything impacting this file;
- Feasibility Studies
- Budget Cost
- Strategic Planning
- Cost Control– Pre-contract
- Cost Control– Post-contract
- Procurement Strategy
- Tendering and Lifecycle Costing (up to 85% of the operation maintenance and replacement costs of a building can be determined in the first 15% of the design process).
