Project Management and Construction Supervision

Our project management services encompass the comprehensive oversight of projects, ensuring their successful completion within budget and on schedule. We effectively plan, organize, and control project activities, allocate resources, manage risks, and facilitate communication among stakeholders.
Our project management team oversees all aspects of construction projects, from planning and budgeting to execution and quality control. We ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality.

Our services include:

Quality Control and assurance

As a standalone service, we can provide Construction Supervision/Monitoring services standalone without being the design civil structural engineers. We, however, as a prerequisite, will perform a due diligence design review to international design codes and standards of the entire construction documentation for our team’s independent validation. The outcome of the due diligence review could be either confirmation of adequacy or identification of inadequacies. Where inadequate, we would provide recommendations and the acceptance of these or in certain cases a consensus with the initial design engineer could be explored. Our conviction from the above remunerated exercise will determine our willingness to proceed with the intended engagement.
