We focus on meticulous attention to detail and quality, ensuring your project receives the dedication it deserves.

  • Identify and propose value engineering solutions to optimise project budgets.
  • Manage a team of estimators and ensure they produce accurate and timely estimates.
  • Review and analyse contractor claims for accuracy.
  • Participate in pre-bid meetings and site visits.

  • Strong expertise in high-end finishes, bespoke joinery, custom-made furniture, and complex MEP services.
  • In-depth knowledge of local market rates for materials, labour, and subcontractors (UAE/GCC market essential).
  • Proven experience handling FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) costing.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to assess tender risks and contractual requirements.
