Market view

United Arab Emirates

A mature market where the contracts are sophisticated and the records still decide the outcome.

Conditions on the ground

Developers and authorities operate under well drafted FIDIC based conditions, which shifts the battleground from entitlement in principle to entitlement in evidence.

Mixed use and masterplan delivery creates long chains of interface risk between packages, where responsibility for delay is genuinely contested rather than obvious.

Asset heavy owners with operational portfolios face renewal decisions on stock handed over fifteen to twenty years ago with incomplete records.

What we are commissioned to do in United Arab Emirates

Capital Project Governance

Stage gate assurance, project health reviews and governance frameworks for programmes where a single missed control costs more than the review that would have caught it.

→

Construction and Contract Audit

Auditing what was invoiced against what the contract permitted and what was actually built. This is the work that returns money.

→

Claims and FIDIC Advisory

Entitlement, extension of time and variation positions built on the contract as written and the records as kept.

→

CAPEX Control

Capital budgeting architecture, cost baselines and the reporting discipline that makes a capital plan mean something after it is approved.

→

Enterprise Asset Management

Asset registers, lifecycle planning and ISO 55001 frameworks. The record of what an owner actually holds, built to survive the contractor who handed it over.

→

Risk Based Internal Audit

Multi year audit plans for organisations that build. Written by people who have run a site, not only a checklist.
