Project management in Dubai at a glance

A project manager works for you, not for the contractor. We plan the budget and programme, run the tender, supervise the works, check every payment claim and take the building through the final inspections to handover.

In short

When owners call us

  • Building a villa while working full time
  • Living abroad while the villa is built in Dubai
  • Comparing contractor quotes that don't match
  • A project that has stalled or gone over budget
  • Fitting out a shop or office for a fixed opening date

What project management covers

  • Budget and programme

    A realistic budget and timeline before anything is signed, updated as the design develops.

  • Tender and contract

    Contractors shortlisted, quotes compared on the same scope and the contract agreed with you.

  • Site supervision

    Regular site visits, material and sample checks, and defects caught before they are covered up.

  • Payments and changes

    Every payment claim checked against the work on site, and every change priced before you approve it.

  • Inspections and handover

    Final inspections, the snag list, the completion certificate, as-built drawings and warranties.

How supervision works in Dubai

  • The permit names the team. A Dubai building permit is issued with the consultant and the contractor on it. Changing either needs an updated permit before work continues.
  • Inspections come before handover. The building is inspected at the end, and the completion certificate is issued after it passes. Defects found then cost time, so we check the works at every stage.
  • Payments follow progress. Contractors are paid against certified work, so an independent check of each claim protects your budget.

Our Process

How we manage a project

  1. Plan

    Budget, programme and risks set out with you, and the design checked for buildability and cost.

  2. Tender

    Contractors shortlisted, bids compared on the same scope, and the contract agreed.

  3. Build

    Regular site visits, quality checks, payment certificates and progress reports with photos.

  4. Handover

    Snag list closed, completion certificate obtained, and as-built drawings and warranties handed to you.

Me and my husband were helped by Al Mujassam and the whole engineering team. Thank you very much for the great supervision and excellent work. We recommend them for anyone who is interested to build their home!

Frequently asked questions

How much does project management cost in Dubai?

Project management fees are quoted per project and depend on the project's size, complexity and the services you need. We send a proposal after reviewing your project.

When should a project manager start?

Ideally during design, before the tender. Pre-construction planning usually takes 4-8 weeks, and we stay involved until handover.

Can you take over a project already under way?

Yes. We start by reviewing the contracts, drawings and site, then set up the controls, reports and coordination the project needs.

Can you manage a project designed by another architect?

Yes. We work with your design team, or with our own architects if we designed the project.

What reports will I receive?

Regular progress reports with site photos, the programme against plan, payments, changes and open issues, so you can follow the project without being on site.
