Project Management
Build quality is made on site. We provide engineering supervision for villas, apartment buildings and commercial buildings, through periodic visits or a resident engineer, together with project management and periodic technical reports through to handover.

Periodic Visits or a Resident Engineer?
| Periodic visits | Resident engineer |
|---|---|
| suit villas and mid-sized buildings. The engineer attends the critical stages: excavation and foundations, reinforcement before every pour, insulation, and services before they are closed in. | suits large or fast-track projects that need daily follow-up of all works. |
The difference is not only in cost, but in how much control you have over quality.
What the Supervisor Checks
- Foundation dimensions and levels.
- Reinforcement bars, their diameters, spacing and concrete cover.
- Concrete quality, pouring method and curing.
- Waterproofing and thermal insulation.
- Building services before they are closed in.
Project Management: More Than Supervision
Project management protects the owner from delays and budget overruns: comparing contractors' bids, scheduling the works, tracking costs and variations, and coordinating the designer, contractor and suppliers. It is especially valuable for owners who lack the time to follow the details or who manage their project from outside Riyadh.
Common Mistakes
- Pouring concrete before the supervisor has checked the reinforcement.
- A contractor's contract without clear terms on quality, variations and payments.
- Changes on site without referring to the drawings and the supervisor.
- Releasing payments without a progress report.
When Do You Need Engineering Supervision?
From the first day on site: excavation and foundations are the stage whose mistakes can least be fixed later. Then at every concrete pour, before services are closed into walls and ceilings, during waterproofing of roofs and bathrooms, and when taking over the works from the contractor. An owner who only visits the site personally may see the finish, but not the reinforcement that is about to disappear under the concrete.
What the Reports Include
- The works inspected during the visit.
- Observations, with photos.
- What the contractor must do before moving to the next stage.
- Earlier observations that have been resolved.
- Completion percentages compared with the schedule and budget on larger projects.
The Contractor's Contract
Supervision is stronger when the contractor's contract is clear: the specifications, the schedule, payments tied to progress, the procedure for variations and the responsibility for repairs. We help you review the contract and compare bids before you sign.
Handover and Acceptance
The end of a project is a sensitive stage: taking over the works from the contractor, listing and resolving snags, testing the systems, and handing over the as-built drawings and maintenance manuals. Good supervision organises this stage with a clear checklist, so the final payment is only released once the snags are resolved. Then comes the occupancy certificate application, for a building that matches its drawings, with no surprises at inspection.
After handover, we follow up with you on any defects that appear during the warranty period, documenting them and taking them back to the contractor, so the project is completed as planned. A project does not end when the keys are handed over, but when the building and its systems have settled and everything works as it should.
That is what we mean by real supervision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supervise industrial projects?
Yes, through a dedicated service within our industrial cities services.
Can supervision start after construction has begun?
It can. It starts by assessing and documenting the works already done, but it is best to start before excavation.
Is engineering supervision mandatory?
Supervision depends on the permit requirements and the project type, and it is in any case the practical guarantee of construction quality.
Who is responsible for a construction error: the supervisor or the contractor?
Each has their own responsibilities under the contract.
How can I follow my project from outside Riyadh?
Through periodic reports documented with photos, and remote meetings.
