At ECG, we understand that master planning guides growth and development, and as such is paramount to the future success of all projects. This is why we really give it our all.
Our master planning approach covers urban planning, land-use planning, transportation facilities, open spaces, and public services, as well as environment and heritage conservation precincts; and if this is not enough, we conduct a broad range of other studies pertaining to air, soil, water, health, and safety.
These studies include Economic Impact Analyses, Energy Efficiency Potential Studies, Environmental Impact Assessments, Feasibility Studies, Geotechnical & Ground Engineering Studies, GIS Studies, Hazard & Operability Studies (HAZOP), Hydrologic & Hydraulic Studies, Land Valuations, Marketing Researches, Population Studies, Real Estate & Asset Appraisals, Social Impact Assessments, Solid Waste Management Studies, Traffic Impact Assessments, Urban Development Studies, and water, air, and soil characterizations.
This meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive approach has paid off. Today, we are the trusted name in the field of engineering consultancy both nationally and globally. In addition, we take great pride in that.
What makes us the premier design firm in the MENA region and Sub-Saharan Africa?
The answer comes in one all-encompassing word: Versatility.
Versatility is what allows us to meet the requirements of diverse projects and respond to the needs of different individuals. Versatility is what allows us to innovate and adapt wherever we are in the world. Versatility is also how we always manage to reconcile cost-effectiveness with great quality.
Our extensive range of engineering and design services plays a great role in enhancing this versatility as well:
ECG’s engineering services cover MEP, infrastructure, transportation and process engineering, in conjunction with a range of supplementary engineering services. These include civil and environmental engineering, together with fire protection, lighting, communications, security, and building management systems.
Our design services, on the other hand, cover Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED), Conceptual Design, Preliminary Design, Basis of Design Reports (BODRs), Schematic Design, Design Development, Detailed Design, Design Optimization, Construction Documents, Value Engineering and Computer Simulations.
We will admit we are perfectionists. When it comes to architectural design, we want to be innovative, functional, beautiful, environmentally friendly, and above all, we want to leave a legacy for the generations to come. We also want to bring all that to every possible structure. Whether it be a bridge or a highway, an exterior or an interior, we want it to shine.
Although this perfectionism keeps us up all night, it also pays off. We are very proud of our contributions to some of the most prestigious projects in the region: From landmark high-rises and mega residential compounds, to business parks and LEED compliant buildings, and from acoustics and vertical transportation to conveyor systems and much more.
Do you want to be on time, on budget and in compliance with regulations, quality standards, and HSE management systems? Our construction management and supervision services will guide your project from A to Z, so you can achieve just that.
As your construction management team we will review your contracts and negotiations, analyze your change orders, develop your project staffing plans, provide need-based training and coaching, manage your bidding process, estimate and evaluate your costs, plan your construction schedule, provide inspection and quality assurance, apply project controls, evaluate your project’s productivity, assist with value engineering and earned-value management, and preside over matters of dispute and resolution.
As your constructions supervisors, we will have eyes for you everywhere. We will provide daily site supervision and inspection, review your shop drawings, test your materials, systems, and installations, oversee non-destructive testing, verify project documentation and as-built documentation, commission installed systems, close-out and handover documentation, verify and certify third parties, as well as be responsible for facility management and maintenance supervision.
Whether you are a local or international client, whether you require traditional construction services or untraditional ones, and whether your project is at its inception or tail end, our premium project management services have you covered.
Our competence lies in our in-depth knowledge and our abidance with the Project Management Institute (PMI) global standards. As such, we handle the planning, analysis, and proactive decision-making associated with every stage of the project lifecycle.
In this challenging yet deeply gratifying process, our PMI-certified project management professionals roll up their sleeves and lead cross-functional project teams who regularly facilitate the following aspects:
Program charters, work breakdown structures, staffing analysis, identification of project activities, governance procedures, standard reports, coding structures, metrics, and templates, detailed project schedules, validation and compression of schedules, time-cost tradeoff, generation of status memos, implementation of site facilities, risk mitigation, tight control of scopes, schedules, and budgets, and management of the design, planning, and execution stages.
