Engineering Consulting

1. Initial Project Consultation

Every successful project begins with a clear understanding of the client's vision, objectives, and requirements.

We provide professional consultations to discuss project ideas, evaluate site conditions, identify technical requirements, and establish the most appropriate direction for development.

Our services include:

• Understanding client needs, expectations, and project objectives.

• Providing preliminary engineering advice and technical recommendations.

• Reviewing initial architectural concepts and construction ideas.

• Identifying potential technical challenges and project constraints.

• Advising on the next steps required to move from concept to implementation.

Our goal: To help clients start their projects with clarity, confidence, and a well-defined plan.

2. Feasibility Studies and Technical Assessments

Before investing in construction, it is essential to understand whether a project is technically suitable and what challenges may affect its implementation.

We conduct preliminary technical assessments to help clients evaluate project conditions, compare possible solutions, and make informed decisions before committing to major expenditures.

Our services include:

• Preliminary assessment of construction sites and existing conditions.

• Review of project requirements, scope, and technical limitations.

• Evaluation of alternative construction methods and engineering solutions.

• Identification of potential risks and implementation challenges.

• Preliminary assessment of construction costs and resource requirements.

Where required, we coordinate with relevant specialists to support more detailed technical, financial, or environmental studies.

3. Engineering Design Review and Coordination

Good engineering design is essential for the safety, functionality, and long-term performance of any building or infrastructure project.

We assist clients in reviewing and coordinating engineering requirements to ensure that the proposed solutions are practical, technically consistent, and aligned with the intended use of the project.

Our services include:

• Review of architectural layouts and space planning.

• Structural design review and coordination.

• Coordination of electrical, plumbing, and mechanical requirements.

• Identification of potential conflicts between different engineering disciplines.

• Review of technical drawings, specifications, and construction details.

• Recommendations to improve functionality, constructability, and material efficiency.

Design reviews and technical recommendations are provided within the agreed scope of services and applicable professional requirements.

4. Construction Cost Estimation and Budget Planning

Controlling construction costs begins long before work starts on site. We help clients understand the financial implications of their project decisions and plan their budgets more effectively.

Our services include:

• Preliminary construction cost estimates.

• Quantity take-offs and bills of quantities.

• Analysis of construction materials and labor requirements.

• Comparison of alternative construction systems and materials.

• Identification of opportunities for cost optimization.

• Preparation and review of technical specifications and tender documents.

• Support in evaluating contractor quotations and proposed construction costs.

Our objective is to help clients achieve the required quality and performance while making efficient use of their available budgets.

5. Building Permits and Regulatory Guidance

Navigating building regulations and approval procedures can be complex without appropriate technical guidance.

We assist clients in preparing and coordinating the technical documentation required for building permits and other relevant approvals through the competent authorities and professional bodies in Lebanon.

Our services include:

• Review of project documentation against applicable requirements.

• Preparation and coordination of architectural and engineering drawings.

• Assistance with building permit applications and supporting documents.

• Follow-up on licensing procedures and technical observations.

• Technical assistance for regularization of existing building violations, where legally permissible.

• Coordination with relevant engineers, authorities, and professional institutions.

All applications and approvals remain subject to applicable regulations, the competent authorities' requirements, and their final decisions.

6. Existing Building Assessment and Rehabilitation Advice

Existing buildings may require technical evaluation before renovation, alteration, extension, or rehabilitation.

We provide engineering guidance to help clients understand existing conditions and identify appropriate measures for improving building performance and addressing observed deficiencies.

Our services include:

• Preliminary assessment of visible building defects and deterioration.

• Review of available structural drawings and technical records.

• Advice on renovation, rehabilitation, and strengthening options.

• Assessment of proposed modifications and extensions.

• Recommendations for further investigation or specialized testing when necessary.

• Coordination of rehabilitation designs and remedial works.

Structural safety assessments and strengthening recommendations are undertaken within the appropriate professional scope and supported by detailed investigation or testing when required.

7. Project Planning and Construction Strategy

A well-planned project is easier to manage, coordinate, and deliver efficiently.

We provide technical support during the planning stage to establish a clear execution strategy and identify the resources, activities, and coordination requirements necessary for successful implementation.

Our services include:

• Defining project scope and key construction activities.

• Developing preliminary construction schedules.

• Identifying required manpower, materials, and equipment.

• Reviewing construction methods and implementation sequences.

• Identifying potential delays and coordination challenges.

• Establishing practical procedures for monitoring progress and quality.

These services help clients and project teams approach construction with better organization and greater control.

8. Independent Technical Advice and Second Opinions

When clients need an independent perspective on a construction decision, design proposal, contractor quotation, or technical concern, we provide objective engineering advice based on the available information and agreed scope.

Our services include:

• Reviewing engineering proposals and construction alternatives.

• Assessing technical observations and reported defects.

• Reviewing contractor quotations and proposed work methods.

• Identifying discrepancies in drawings, specifications, or quantities.

• Providing recommendations to support informed decision-making.

• Advising when additional inspections, testing, or specialist expertise may be necessary.

Our priority is to help clients understand their options and make decisions supported by sound engineering judgment.
