Previously, the most common method to employ was the General Contracting method, where the contractor and designer were two independent entities and the project was awarded based on a competitive bid and a lump-sum price. Research has shown that a Construction Manager not only understands the professional knowledge required for a project but also bridges the gap between the contractor and designer and promotes cooperation between the two.

  • Fujairah Mosque Worthy of Sheikh Zayed's Great Name
    Fujairah mosque worthy of Sheikh Zayed’s great name Hesham Amin, managing director of Mabani Engineering Consulting, which undertook the Dh200 million construction of Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Fujairah. Reem Mohammed / The National Asmaa Al Hameli October 18, 2015 The emirate is home to the oldest and the newest mosque in the country with the completion of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. Drawing on Istanbul’s Blue Mosque in its design, it is a beautiful and unique place of worship. After six centuries, tiny Al Bidya Mosque has earned the title of the country’s oldest working mosque. In a few months, visitors to Fujairah will also be able to go to the newest, and one of the most spectacular, places of worship. Named in honour of the Founding Father of the UAE, this Sheikh Zayed Mosque is second in size only to the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. Its design is likely to become as familiar and as loved as its namesake in the capital, drawing on Istanbul’s famous Sultan Ahmed Mosque, better known as the Blue Mosque after the tiles that cover its interior. Ten years in the planning and funded by President Sheikh Khalifa, construction of the Dh200 million mosque was given to a team from Mabani Engineering Consulting, under the Government of Fujairah and the Ministry of Public Works. The company was given 700 days to complete the project. Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Ruler of Fujairah, also played a key role in its design. “When we took over the project, we proposed several designs to Sheikh Hamad,” says Hesham Amin, managing director of Mabani.
