Hot wins Dubawi SHUAA, Dubai Dubawi is a new mixed use skyscraper that aims to become a landmark in one of Dubai’s most dynamic and coveted neighbourhoods. Located on a 3213m2 plot of land in Business Bay, the ‘Dubawi” property will offer views of the Arabian Gulf on one side and the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower, on the other.

The 1.5Billion AED project aims to maximise the potential of this location and understands the need to differentiate from the competition to be economically successful. Ambitions are high with the objective of the building to become the ‘best hotel and branded residential units in the heart of Dubai.’

We have been appointed to provide quantity surveying and cost consultancy services on the tower which will include: • A 200 key 4*+ upscale hotel • 30 branded penthouses • 300 hotel serviced apartments • 550 residential units • Retail and recreational facilities

Key challenges on the project will include: • Achieving the required building efficiency on a vertical mixed use development • Achieving parking capacities on a relatively small site area • Differentiating the project from other mixed use development • Achieving an ambitious programme

Palm Mall Muscat Tamani Global Development & Investment LLC (Al Jarwani Group), Oman The Palm Mall project is located south of Seeb in Oman and will bring a number of ‘firsts’ to the retail sector in Oman. Featuring an aquarium, a snow park, and a family entertainment centre alongside retail, food and beverage outlets, the total built up area is approximately 161,000 m2.

We have been awarded the retail design management and a team of 10 has begun working on the full scope of services which include tenant design review and the management of retail design and delivery of the store units.

The overall built-up area of almost 250,000 m² includes two iconic G+27 towers as a 5-star hospitality / serviced apartment mix, low-rise luxury residential apartments, retail spaces, a conference centre and a mosque. The theme for Phase IV is based on the famous Qibla Compass, pointing

towards the city of Mecca and specifically to the Ka’baa. From this vantage point, the focus of the urban plan is the relationship established between the Prayer Area and the Iconic Towers, creating an emphatic coastal gateway to Doha and a world of Islamic culture.

7 51/2 YEAR PHASED DEVELOPMENT

MILLION M2 PLOT

60 seconds with

Paul Sweeney Hi Paul, welcome to Faithful+Gould Middle East! You are new to the region after joining us from AECOM in the UK. What prompted the move?

I was very keen to take up a new professional challenge, and after some interesting conversations with Spencer and Campbell, decided to join F+G in Riyadh.

Do you have any first impressions so far?

I have really enjoyed the move to KSA so far. Clearly the ME is very different to the UK, but after nearly 6 months in the Kingdom, I remain as excited as I was when I arrived. The obvious first impressions relate to climate and culture. Arriving from Scotland, there is a need to adjust to the temperature change, but the dry heat of Riyadh is more agreeable than the high humidity elsewhere in the ME. The business culture too is very different and at times can be challenging. The need to be fully prepared for meetings which may not take place for many hours after the scheduled time is a new concept. But if you are aware that this is likely, just plan accordingly. Agility is clearly a requirement for working in the region.

Tell us a bit about your career to date?

Prior to joining F+G, I was a partner in Mackenzie Partnership until 2007, a partner in Davis Langdon until 2010, and then a director in AECOM until July 2017. Amongst other things, my professional experience has involved delivering the Athletes Village for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, completing over 70 schools and hospital projects under PFI or PPP type procurement routes throughout Scotland and several stand alone major building projects in the retail, education and leisure sectors.

What will your role as head of programme management involve?

This role is precisely the kind of challenge I was hoping for. My simple objective is to help the leadership team in the ME and KSA to grow the business in line with the business plan targets for the region, with the right blend of business development success, recruitment, training and high quality professional services being delivered to clients on all our projects.

What are your top three objectives?

My top 3 objectives are: 1. Get the Al Wedyan development in Riyadh secured, mobilised with the right team, and then running smoothly as quickly as possible.

2. Meet my KSA colleagues and understand their strengths, ambitions and where their futures lie.

3. Help to build a strong, agile and profitable business in KSA.

If you could have any other job in the world, what would it be?

Professional golfer – but a really good one!

Describe yourself in 3 words – Approachable, enthusiastic, focussed.

If you could have a magic power what would it be?

To make wishes come true.

What has been your greatest challenge / biggest achievement a) personal, b) professional Personal – Trying to avoid indigestion with all the Lebanese food being consumed!

My biggest achievement is my kids, Jordan and Rowan, who are now both at University. They are very talented, so clearly take after their mother.

Professional – Every client, programme and project presents a different challenge. You need to understand each one to develop the right solution.

My most notable achievement so far is the delivery of the Athletes Village for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Finally, what is the best piece of advice you have ever heard?

You are entitled to nothing.

You only get out of life what you put into it.

Living by the values Zain Davids

Francisco Batista

Quinie Caba

Zain has showcased the professional value by building a great relationship with the client on ADIB. He worked additional hours to ensure challenging deadlines were reached, and most importantly demonstrated added value by making savings the client wasn’t aware he could achieve. This has resulted in temporary deployment being made into permanent deployment for Zavid!

Francisco has a really positive attitude, nothing is ever a problem and he is the first to respond when someone needs help. He is enthusiastic around helping others and motivates his colleagues, especially junior staff who he mentors and provides help to on a regular basis.

Quinie joined the business in 2008 as a refreshment assistant in the Dubai office. Soon after her enthusiasm and dedication to learn became apparent and she moved into the role of Document Controller for the Dubai Office.

Stephen is a valuable team member, positively striving to enhance the deliverables performed by F+G. AZAR UL-HAQ Associate Director

Systems Co-ordinator

Quinie lives and breathes the F+G values. Her positivity, friendly disposition and willingness to help has made her an asset to our team and the wider region and she displayed the collaborative value this summer when she covered for staff on projects who had taken leave, throwing herself into the deep end on mega project Yas Bay in Abu Dhabi and the high profile refurbishment of Jumeirah Beach Hotel.

She demonstrates the positive value and is continually eager to learn and broaden her skills in all areas of the business. After demonstrating an interest in the digital side of things she has now joined Nic Jacob’s team and will support the drive for digital transformation across the business.

Fiona Blakey

Chanda Kayumba

Since transferring into Faithful+Gould from Atkins in 2016 Fiona has exemplified the collaborative professional and positive values.

She has passionately gone about ensuring that we are able to evidence compliance with all the group processes and deliverables.

At times this has meant holding training sessions, working alongside project teams in preparing deliverables and coordinating action plans to colleagues in closing out issues.

She is always positive in her approach and prepared to help or participate in reaching a solution with others. Through living the values she has demonstrated to others how to approach issues and many of us have sought her support on issues.

Chanda is a hard-working QS P ro fe io n al ss who demonstrates F+G’s core values by acting with integrity, evoking trust with her client and performing her duties with the highest professional standards. She has demonstrated her ability to work collaboratively on the Dubai Airports framework being able to integrate successfully with the Atkins site supervision team and work effectively with the client, consistently working to meet their requirements to the highest standard.

Chanda always remains positive and self-motivated in her engagements and promotes a great team spirit in the wider project.

This positive and collaborative attitude has been recognised by others outside the region and has seen Fiona support our QSSE global management and the AsiaPac region in solving compliance issues. She has played a central role in the development of our Integra site and the processes and documents that sit behind it so that we now have the most professional looking Integra site in F+G worldwide.

AZAR UL-HAQ Associate Director

Regional QSSE Manager

Finally she combines all three of our values in managing the document controllers and admin staff in the UAE, being a people person she provides support to her team not only on a professional level but a personal level.

You issue a Request For Inquiry (RFI) Quotation to potential suppliervs to provide construction work. You have worked with all three firms and think one of them has consistently done superior work. The bids are all very close but your favorite firm’s bid is slightly more expensive and will push costs over budget.

Should you reveal the lowest bid to your preferred firm so they can come in just under it? After all, it is better for your company if they get superior quality.

What would you do? See page 25 for guidance.

Work anniversaries Paul Kistner Finance Director

Paul Kistner originally joined Atkins in 2007 as a project accountant and in 2014 joined the Faithful+Gould Middle East business. He currently holds the postion of finance director and sits on the Middle East Leadership team.

When I first joined Atkins I didn’t expect to still be in the company 10 years later! Atkins has provided many opportunities to move around the company and develop my career which I’m very grateful for. But I’m most grateful for the last three years as part of a brilliant F+G team which is full of energetic, talented and fun people that I enjoy working with everyday.

Simon Dawson Regional Director

Simon Dawson began his career in Faithful+Gould’s Edinburgh Office back in 1990, almost 27 years ago (with short career break in 1995). Since moving to the Middle East he has spent time in the UAE and KSA and is currently based in Riyadh, working on the Al Wedyan project.

“An opportunity arose internally as the commercial manager on a new F+G commission, Saudi Arabia’s ‘National Water Company’ to which I tentatively enquired about, and before I knew it I was accepted by the client, visa processed, bags packed and was jetting off to work in the Middle East all in the space of 8 weeks!

Faithful+Gould has provided me with the opportunity to work on many diverse projects all over the UK and Middle East, covering every work sector; retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, commercial offices (government & private), civils infrastructure, industrial, transportation, commercial offices (government & private). I started in the F+G Edinburgh office working alongside Donald Lawson for four years, and at that point the Edinburgh office only consisted of about 20 staff, how things have changed. One of the most memorable projects Donald and I worked on together was the pathfinder Falkirk Schools PFI project, the first education PFI project in Scotland (1995), advising the client, Falkirk Council. It still brings a smile to my face when I remember the client receptionist announcing “Lawson & Dawson” are here!

I can honestly say there has never been a dull moment working for F+G, working on some amazing projects, in amazing locations with a great bunch of colleagues.”

Kudamaduwage Fernando Quantity Surveyor

Kudamaduwage joined the Faithful+Gould business as a quantity surveyor on the prestigious JLT project in Dubai. He then moved to Abu Dhabi in 2012 to join the Atkins team to provide commercial services to the client for the Al Forsan Hotel Development. He had provided effective support for the client to successfully complete the project and hand over to the operator- Marriott International. He now specialises in hospitality projects and currently based on Rawdhat Residential project in Abu Dhabi.

Brian Fisher Regional Director

Brian joined the business with the Confluence acquisition in 2013.

As our head of project management, Brian is responsible for the business development and delivery of regional project management operations within the Middle East.

“10 years – wow! I was fitter, thinner and had dark hair when I joined the F+G family. The time has flown by and I have had great experiences along the way. Even more exciting is what is to come for F+G in the future.”

‘During my career with F+G, I have been fortunate to work with an excellent working environment with the project team members in F+G and Atkins. In this 10 years, I have developed my skills as a post contract quantity surveyor to deal with complex commercial issues with the contractors and assisted the project team and the client to resolve them without going in to major dispute level or disagreement. I am looking forward to further develop my skills in quantity surveying and assist the client to deliver the projects as per their requirement’

Ethics Moment Guidance

• Giving one supplier an edge over the others by divulging confidential information is anti-competitive behaviour and is, thus, in breach of the Code.

• As for the quality issue, the RFI criteria should include quality as well; rarely is price the only reason for winning a bid or awarding a contract.

• You should definitely not reveal any bid to your preferred firm.
