Project Management & Site Supervision

The Objective: executing the project to the highest engineering standards through uncompromising site control and schedule enforcement.

Our flagship The largest service line at INGEX. Most of our active UAE engagements run through it.
Core scope

Four workstreams. One accountable lead.

Where the budget and the schedule are won or lost. Daily oversight, weekly reporting, monthly reconciliation — every milestone produces a written deliverable owned by you.

  • — Programme & baseline control
  • — Resource & risk management
  • — Stakeholder & authority coordination
  • — Monthly owner report
02

Site Supervision & QA/QC

Independent quality assurance and control with daily field inspections. Material approvals checked against tendered specification, witness testing for MEP and life safety.

  • — Daily site presence
  • — Material approval & substitution control
  • — Non-conformance reports
  • — Witness testing & sign-off
03

Commercial Control

Managing payment certificates, validating claims, and enforcing progress. Every Variation Order reviewed within 48 hours with a written recommendation.

  • — Variation Order review & rejection
  • — Payment certificate validation

04

Commissioning & Handover

Overseeing final testing, snagging, and seamless facility handover. Nothing is signed without a written close-out.

How we work

Five steps. From mobilisation through the 12-month defect-liability period.

PMC is the discipline of doing the same things every week — and writing them down. The tools change project to project; the cadence doesn't.

01

Mobilisation & baseline lock

First two weeks: contractor mobilisation overseen, baseline programme reviewed and locked, risk register issued, communication protocols established. Owner reporting cadence agreed.

Week 1 — 2 · Output: mobilisation memo + risk register
02

Construction oversight — daily

INGEX engineer on site every working day. Material approvals checked against tendered spec, non-conformance reports issued in writing, witness testing for MEP and life-safety systems.

Daily · Output: site inspection log + NCR register
03

Monthly cost & schedule reconciliation

Single PDF to the owner each month: schedule against baseline, cost against budget, risk position, decisions required. Page one tells you if anything is wrong. Every Variation Order reviewed within 48 hours.

Monthly · Output: owner report (PDF)
04

Snagging & commissioning

Room-by-room defect log, MEP commissioning witness, statutory authority sign-off coordinated. Nothing is signed without a written close-out — including from us.

Final 8 — 12 weeks · Output: snag log + commissioning pack
05

Handover & DLP oversight

Owner takeover with full documentation transfer. Quarterly inspections during the 12-month defect liability period, retention release recommendations, final close-out dossier.

Handover + 12 months · Output: close-out dossier
Frequently asked

Answers, before the call.

The five questions owners ask in nearly every first conversation about Stage 5–6 PMC.

01 Daily site presence — really?

Yes. On every active construction project, an INGEX engineer is on site every working day. We do not rotate inspectors weekly. Daily presence is non-negotiable on PMC mandates because absent oversight is the leading indicator of defect risk at handover.

02 What if a project is already mid-construction?

We take it over. The first deliverable in a recovery engagement is a 14-day written situation report establishing the actual position — not the reported one. About one in four PMC mandates we sign is a mid-construction recovery.

03 Do you have authority to stop work?

Yes, on critical NCRs we instruct work-stop with owner approval. The threshold and the sign-off path are written into every PMC engagement letter so the contractor knows the rules from day one.

04 How much does PMC typically cost?

Scope-dependent. Full PMC on a mid-rise residential typically sits in the 1.5–3.5% of construction value range. Smaller fit-out projects are quoted as fixed monthly fees. We share an indicative number after a 30-minute call and a binding proposal within five business days.

05 What happens after handover?

The PMC engagement extends through the 12-month defect liability period at a reduced cadence — quarterly inspections, retention release recommendations, final close-out dossier. For longer-term protection, owners typically move to a Stage-7 inspection / TDD engagement.

Where are you now?

Tell us about the project.

Especially relevant if a project is mid-construction and the contractor relationship has soured. First PMC deliverable in a recovery is a written 14-day situation report.
