01The technical decision
The engineer who reviews the project stays close to the technical decision.
Eng. Abdulmonem Faraj, a civil engineer with long experience in Riyadh's construction sector, leads the technical review of projects. He reviews project files and execution scope before pricing, and takes part in the key execution decisions for the projects Constrak accepts.
02Review principles
Five rules that govern the review before any commitment.
- 01
No price goes out before the technical file is fully reviewed — completeness, conflicts, and quantities.
- 02
Any scope ambiguity is documented in writing before any commitment, never left for a later interpretation.
- 03
Whether a site visit is needed is decided by how complete the files are, not a fixed assumption for every project.
- 04
Mandatory checks before pouring are fixed into the sequence, never a step skipped to save time.
- 05
Regulated engineering design and approval stay a licensed engineering office's responsibility, not part of this review.
03Worked example
Reading the technical file
Stage two of Constrak's own workflow is the technical review — five separate questions put to every project file before pricing, not one general check.
01Completeness
Are the permit, drawings, and bill of quantities actually on file, or do they need to be requested first?
02Conflicts
Does the architectural drawing agree with the structural drawing and the site's actual boundaries?
03Quantities
Do the stated quantities actually cover the scope the drawings describe?
04Site requirements
Does this specific site need a field visit before any assumption is locked in?
05Pricing assumptions
What assumptions is the quotation built on, and where do they need to be spelled out in writing to the client?
04Role boundaries
Do you provide design and regulatory approval?
Constrak is a construction and execution establishment. Where regulated design or approval services form part of a project, they are carried out and certified by an appropriately licensed engineering office under a clearly defined scope and agreement.
