Certainty, scheduled.
I plan and control AED-billion construction programmes across the UAE and Saudi Arabia, so owners, PMCs and contractors know exactly where every milestone stands, every week.

Profile
Every mega-project is a promise with a date on it. My work is to keep that promise honest: a baseline the whole team believes in, a critical path watched every week, and early warnings that arrive while there is still time to act.

Selected programmes
Mixed use · UAE · 2025 – present
Retail and residential programmes worth AED 550M and AED 2.0B. I lead their planning and project controls through commissioning and handover. I set the standards the team works to and the KPI packs the Client and PMC review every month.
High-rise residential · Dubai · 2024 – 2025
Four-plus residential towers of G+45 and above, planned from the developer's side against tight handover dates. Planning for height meant sequencing structure, façade and MEP floor by floor, and catching vertical-logistics risks before they reached the critical path.
Education PPP · Al-Madinah · 2023 – 2024
A public-private partnership delivering 60 contemporary schools across Al-Madinah. I built resource-loaded P6 schedules with man-hours and machine hours for every site, and recovery programmes whenever a package slipped.
Healthcare · KSA & Egypt · 2022 – 2023
Three hospitals and a clinic centre for Andalusia Group, one in Saudi Arabia and three in Egypt. Each had a baseline, earned value tracking and delay analysis, reported to management in one consistent format.
Infrastructure · Ismailia · 2018 – 2021
The world's largest double swing bridge, crossing the Suez Canal, on a budget above $200M. This is where I learned project controls, on a structure whose milestones had to fit around one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Work breakdown
Baseline, revised and recovery programmes in Primavera P6 with clean CPM logic, realistic sequencing and resource loading, down to 2–6 week lookaheads.
Progress measurement rules, S-curves and KPI packs that tell the Client and PMC the truth about the programme in one page.
Budgets, earned value and forecasts that measure the work actually done, not only what was spent.
Schedule impact assessments, contemporaneous records and programme narratives, prepared with the commercial and legal teams.
WBS/OBS and coding standards, reporting templates, Power BI and Excel VBA automation, and a planning team mentored to apply all of it.

Straight answers
Today, two mixed-use projects worth AED 2.0B and AED 550M. Before that: G+45 towers in Dubai, a 60-school programme in Al-Madinah, four healthcare facilities, and a bridge on a budget above $200M.
Yes. At ASGC I manage and mentor the planning team across both projects: assigning workloads, reviewing programmes and updates, and enforcing planning standards.
Yes. My work permit is valid in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and I have delivered projects in Al-Madinah and Jeddah as well as Dubai.
Yes. At BINGHATTI I ran the developer's planning function for fast-track G+45 towers. At ASGC I lead planning on the contractor side. I know what each side needs from the programme, and where the disputes usually start.
Yes. I prepare schedule impact assessments, delay analysis inputs, contemporaneous records and programme narratives, working with the commercial and legal teams.
Primavera P6, MS Project and Project Tracker for scheduling, Power BI (Power Query, DAX) for dashboards, and Excel with VBA and Power Pivot for automation.

What lands on your desk
Illustrative samples with anonymised data. Real examples can be walked through in an interview, within NDA limits.
Planned against actual against forecast, so the gap and the recovery path show on one chart.
Four numbers on the first page. The detail follows for anyone who needs it.
What the site builds next, with each blocked activity flagged against its constraint.
The delay event inserted into the programme, showing exactly how many days it costs and who owns them.
Planned crews against actual crews, so a resourcing gap shows months before it shows on site.
Progress by discipline, refreshed from the P6 update with no copy-paste. Management sees the same numbers as the site.
