INTRODUCTION

I joined AMB Building as Construction Manager in 1999 having completed 10 years in the UK as a Chartered Surveyor. Since then I have focused my efforts on improving and standardising procedures for the management of our construction projects. The creation of the AMBB Quality Control Manual (now in its 8^th revision) is our first step towards ISO accreditation and it establishes best practice procedures to deliver our quality promise to clients. Regular audits at Head Office and sites identify training requirements and additions or improvements to our procedures. It is a cycle of continuous improvement and one that befits our status as a Chartered Building Company. 

Whilst AMBB’s turnover has grown rapidly since 2003 we have still retained an intimate management structure able to respond quickly to the challenges of contracting in the U.A.E. We have no desire to become a large company and will instead continue to focus on our niche in the market – projects that are too small for the large contractors to be interested in whilst being too demanding for smaller contractors to satisfy the client’s quality and programme requirements. We do not specialize in any particular activity – our capabilities are extremely diverse. We aim to build on our excellent reputation and be in the shortlists of all clients who insist on quality and reliability.
