Your Technical Office – Without the Overhead
Running a construction company in the UAE without a technical office means one of two things: you hire a full in-house team at significant monthly cost, or you manage technical work yourself while running the project. Neither is efficient. Buildesk is a Dubai-based technical office that works as your outsourced engineering department – handling the documentation, drawings, and calculations so you can focus on building.
Who This Service Is For
- Small to mid-size contractors who cannot justify a full in-house technical team but need professional engineering documentation for every project
- Main contractors with a temporary capacity gap – you have the team for most projects but this one needs additional technical support
- Subcontractors who need to produce professional submittals, shop drawings, and BOQs to compete for larger contracts
- Owners and developers who want an independent technical review of contractor drawings and BOQs before approving
What Our Technical Office Covers
BOQ Preparation and Quantity Takeoff
Detailed Bills of Quantities measured from your drawings – concrete, blockwork, plaster, tiling, steelwork, MEP, and finishes. Itemised by trade, formatted for tendering or internal budgeting, with full quantity backup.
Cost Estimation and Tender Pricing
Material quantities priced at current UAE market rates, with labour build-up and subcontractor allowances. We produce priced BOQs for tender submissions that reflect real-market costs, not guesswork.
Shop Drawings – Architectural, Structural, and MEP
Construction-ready shop drawings produced from approved design drawings. Fully coordinated across disciplines before issue, formatted for Dubai Municipality and UAE authority submissions.
Bar Bending Schedules (BBS)
Complete rebar schedules for all structural elements – footing, columns, beams, slabs, staircases. Cut and bend lists formatted for direct use by your bar-bending yard, with material quantities per element.
Method Statements
Professionally prepared method statements for construction activities – required by Dubai Municipality, DEWA, and most main contractors before work begins.
Material Approval Requests and Submittals
Product data sheets, material sample documentation, and formal submittal packages prepared in the format required by your consultant or client.
Primavera P6 Scheduling
Project programmes prepared in Primavera P6 – baseline schedules, progress updates, look-ahead programmes, and delay analyses.
BIM Services
3D modelling, clash detection, and coordinated BIM models in Revit or Navisworks for projects requiring BIM deliverables.
The Cost Advantage
A mid-level technical engineer in Dubai costs AED 8,000-14,000 per month in salary alone, before visa, insurance, and equipment. Buildesk provides the same technical output, when you need it, project by project – you pay for work done, not headcount carried.
Based in Dubai. Available Across the UAE.
Our office is in Dubai. We work on projects across all seven emirates. If you need a site visit, technical meeting, or authority submission support, we are available. This is not an offshore service – it is a local technical office you can walk into.
Contact us to discuss your project and we will propose a scope and fee that fits how you work.
