Vela
Services
We work on the owner's side, from advising on the development through to handover. Five service lines, offered together or separately.
Development Advisory
Development advisory and owner's representation · masterplan procurement and management
We help you appoint the right masterplanner and hold them to the brief. The appointment is yours, made directly, so responsibility for the masterplan sits with the firm producing it.
Project Management
Project management · programme management · design management · strategic project advisory · risk management · project controls
Whether the work is a single building or a rolling capital programme across several sites.
Cost Management
Cost estimation and bills of quantities · cost planning · procurement, tender and contract documentation · contract administration · value engineering · variation and cost control · final accounts
Construction Supervision
Site supervision across architectural, structural and MEP · snagging, handover and close-out
Reporting to you on programme, cost, quality, submittals and site safety, as your own independent assessment rather than a summary of what the contractor says.
Design and Documentation
Production, working to a design prepared and approved by others: detailed design and tender documentation · BIM production and coordination
Original design, on selected projects: architectural design · interior design · landscape design
We produce and originate design. We do not act as Architect or Engineer of Record, and we do not obtain authority approvals.
Who we work with
Corporate and institutional owners
Organisations that build, but whose main business is something else. Family groups, industrial and trading businesses, hospitality operators, healthcare and education providers.
Real estate developers
Developers who do not have their own project team, where Vela becomes that team. And developers who do have one, but have more work than it can handle, or need a service their team does not cover.
Across residential, mixed use, commercial, industrial, retail and hospitality. United Arab Emirates.
