Architecture
We design buildings that respond to people, place, and purpose. Working closely with our clients, we translate their vision and practical needs into distinctive spaces that balance functionality, comfort, and architectural character. Environmental responsibility informs our approach from the outset. Through considered design and the use of digital modelling tools, we explore ways to use materials, energy, and space efficiently while maintaining design quality. Our services include feasibility studies, design reviews, concept design, schematic design, design development, and 3D visualisation.
Environmental responsibility guides our design decisions. We use digital modelling and analysis tools to explore how materials, energy, and space can be used more efficiently, helping us reduce environmental impact while meeting each project’s functional and design requirements.
Civil and Structural Engineering
We develop civil and structural engineering solutions tailored to each project's requirements and applicable codes and standards. Combining technical expertise with local knowledge, we balance safety, performance, buildability, and cost to support the architectural vision and practical demands of construction. Working independently or within multidisciplinary teams, we use advanced analysis and design tools to resolve complex structural challenges and coordinate our solutions with other building disciplines. Efficient use of materials is central to our approach. We assess opportunities to reduce the environmental impact of our structural designs, including the use of recycled materials and industrial by-products where appropriate.
We consider environmental impact as part of our structural design process, exploring opportunities to reduce material use and embodied carbon. Where appropriate, we assess recycled materials and industrial by-products for their suitability, while maintaining the required standards of safety, durability, and structural performance.
Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing
Drawing on MSCEB's heritage of over five decades in architecture and engineering, we design integrated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that support comfortable, safe, and energy-efficient buildings. Working closely with clients and project teams from the outset, we develop coordinated solutions that respond to each building's purpose, operational needs, and applicable codes and standards. Our team includes LEED Accredited Professionals who contribute expertise in sustainable building design. We use analysis and simulation tools to assess system performance, supported by Building Information Modelling (BIM) to coordinate services with the architecture and structure. This approach helps us balance performance, energy use, maintenance needs, and cost.
We take building audits to assess existing systems and identify opportunities for improvement.
Our services extend from feasibility studies and concept design through detailed design and construction documentation, with support for commissioning and handover.
Our design expertise covers:
- Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
- Plumbing and drainage
- Fire protection, fire detection, and voice evacuation
- Normal and emergency power distribution

Quantity Surveying
Mohammed Salahuddin Quantity Surveying (MSQS), a division of MSCEB, provides independent cost and contractual advice to help clients make informed decisions throughout their projects. From initial feasibility to final accounts, we balance cost, quality, and programme requirements, helping clients establish realistic budgets and maintain financial control.
Working closely with clients and design teams, we assess options, monitor costs, and explain the financial implications of change. Our advice supports procurement decisions and helps clients achieve value for their investment.
Our quantity surveying services cover each stage of development, from early estimates and cost planning through tendering, construction, and final account agreement.
Our services include:
- Benchmarking and feasibility estimates
- Cost planning, budgeting, and cost control
- Advice on procurement routes and contractual arrangements
- Preparation of tender documents, bills of quantities, and schedules of rates
- Tender evaluation, negotiation support, and recommendations for contract award
- Contract documentation
- Assessment of variations and contractual claims
- Valuation of completed work for progress payments
- Final account assessment and agreement
We work across residential, commercial, retail, education, industrial, and community projects.
Why Choose Us
- Our knowledge of construction costs and local market benchmarks provides a sound basis for project budgets.
- We assess proposed changes so clients can understand their cost implications before making decisions, and provide clear cost reporting throughout delivery.
Project Management
We provide project management for both MSCEB-led projects and projects designed by other consultants. Our approach centres on coordinating people, programmes, and budgets to manage time, cost, and quality in line with each client's objectives. Within MSCEB, our project managers coordinate our multidisciplinary teams, track progress, and manage delivery against the agreed scope, budget, and programme. We also offer standalone project management services to clients working with other design consultants. Working alongside the appointed teams, we coordinate responsibilities, monitor progress, and support informed, timely decisions throughout delivery. Our services can be tailored to provide a dedicated project manager or a wider management team, depending on the project's scale and complexity.
Construction Management & Supervision
We safeguard our clients' interests during construction by supervising the works and checking that the contractor's delivery meets the approved drawings, specifications, and contract requirements. Our teams monitor quality and progress, identify departures from project requirements, and follow up on corrective action.
Working closely with clients, consultants, and contractors, we provide site supervision and contract administration, supported by clear reporting and timely coordination.
Our services include:
- Reviewing materials, shop drawings, technical submissions, and mock-ups
- Inspecting works for conformity with approved project requirements
- Monitoring construction programmes and procurement progress
- Reporting on progress, cost, quality, and site safety observations
- Assessing variations, claims, and contractual matters
- Witnessing testing and commissioning
- Reviewing as-built drawings and operation and maintenance manuals
- Coordinating handover documentation and training for the client’s team
Our support can extend through the defects liability period, monitoring the rectification of outstanding defects in accordance with the contract.
