SOLED Management

About Us

SOLED Management Services (SOLED) is an exciting new development management and alternative construction delivery company which was created as a response to the ongoing crippling issues currently being suffered by Investors, Developers, and Contractors in the construction industry. SOLED has developed an alternative means to deliver building projects which saves both Developer's and Trade Contractors' time and money, whilst mitigating many of the common risks associated with the development and construction industry.

SOLED can deliver these benefits to an Investor / Developer by adopting an Integrated Pre-Construction Service during the design phase and then utilizing the Integrated Construction Management and Delivery Model (ICMD) during the construction delivery phase. SOLED draws upon a pool of the most talented real estate and construction professionals who have a long history of working within Tier 1 construction companies to deliver some of the most iconic landmark projects seen in the United Arab Emirates and beyond.

Our talented staff not only have a deep understanding of what it takes to deliver complex projects but also understand that these projects are best delivered when all parties and stakeholders are aligned towards the common goal and are working together in a truly integrated manner, under the ICMD methodology. Furthermore, by bringing both development services and construction services within the one dedicated team from cradle to grave, the Investor / Developer can have full confidence that an integrated approach and an aligned mindset are embraced to maximize project returns for the Investor / Developer.

Time for Change

As it is in every industry, productivity is at the forefront of business leaders' thinking, and strategies to improve productivity and efficiency are at the top of most of their lists. When considering the construction industry as a whole, productivity has only increased by 1% every year, for the past 20 years. In comparison, other industries have changed by 300% or more. Whilst most of the attention towards increasing efficiency in the construction industry has been focused on technological advancement and adaptation, little has been considered by way of procurement and delivery strategies and methodologies.

Specifically, within the Middle Eastern construction industry, which has been crippled with a myriad of issues, developers have been reluctant to move away from traditional procurement and delivery models which arguably, are exacerbating the current problems. Such was the scale of the problem, that in 2018, DLA Piper (one of the leading legal firms globally) and MEED (a Middle Eastern business intelligence publication) set out to identify the key pressures that were shaping the GCC construction industry; the underlying factors driving change; and the ways change was expected to materialize over the ensuing years.

Their report “Time for Change: Construction in the GCC reaches a tipping point” was the outcome of a series of interviews and discussions with senior executives from the region’s leading developers, contractors, government bodies, financiers, and consultants.
