Why FHK

Sat on every side of the table.

FHK's founder has delivered as a contractor on landmark projects including the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Tram, as a PMC on the AED 35 billion Expo 2020, and from within real estate development itself — on the developer's side of project controls. That means FHK sees the entire development life cycle, and reads every programme and dispute from all sides before your counterparty does. Boutique by design. Senior on every file. Independent by principle.

On major projects, the gap between success and dispute is rarely competence — it's documentation, programme, and contract.

What We Do

Expert construction advisory — from programme to dispute.

Eight focused services across the full life cycle of project controls, claims, and disputes — for developers and contractors across the GCC and beyond.

The Difference

Why clients choose FHK.

Seven reasons the most demanding employers and contractors in the UAE bring their hardest problems to us.

01

Technical depth meets legal rigour

A Certified Forensic Schedule Analysis Professional and LLM in Construction Law (MCIArb). Schedulers rarely understand arbitration law; lawyers rarely understand P6. FHK operates at both ends.

02

Every seat at the table

22 years as a contractor (BESIX, Laing O'Rourke, China State), as a PMC and advisor (Mace on Expo 2020, Turner & Townsend), and within real estate development as a controls director. FHK knows how every party thinks, builds its case, and argues it.

03

Built on UAE landmark projects

Burj Khalifa. Dubai Tram. ADNOC Headquarters. Expo 2020. Controls and claims advisory on the UAE's most scrutinised programmes — over AED 50 billion across a career.

04

Senior expertise on every file

Boutique by design. Every engagement is led and delivered personally by the founder — a 22-year specialist. No juniors on your file. The person you brief is the person doing the work.

05

FIDIC — deep, practical expertise

FIDIC Red and Yellow Book govern most UAE and GCC contracts. FHK's advisory is built on deep, practical FIDIC expertise — applied on live mega-projects, not in a classroom.

06

Independent. No conflicts.

Not affiliated with any contractor, developer, or law firm. Our advice is guided solely by the facts of your case and your contractual position — never by commercial relationships or referral incentives.

07

Developer programme controls

Director-level governance across the full UAE development life cycle — pre-contract to handover and TOC — informed first-hand by experience within real estate development. A rare specialism bridging developer ambition and contractor delivery.
