AED 87,000 saved. On a single ongoing industrial project in Ras Al Khaimah.
The contractor submitted variation claims across 6 settled items totalling AED 849,524.
After our review, AED 762,342 was approved.
That is AED 87,181 that stayed in the client's pocket, not the contractor's.
And we are not finished. The largest single variation on this project — AED 638,888 — is still under review.
On top of that, progress invoices submitted by the contractor were adjusted to reflect what has actually been built on site, not what was claimed.
This is what independent project management looks like in practice. Not managing a project. Protecting the person paying for it.
If you are an investor, developer, or property owner with a project in the UAE, this is the conversation worth having before you sign your next contractor invoice.
