About us

A licensed engineering office on your side, from plot plan to handover

The African Center for Engineering Consultancy is an engineering consultancy registered in Qatar under Engineering Registration No. 406, in Architecture & Civil Engineering, Grade 3.

Too many owners sign with a contractor blind: no complete drawings, no BOQ, no fair comparison. So we built a platform that makes every step clear and documented: we design, tender, open the bids in front of you, draft the contract and supervise until handover.

How it works

Nine clear steps from plot to keys

At every stage you know who is working, what we need from you and what you have received.

  1. Step 01

    We take your brief

    You send the plot plan, title deed and loan approval, and we listen to what you want in your home.

  2. Step 02

    We review the project and set the budget

    We match your brief to the plot size and loan amount to set a realistic budget before drawing anything.

  3. Step 03

    Design and cost study

    We design the architectural and structural drawings and prepare the specifications, BOQ and cost estimate.

  4. Step 04

    Authority approvals (Municipality, Kahramaa, Civil Defence)

    We follow the drawings through the Municipality, Kahramaa and Civil Defence until the building permit is issued.

    Building permit documents approved by the Municipality
  5. Step 05

    Online tender

    We publish the project to registered contractors with the same documents and an announced closing date.

  6. Step 06

    Contractors submit their bids

    Every contractor prices the same BOQ, so the comparison is fair from the start.

  7. Step 07

    Transparent bid opening and analysis

    We open bids on time, analyse them line by line and flag unrealistic prices.
