Sustainable Buildings
The MENA region is synonymous with sleek cutting edge building design juxtapositioned against traditional arabic architecture. The marriage of how to design prime real estate whilst still factoring in the harsh climatic conditions is a constant challenge for engineers and architects across the region. SRS have decades of experience working with consultants, contractors, building product suppliers & manufacturers across the region and have an extensive network of contacts for our clients can tap into.
