Why FHK

Sat on every side of the table.

FHK Consultancy was established on more than two decades of experience across contracting, project management consultancy, government programmes, and real estate development. The firm's advisory approach combines project-controls expertise, commercial awareness, and construction law to provide practical solutions to complex project challenges.

FHK Consultancy has supported landmark projects and development portfolios throughout the UAE and wider GCC, providing independent advice across project controls, claims management, governance, and dispute resolution.

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.

Nine focused services across the full life cycle of project controls, governance, claims, and disputes — for developers, contractors, and asset owners across the UAE and GCC.

The Difference

Why clients choose FHK.

Seven reasons developers, contractors, and asset owners across the UAE and GCC bring their most complex challenges to FHK.

01

Technical depth meets legal rigour

FHK pairs certified forensic scheduling with construction-law expertise (LLM, MCIArb). Schedulers rarely understand arbitration law; lawyers rarely understand P6. FHK operates at both ends.

02

Every seat at the table

FHK Consultancy brings experience across contracting (BESIX, Laing O'Rourke, China State), project management consultancy (Mace on Expo 2020, Turner & Townsend), and real estate development — so it 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 the firm's track record.

04

Senior-led, every assignment

Every engagement is led by senior practitioners with direct experience in project controls, claims, and dispute resolution. FHK maintains a deliberately selective portfolio to ensure senior involvement throughout each assignment.

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

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