Egis strengthens its multidisciplinary offering with the launch of new consultancy services across the Middle East region.
Global leader in architecture, consulting, construction engineering and mobility services, Egis, has announced the launch of its cost management services across the Middle East and South Asia.
With unprecedented levels of investment in infrastructure, real estate, and sustainable urban developments, the demand for strategic cost consultancy has never been greater. This strategic move ensures that Egis is uniquely positioned to deliver unparalleled value to clients by integrating commercial insight with its well-established multidisciplinary expertise. Clients benefit from a seamless, end-to-end consultancy offering, where cost consultancy forms a cornerstone in realising ambitious masterplans, giga-projects and critical national infrastructure.
To lead the initiative, Egis has appointed Simon Trafford as regional director for cost consultancy. With over 35 years of experience in cost consultancy services, Trafford has played a pivotal role in shaping the financial frameworks of some of the world’s most ambitious and transformative developments.
Commenting on his appointment, Trafford said: “I am delighted to be joining this dynamic and rapidly expanding business. This is an exciting time to be part of Egis and contribute to their transformational journey. The acceleration of development across the market means placing greater emphasis on cost predictability, value engineering and commercial efficiency.
“Through our integrated delivery model and building on the legacy and expertise from the recent Thomas & Adamson acquisition, Egis is now uniquely positioned to tackle these challenges, delivering sustainable, future-ready cities and developments. Furthermore, by adding cost consultancy to our portfolio of services we will enhance our clients’ experience by providing a knowledge-based commercial proposition to the success of all our projects.”
Trafford’s appointment follows Egis’s acquisition of Thomas & Adamson, a UK-based cost management firm, a move which significantly strengthened Egis’ advisory capabilities, enabling a robust cost management function that aligns seamlessly with client needs in the Middle East and South Asia. By embedding cost consultancy within its multidisciplinary approach, Egis believes that it offers a distinct advantage – bringing together technical excellence, economic prudence and sustainable foresight to deliver projects that are future-proofed against emerging industry challenges.
Egis has 3,500 employees across eight countries in the Middle East and has delivered over 700 complex development projects, stimulating economic growth and enhancing quality of life. Egis’s operations in the Middle East are built on strategic acquisitions and a deep understanding of local market conditions. The company’s long history of providing comprehensive engineering, consulting and project management services makes it a trusted partner for regional governments, investors and developers.
