Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Project Management Consultancy (PMC) in construction?
+
A PMC is the client's appointed lead — accountable for delivering construction projects on time, on budget and to specification. Stonehaven acts as the single point of control across design management, procurement, contractors, regulators and stakeholder coordination, managing programme, cost, risk, quality and HSE through the full RIBA stages. In short, we run the project so the client doesn't have to.
Why hire a Tier-1 PMC for Dubai and KSA developments?
+
Tier-1 means proven delivery on complex, high-value, multi-disciplinary projects — the standard expected across the GCC. Stonehaven brings $2.6B portfolio experience, 75+ delivered developments, ISO-certified processes and a mature digital toolset spanning Procore, BIM and Autodesk Construction Cloud, hitting handover where others slip.
Do you provide ISO-certified project management services?
+
Yes. Stonehaven operates under ISO 9001 quality management certification, meaning every project follows documented, audited processes for planning, execution, change control and close-out. Lenders and institutional clients increasingly require ISO certification as a baseline for PMC appointment in the GCC.
What sectors do your project management consultants cover?
+
Stonehaven delivers project management consultancy across hospitality, residential, mixed-use, aviation and infrastructure. Sector references include JETEX (aviation), Lissoni (hospitality), Gensler-designed developments and Baituti (residential). Our PMs are deployed by sector specialism, not as generalists.
What's the difference between project management and programme management?
+
Project management runs a single project end-to-end. Programme management runs a portfolio of related projects under one strategic mandate — coordinating shared resources, governance and reporting. Most UAE and KSA clients need a programme view for multi-asset masterplans and Vision 2030 giga-projects.
