Our Services

Refai's program management consultancy services provide effective and efficient management of concurrent multi-disciplinary design and construction activities, systematically synchronizing multiple interrelated projects and project components to ensure that resources are available when needed, deadlines are met on schedule and contract costs are managed profitably. Refai's principals have been the driving force for the successful implementation of a wide variety of infrastructure projects and programs totaling nearly $1.2 billion in value.

Our program managers outline the goals and objectives of each project component, delegate responsibility in a controlled manner, and hold project managers accountable for performance through a variety of performance metrics, on-sight inspections and routine communication to overcome problems and meet scheduled milestones within budget. Refai's well experienced professionals use state of the art technical resources to collaboratively define, plan, integrate and implement every aspect of each project, delivering a comprehensive program that is technically and environmentally sound, practical and timely.

The profitability of any construction project requires experienced control of schedule, quality, safety and costs. Refai's construction experts have managed all phases of the construction process from concept to completion including project engineering/design and cost estimation, construction activity planning and work scheduling, procurement planning and cost controls, logistics and importation, performance and quality inspections, contract administration and subcontractor and supplier management, reporting and documentation, as well as hand-over and warranty service.

Refai’s successful construction management hinges on delivering construction projects on time, up to quality specifications and within the defined budget. Refai knows that without effective control of these three factors, successful delivery will not be possible.

In addition, our experienced and credentialed professionals are well-versed in the local challenges unique to your construction project and have the vision to identify and overcome implementation challenges before they become expensive problems.

It’s a fact that the best made construction plans are always susceptible to contingencies, whether through force majeure, differing site conditions, agency delays, outside interference, or other factors. No matter how well-planned a construction project is, construction claims are a routine occurrence.

Effective claims management often makes all the difference between a profitable project and a major loss. On the contractor side, Refai delivers on a proven track record of resolving claims profitably, quickly and effectively. On the owner side, Refai's expertise in dispute strategy and claims resolution has helped owners save millions of dollars.

Refai’s pool of claims experts and construction professionals identify, analyze and prepare construction claims and disputes with the aim of upholding a successful resolution in an efficient, cost effective and timely manner. We scrutinize every detail of the construction contract, assess entitlements, quantify damage components and support negotiations in a way that achieves effective resolution in line with our clients’ strategic interests.

Refai provides engineering and design services to satisfy client needs in various infrastructure segments: transportation, general building, water and wastewater facilities, and others. Our team has delivered numerous engineering and design projects worldwide, ranging from feasibility studies to preliminary and final designs and preparation of tender packages. 

Refai has experience in delivering engineering and design in various geographies, and using multiple local engineering sub-consultants. Refai excels in integrating the best ability of the local teams and integrates them with the skill of its own core staff. Refai has delivered engineering products by design teams that were located across different time zones. All engineering and design work is done in strict compliance with local codes, recognizes the ability of local construction contractors, and reflects local construction methods.

Refai has strong experience supporting the effective resolution of construction contract disputes. With more than 20 years of extensive experience in the industry, we have provided numerous organizations with expert advice to help resolve contractual disputes, whether through litigation or through third-party arbitration.

In the early stages of a dispute, the impartial evidence we generate has, in many cases, been sufficient for both parties to reach an amicable resolution without the cost and time implications of proceeding to court.

If an amicable resolution cannot be reached, Refai has a pool of expert witnesses available with suitable qualifications and experience. All of this experience is available in-house, enabling us to provide a seamless and responsive service.
