Behind every successful engineering office is a person who, at some point, decided to turn field experience into an independent firm. For EL EMAN General Contracting & Surveying Office in Alexandria, that person is Eng. Mohamed Ibrahim Abouhamida, founder and general manager since December 2021. This article introduces him: who he is, what he does day to day at the office, and why that matters if you are looking for a surveying office or contractor you can trust.
Who is Eng. Mohamed Ibrahim Abouhamida?
Eng. Mohamed Ibrahim Abouhamida is an Egyptian engineer who has worked in surveying and contracting since 2015. He started on site rather than behind a desk: land surveys, setting out, construction follow-up, and later technical office work and quantity calculation. After years with offices and major contractors in Alexandria, Cairo and the North Coast, he founded EL EMAN in December 2021 to offer the service he had wanted as a site engineer: accurate measurement, respect for deadlines and clear communication with the client.
His role at EL EMAN
As founder and general manager, Eng. Mohamed Abouhamida runs the whole office. His responsibilities fall into four areas:
- Running the office: overseeing operations, administration and finance since the office was founded in 2021.
- Leading the engineering and survey teams: directing the teams to complete site work accurately, to approved standards and on schedule.
- Equipment: managing and supplying modern survey instruments such as total stations and GPS, and making sure each project has the technical resources it needs.
- Client and contractor relationships: building long-term relationships with clients and contractors, and growing the office's surveying and contracting work.
What the office offers under his management
EL EMAN works in three connected fields, the same fields in which its founder built his experience:
- Surveying and geodesy: survey and setting out for construction, residential and industrial projects, grid levelling and cut-and-fill quantities, marine survey and as-built drawings. More on the surveying services page.
- General contracting and infrastructure: road and utility networks, structural and concrete works, site grading and landscaping.
- Technical office and GIS: processing field data into maps and models, and spatial databases in ArcGIS Pro.
The office uses GNSS RTK receivers, total stations, automatic levels and echo sounders, with Civil 3D, AutoCAD, ArcGIS Pro, Sokkia Link and Land Desktop.
Experience with major clients and contractors
A key strength is that his experience was built inside large projects with strict standards. He worked with Kharafi National, El Gharably Integrated Engineering and Micro Engo in Alexandria. Since founding the office, his team has worked on projects such as the Saint Catherine and Nuweiba substations in South Sinai, the Al-Fustat Gardens development, the Mostakbal Misr sustainable development project (Zone 9) and Ras El Hekma. You can browse them in detail on our projects page.
His message in a few words
In the office's company portfolio, Eng. Mohamed Abouhamida sums up his view: precise measurement and respect for schedules have become the real measure of any project's success, and the trust of the clients and contractors the office has worked with is what drives it to keep the same standard. The office motto says the same: "Accuracy in measurement, quality in execution, commitment to engineering standards."
Why it matters who runs the office
When you choose a surveying office or contractor, you are really choosing a way of working. Knowing the manager's background tells you:
- which projects he understands well, from roads and infrastructure to substations and residential compounds;
- which standards he applies, having learned them in firms working to national-project specifications;
- how quickly decisions get made, since the founder follows the work himself and you can reach him directly.
