General Contracting & Construction Works

General contracting starts by defining included work, exclusions, current drawings, and specifications. Activity sequence, site requirements, materials, and inspection points should be reviewed before execution so the owner's, contractor's, and consultant's responsibilities are clear and documented in writing.

The actual scope depends on the contract and project. The office's listed areas include building and structural work, all types of reinforced concrete, site preparation, excavation and backfill, and construction coordination between different teams on site. This page does not replace the project contract, approved drawings, or review by the responsible engineer.

El-Eman Office provides general contracting services in Alexandria and across Egyptian governorates with a focus on quality and adherence to the agreed project schedule. Services cover plain and reinforced concrete work, masonry in brick and stone, waterproofing and thermal insulation, window and door installation, and interior and exterior finishing. The office also coordinates with electrical, plumbing, and HVAC teams to prevent work conflicts and ensure smooth progress across all trades.

Before mobilizing equipment, the team reviews work limits, approved drawing revisions, site access points, material storage areas, survey control points, reference levels, and occupational safety requirements. Buried-utility information for drainage, water, electrical, and gas lines must be verified with responsible authorities, and approved detection procedures must be followed before excavation begins. A plan alone does not confirm field locations, and actual positions may differ from what is drawn.

Where survey or setting-out is needed, the team establishes coordinate and level references and ties all measurements to consultant-approved drawings. El-Eman Office has an integrated surveying team within its contracting operations, ensuring accurate setting-out and level control without the need to engage a separate surveying firm. This integration reduces coordination overhead, prevents delays waiting for external surveyors, and keeps spatial accuracy under direct quality control.

All changes, inspection records, and executed quantities are documented under the approved contract process, including the drawing revision used, the measurement method, and any assumptions applied. Handover scope and preliminary and final acceptance records are defined according to the written agreement between all parties.

The office enforces occupational safety standards across all work sites, including provision of personal protective equipment, securing work zones, and training workers on safety procedures. A construction waste management plan is also prepared to ensure proper disposal in compliance with applicable environmental requirements.
