Project planning

We at MAB Building Limited understand that a good construction plan is a key component for building the right proposal and the schedule for works. We focus and outline the steps and materials required to establish a proposal which best suits our client’s requirements and budget.

By outlining the required activities, the implications and costs of these activities and by providing our clients with options among the various alternative means to achieve their desired outcome, we ensure that the work carried out is completed successfully and to expectation.

Determining and agreeing the right approach for the job, with our client, is an important factor to our success stories. However reviewing and establishing the construction methods, materials, tools, safety and equipment the job will require is where our experience and knowledge comes into play.
