18 MEA MARKETS / APRIL 2017 , Saudi Diyar Consultants Architects& Engineers is an innovative architectural firmdedicated to offering the very highest standard of service. We invited Principal, Donald Bordui to share the secrets behind the firm’s success. Best Multi-Discipline Architectural Design Firm - Saudi Arabia Established in 1985 Saudi Diyar Consultants is headquartered in Jeddah with multiple offices throughout Saudi Arabia and regional offices in Cairo and Beirut. With staff resources of over 1,000, Saudi Diyar Consultants is one of the top architectural and engineering practices in the Kingdom, and one of the largest within the region with a 32-year reputation for design excellence, and a portfolio that includes some of the most prominent architectural accomplishments within the Kingdom. Donald is eager to outline the secrets behind the firm’s success. “Saudi Diyar Consultants’ success is reflected in the continued expansion of the company and of the services we offer. We are committed to improving the scope and quality of our services and to driving forward advancements in our design skills and technical capabilities. These include providing a recognized skill and knowledge in designing buildings that are responsive to the local environment and culture they are built within. “Our vision is ‘IDEAS – Inspirational Design Enriching Arabian Societies’ where we are regarded as the architectural practice of choice for clients, contractors and employees while enriching the Arabian Social MAB17010 urban fabric. We view the design process holistically – as a team effort – and believe that when we engage the best people for a project and support them with the right tools for a project, we enable something special to be achieved. Saudi Diyar Consultants is an investor in people. “In order to achieve this vision, we work across a variety of sectors and have particular expertise and experience in healthcare, hotels and resorts, commercial, residential, retail, educational, institutional, mission critical facilities, warehouses with a diversified portfolio of clients ranging from Government Ministries, real estate developers, investment and development companies, and public sector universities to name a few. This allows us a vast portfolio of ideas and projects from which we draw when working with any new client.” The construction Industry in the Arabian market is currently facing uphill challenges through the brunt of fiscal austerity measures, barring a few selected areas of the construction industry. Given a broad range of indicators, activity is to remain weak for the foreseeable future. Despite this challenge, Donald believes that Diyar is in a strong position to benefit from future growth thanks to its innovative focus and commitment to excellence.
