Wynn Al Marjan Island Resort & Casino

A USD 5.1 billion integrated resort. On Levels 40 to 42 I carry out the architectural finishing works: tiling, joinery, fire sealant, gypsum ceilings and gypsum board walls, working with the subcontractor trades on site.

I take part in the inspections of these works and follow each area through snagging, working to hand it over complete.

Entertainment, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt

VOX Cinemas and Magic Planet

Consultant-side quality control and project management for VOX Cinemas, Magic Planet and other entertainment facilities, with regular site visits across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the other emirates, Riyadh and Egypt.

I inspected front- and back-of-house areas, from offices, kitchens and security rooms to MEP and technical rooms, storage and roofs, and prepared the Site Observation Report (SOR) files for each facility: technical findings, corrective actions and cost implications feeding the client's CAPEX planning. I presented findings in client meetings, agreed solutions with contractors and verified every close-out.

I coordinated architectural works with electrical and mechanical activities to keep sequencing and delivery on track, and ran daily production follow-ups and quality checks on site.
