Client Advisory Services
Guiding Every Decision from Vision to Value
Be a project owner or a developer in the UAE, your exposure to cost overruns, programme delays, and contractual disputes is significant — particularly when you lack an independent, experienced representative to protect your interests on the ground.
3EG’s Client Advisory Services provide exactly that protection. Acting as your Employer’s Representative, Independent Cost Auditor, or Project Monitor, we ensure that your project is delivered to specification, on budget, and on time — with your commercial and contractual interests fully safeguarded at every decision point.
Our Client Advisory Services
Employer's Representative / Owner's Agent
One of the most critical roles in any UAE construction contract, the Employer’s Representative acts as the owner’s eyes, ears, and voice on the project — making independent decisions, issuing instructions, and protecting the employer’s contractual position throughout the project lifecycle.
- Acting as named Employer's Representative under FIDIC, JCT, and NEC contracts
- Instruction and variation management on behalf of the client
- Quality and progress oversight — independent of contractor claims
- Certification of payments — ensuring only legitimate claims are approved
- Dispute avoidance and proactive issue resolution
Independent Cost Audit Services
For developers, lenders, and investors who require confidence that project funds are being properly applied, 3EG PMC’s Independent Cost Audit service provides rigorous verification of contractor claims, BOQ measurements, and financial progress against budget.
- Payment application audit — line-by-line verification of contractor claims
- BOQ and re-measurement auditing for accuracy and contractual compliance
- Budget-to-actual cost reconciliation with variance commentary
- Identification of inflated claims, unapproved variations, and unjustified costs
- Lender monitoring reports — supporting development finance drawdown processes

Pre- & Post-Contract Advisory
Our Client Advisory services span both pre-contract and post-contract phases, ensuring continuity of advice and consistency of financial management throughout the project.
- Pre-contract: Cost benchmarking, procurement advice, tender evaluation, contract review
