About EMDC Group

Who We Are

We were established in 2008, specializing in Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, ICT, and Renewable Energy Technologies, and covering a broad spectrum of services, including Design, Shop Drawings, Value Engineering, and the implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the construction field.

We are guided by optimism; we believe in the power of design to drive positive change and create a better future for everyone through our strong and diverse expertise. The application of new technologies, software, and artificial intelligence enables us to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and deliver superior outcomes. By integrating these advancements into our projects, we can better meet our clients' evolving needs and remain at the forefront of industry standards.

We are a diverse team of experts, in the latest trends in Renewable Energy, Green Building designs, HVAC Systems, Water System efficiencies, Power Generation and Distribution, as well as new technologies in IT and Low Current systems. Our goal is to deliver comprehensive MEP Integrated Solutions, tailored to provide a full range of engineering services through collaborative cross-disciplinary efforts.

We invest in innovation to meet the market’s expectations by pushing the boundaries of design through innovative use of AEC modeling technologies, offering integrated construction models and virtual reality rendering. We are developing new tools to release fast, creative solutions for the construction industry. We also promote education within our teams, especially in technology and sustainability, through certificates and diplomas from accredited universities and international organizations.

We expand our market by benefiting from the communications technology to connect with new clients, extending from the Gulf Countries to North America, mainly Canada. This expansion has allowed us to gain a competitive edge in underserved markets, strengthen our expertise through diverse opinions and methodologies, and enable our clients to diversify their services, access additional talent, and reduce costs.

We come towards our clients; in 2020, we established CONSULT EMDC in Dubai, UAE, as a hub for our growing client base. CONSULT EMDC focuses on identifying and developing new business opportunities while maintaining strong relationships with both existing and new clients. We aim to support sustainable, long-term growth in the MEP construction sector. CONSULT EMDC oversees the business development, contracts, sales, and purchasing activities for both EMDC Group and CONSULT EMDC.

We expand our horizons. In 2021, we opened a branch office in Cairo, focusing on similar MEP activities. Our Cairo team is further strengthened by architects working together to achieve excellence in our projects.

Our BIM Know-How

The use of BIM is now mandated to ascertain that the planning, design, and construction of projects is a collaborative process with a high-efficiency output. For this purpose, EMDC invested in the BIM world allowing the 3D simulation of the projects before their execution, facilitating visualization and coordination, analyzing and resolving potential clashes, reducing the risk of abortive works on site and finally making more informed decisions.

Further to the 3D modeling employed for construction and fabrication, EMDC can offer its clients the essential functionalities of BIM models through BIM 4D to 6D, starting with scheduling tasks, estimating costs and extracting quantities and performing energy analysis.

Throughout the projects, EMDC got acquainted with BIM components which play a crucial role in the successful implementation and management of BIM projects, like Common Data Environment (CDE), BIM Execution Plan (BEP), COBie (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange), IFC (Industry Foundation Classes), Asset Information Model (AIM), FM (Facility Management) Integration, GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Integration, 4D and 5D BIM, Virtual Reality (VR) & Augmented Reality (AR) as well as Smart Building Technologies.

We, at EMDC, enriched our BIM expertise by closely developing BIM models to renown companies, listed in a later section, integrating the MEP Revit materials families from their selected suppliers, their method of statement and showing their installation and fabrication methods in their details and finally submitting a coordinated model as per the presentation technique expected in each company.

Finally, as a contribution to the worldwide BIM community, we participated in Autodesk University classes to share our insights about the Automation tools developed in-house, automating time-consuming design tasks using Forge and Machine Learning. Both classes are found at the following links:

Our BIM Know-How

Our Success Indicators

  • Design expertise We gain our ample expertise through close coordination with International Designers and while executing Value Engineering and Shop Drawings projects.
  • Shop Drawings We delivered 10,000 shop drawings within 9 months including client’s comment implementation as well as a LOD 400 Revit model and Navisworks model with zero clash for a 250,000 sq.m. mega carpark within 4 months. Moreover, we developed fabrication drawings for projects in Canada, USA and Australia.
  • Value Engineering & Design Review We performed Value Engineering and Design Review tasks on designs made by renown international companies.
  • BIM Proficiency We delivered coordinated Revit models using advanced BIM logistics like Navisworks clash tests, MagiCAD and plugins and add-ons. We continuously keep our teams updated with the latest changes of Autodesk AEC collection.
  • Development of Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality We provided our clients with a collection of navigation tools by converting selected areas with particular importance into virtual and interactive environments. 
    We are currently implementing AI tools to enhance efficiency and accelerate the delivery of our services.
  • Data Security We securely back-up our projects on redundant servers with redundant internet connections as well as via subscription on a Remote Server (Cloud), through latest HP servers Technology.
  • In House R&D We internally developed automation processes and even featured them in Autodesk University. Also, we developed in-house BIM tools related to each project’s needs.
