Consistent Execution Defines Our Approach

2025 reinforced what we've always known at Compass: consistent execution and trusted intelligence build partnerships that outlast headlines.  As a leading project management consultancy serving the Middle East, we closed the year supporting $9.8 billion in regional construction value across seven offices spanning UAE, KSA, and Sri Lanka.

Regional Expansion: Al Khobar and Ras Al Khaimah

Our expansion into Al Khobar and Ras Al Khaimah wasn't about growth for growth's sake - it was about being where our clients need us, when they need us.  These strategic locations strengthen our construction management services across the Gulf, complementing our established presence in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, and Colombo.

Whether you're searching for project development companies in KSA or the UAE, our regional footprint ensures local expertise backed by Group-wide standards.

Great Place to Work Recognition

Dual Great Place to Work certifications in UAE and Sri Lanka reinforced what drives us: talent stays when the work matters.  In an industry where project management expertise makes or breaks outcomes, we've built a culture that attracts professionals who want to be here.

Compass Academy continues that commitment, developing future Saudi leaders with practical experience and industry knowledge - critical for clients seeking project management services in Saudi Arabia who value local talent development.

Mid-Tier Focus Delivers Market Intelligence

Megaprojects grabbed headlines in 2025, but we stayed focused on mid-tier developments, the kind that demand disciplined performance and commercial understanding over time.  Our cost management benchmarks became a reference point peers and investors rely on, particularly when supply chains and schedules need clarity.

This approach to construction project management and cost control serves clients across hospitality, retail, commercial, and residential sectors.  From office fit out companies in Dubai to mixed-use developments across KSA, our intelligence informs better decisions.

Industry Recognition and Team Excellence

Beyond the business wins, our team earned PMC of the Year for the fifth consecutive time at the Middle East Consultant Awards.  This recognition reflects our standing among top project management companies in the region.

Our professionals shared insights on panels and stages across the Middle East throughout the year, contributing to industry dialogue on construction management and fit-out consulting services, cost planning, and project delivery strategy.

Building Culture Beyond Projects

The work matters, but so do the people doing it.  Client appreciation events reminded us why relationships matter more than contracts.  Training workshops kept our teams sharp on risk management in project management and emerging industry practices.

Team building activities, health and wellness initiatives, and CSR efforts like beach cleanups demonstrated our commitment to the communities we operate in.  Yes, there was plenty of cake celebrating personal milestones too - because good culture is built in the small moments, not just the major wins.

2026 Pipeline: Hospitality and Mixed-Use Developments

That discipline, combined with a team that genuinely wants to be here, positions us for what's ahead.  Hospitality project management opportunities and mixed-use developments are shaping our 2026 pipeline.

We're ready to deliver the same value that's defined our approach: strategic project planning backed by market intelligence.  Whether clients need program management services, construction supervision, or project cost control, Compass brings the regional expertise they're searching for.
