APG -Architecture & Planning Group

Founded in Egypt in the late sixties, and with active presence in the UAE since 1973, APG is a leading multi-disciplinary A/E firm that is fully committed to the construction industry, providing a comprehensive suite of services ranging from Master planning, Architecture, Interior design, through to Civil & Structure and MEP Engineering. Strategically located in the MENA region, APG operates through eight offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al-Ain, Doha, Riyadh, Cairo, Alexandria and Khartoum, with overall workforce of more than 400 highly dedicated subject matter experts. APG's main differentiator is in mastering the business process; APG considers itself a strategic partner to its clients, specifically at the very early stages of any given project. Our clients highly value APG's support in building up stringent and valid alternative business cases for their projects & investments, and our ability to visualize their visions and ideas and experiment its feasibility. This strategy is key to client loyalty and trust, and has been recognized by the high rate of repeat business and referrals. Our formula of success is not only limited to that, but also extends to our ability to collaborate with many international firms in delivering numerous high profile projects, reflected in our diverse and rich portfolio. Another differentiator is excellence in design achieved by responsibly shaping the built environment through architecture that not only maps the character of the place, but is also inspiring, stimulating and blends the built realm with natural surroundings. APG's ability to provide one-stop development integrations, ranging from architectural design & planning through to interior design and engineering, along with our extensive local experience, is another key to the firm's success.
