Other Special Services

The objective of IDCG Engineering Services is to improve the quality of workmanship and the quality of materials in the construction industry.

The strength and quality of a building structure depends on the quality of the materials and the workmanship used to carry out the work.

The objectives of IDCG Engineering Services are to ensure that projects are designed according to international standards and the art of construction and to ensure that the materials, resources and all other facilities necessary for the execution projects have the necessary characteristics required by the construction standard and specifications. We make sure that the structures are 100% adapted to local conditions.

During the planning, pre-concepts and design process of a project, we make sure that the quality comes first, followed by the cost which is optimized and then the time must be kept to a minimum.

We provide a Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) for the projects.

During the construction stage, we carry out a constant system of quality control for the materials used, execution and cost optimization keeping in mind that the time allocated to each activity is kept to a minimum.

We do not neglect the economic conditions that prevail in the current period, short term or long term. We all work; we involve the Client at every stage of the project. A maintenance plan is established and the required training is carried out to ensure that the objectives of the project are fully achieved. We also provide post-project consultation services whenever needed.

In order for an existing building structure to be maintained, we carry out appraisals, assessments and site surveys. We carry out the quality assessment of the materials used during the construction process to find out whether or not the construction has been carried out to standard specifications and the art of construction and make our recommendations accordingly.

IDCG Engineering Services has the human resources and modern equipment to carry out training programs inside or outside the company’s premises.

  • Project funding
  • Act as a representative of the lender and / or employer in the context of development projects
  • Management of the pre-construction development process
  • Business planning and hosting strategies

Effective monitoring of construction costs is only part of the cost management equation. Costs need to be controlled and managed at every stage of the development process: from planning, design and construction process, to continued operation of the project.

IDCG has steadfastly delivered projects o budget, consistently saving our clients funds well in excess of our costs, while ensuring timely and successful project completion. Our skills include:

  • A systematic and proactive approach to budget management
  • Regular review meetings to monitor cost implications
  • Value engineering

In developing and emerging countries, more than two billion additional inhabitants are expected in cities by 2050, with the aim of improving living conditions for all. In developed countries, the aging of the population is another major phenomenon of the 21st century which also impacts city life.  

The scarcity of natural resources, transport congestion and global warming are all phenomena that raise many challenges on an urban scale. The need to design, manage and renew sustainable and resilient cities that minimize carbon footprints and adapt to climate events is emerging at all latitudes.

Digital technologies and connected objects are giving rise to new services and new uses in cities. All stakeholders are concerned : residents, visitors, businesses, public services and private operators.

Our Approach

The city of tomorrow cannot be designed ex nihilo. Its engineering is based on the shared identification of its strengths and weaknesses, on an adapted and adaptable, integrated and reasonable design, and on an achievement that meets the ambitions and resources of our customers.

For each of your projects, we are committed to supporting you in an approach that is both tailor-made and multidisciplinary.

A design and construction techniques adapted to local specificities, whether environmental, financial, economic, social, cultural or regulatory.

We mobilize a team with a fair balance between local know-how and expertise and

International thanks to a judicious selection of our partners.

Thanks to generalist profiles, capable of integrating all dimensions of urban systems, and specialist profiles, which cover all disciplines contributing to the four pillars of sustainable development: economic, social, environmental and governance.

Our difference comes from our ability to use our skills in engineering, project set-up and operation to define urban projects including transport infrastructure and urban services.

Our key principles

Anchored in adapting to local issues and mobilizing good expertise, we design urban projects based on 5 key principles.

Optimizing the attractiveness of a project from three angles:

  • economic, to attract investors and businesses
  • social, to bring in new inhabitants, visitors, tourists, etc.
  • environmental, to develop biodiversity, ensure sustainability and limit negative impacts

Innovate in all components and all phases of the project:

  • project set-up: search for the best arrangements in terms of governance, risk and contractual strategy
  • design, construction and operation: use of design methods and innovative technical solutions (3D design, BIM, mobility models, energy models, participatory studies of the living environment, etc.), new mobility and sustainable energy services

In particular, new information and communication technologies are giving rise to new services and new uses in cities. All the actors are concerned: inhabitants, visitors, companies, public services and private operators… The developers of such solutions speak of smart city orsmart city.
