About the practice

A dynamic engineering practice built around accuracy, coordination and buildability.

We specialise in reinforcement detailing, BIM modelling and structural design services. Our team delivers precise and dependable detailing for a wide range of structures — from straightforward elements to highly complex forms — using both advanced BIM platforms and conventional 2D drafting techniques, depending on what the project actually needs.

Beyond detailing, we provide design services including structural analysis and the design of support systems for solar panels. The goal is always the same: add technical value, reduce on-site conflicts, and streamline construction through coordinated, buildable, cost-effective solutions.

Single source of truth

Our vision — to revolutionise the construction industry by delivering precise, intelligent and integrated engineering solutions that drive efficiency, accuracy and sustainable growth.

What we deliver

Three disciplines,
one coordinated output.

Every deliverable is produced against the project's own standards and checked before it leaves the office — so what reaches site is clear, complete and ready to build.

01

Shop Drawings

Highly accurate reinforcement shop drawings tailored to each project — clear, fully dimensioned and detailed for the people placing the steel.

  • Reinforcement detailing for all structural elements
  • Bar bending schedules and quantity take-off
  • Simple structures through to complex geometries
  • 2D drafting where it suits the project best
02

BIM Services

Advanced Building Information Modelling that carries real construction geometry — so conflicts are resolved in the model, not on the slab.

  • 3D Modeling & Shop Drawings
  • Clash Detection & Multi-Disciplinary Coordination
  • BIM Management & Standards Consulting
  • As-Built Modeling
03

Design

Comprehensive design services — structural analysis and the design of support systems for solar panels, grounded in practical engineering judgement.

  • Structural analysis and member design
  • Solar panel support system design
  • Load path and connection checks
  • Cost-effective, buildable solutions
Why AL-Shamaa

Technical value,
added early.

Detailing is where design meets reality. We use that position to remove ambiguity before it becomes a delay, a variation, or a crowded bar zone nobody can place.

Both worlds: advanced BIM and traditional 2D drafting — chosen per project, not per habit.

Some projects want a fully modelled rebar environment. Others need fast, clean 2D output against an established site workflow. We are fluent in both and pick the method that serves the programme.

3DBIM platforms
2DCAD drafting
1Coordinated set

Complex geometry, resolved

Curved walls, transfer structures, sloping slabs and congested nodes — detailed so the steel actually fits.

Fewer conflicts on site

Clashes and buildability issues are caught in the model and the check, before they cost programme time.

Standards-aligned

Deliverables align with your project requirements, client templates and industry standards.

Sustainable by design

Solar support structures and efficient steel arrangements that reduce waste and rework.

One point of contact

A multidisciplinary team that stays with your project from first model to final issue.

How a package runs

From consultant
drawings to site.

A predictable route through every reinforcement package, with the checking built in rather than bolted on at the end.

01

Brief & review

We review the consultant's drawings, specification and standards, agree the delivery method — BIM or 2D — and raise technical queries early.

Inputs locked
02

Model or draft

Reinforcement is modelled in 3D or drafted in 2D against the agreed conventions, element by element, with schedules generated from the same source.

BIM · CAD
03

Coordinate & clash

Rebar is checked against embeds, openings, services and adjacent pours so congestion and clashes are resolved before issue.

Buildability
04

Check & issue

An independent check covers geometry, laps, covers, bar marks and schedules. Nothing leaves the office unchecked.

QA gate
05

Site support

We stay available through construction for RFIs, revisions and as-built updates — keeping the drawing set true to what is actually being built.

Through delivery
Selected work

A villa that leans.
Rebar that follows.

One reinforcement package taken end to end — modelled in 3D against the architecture, resolved where the columns meet the slabs, and issued as drawings and schedules the steel fixers could work straight from.

Case study

Ohana Villas — Phase I2

Damour · Chouf, Lebanon

A private villa development where the structure is the architecture: raked reinforced-concrete columns carry the upper floor and the cantilevered roof, so almost nothing about the reinforcement repeats. We modelled the ground-floor-to-first-floor columns in full 3D, worked out the bar arrangement where each inclined shaft lands, and issued a coordinated set of elevations, plans and bar bending schedules.

Scope
Reinforcement shop drawings & BBS
Elements
Inclined columns, flat slabs, footings

01

The challenge

Every column on this elevation is raked, and each one meets its slab at a different angle and a different level. Standard column details applied nowhere.

02

The approach

The whole ground-to-first-floor zone was built as a 3D rebar model first, so laps, covers and the congested column-to-slab junctions were settled where they could actually be seen.

03

The outcome

Elevations, plans, 3D views and the bar bending schedule all came off that one model.

Where we work

Any scale.
Any complexity.

Reinforcement detailing and design support across the structures that make up construction and design programmes.

Residential & mixed use

Cores, slabs, shear walls and podium transfers.

Commercial

Frames, basements and long-span floor systems.

Infrastructure

Retaining walls, culverts, abutments and decks.

Industrial

Foundations, pits, machine bases and plant structures.

Solar & renewables

Panel support systems, ballast and pile foundations.

Complex geometry

Curved, sloping and irregular forms modelled in 3D.
