CEB
Bringing Contemporary Arab Art and Latest Architecture Technology Together
Mohammed Ali El-Khateeb, CEOThe trend of contemporary architectural projects that flourished during the 1980s by the architects in the Middle East drove the transition from traditional to modern architecture to express their conservative views and the importance of local cultural identities in architecture. Building on this idea, Prof. Dr. Engineer Ali Abdelzaher El-Khateeb, the Chairman of CEB, founded the company for Design and Engineering Consultations in 1992. Using contemporary Arab art and the latest in architectural technology, Ali Abdelzaher El-Khateeb fulfilled his dream of contributing to the development of urban communities in Egypt.
Today, CEB is an industry-leading consultation bureau in Egypt, Africa, and the Middle East that offers comprehensive, integrated engineering services, including urban and architectural planning and design and future-oriented solutions. CEB is highly regarded for its industry-best services in respect of architectural engineering. Its expertise is demonstrated in planning, designing, and implementation supervision the building architecture.
“For 30 years, CEB has developed hundreds of different architectural projects and supervised the construction of private and governmental entities of various fields and sizes across the country,” says Mohammed Ali El-Khateeb, CEO of CEB. The office is currently qualified to be a ‘house of experience’ that includes about 300 engineers and supervisors spread in various governorates of the Republic to supervise social housing projects, housing Egypt projects, environmental projects, and developing slums projects.
Utilizing BI technology has enabled CEB to solve their client’s challenges of meeting their different needs, minimizing costs, and managing projects between those locations. For instance, Hayah Karima has been submitted as a mega Egyptian national project in the last ten years. It had encountered various applications and conceptual scopes, where BI was the technology for managing and analyzing the processes of those massive delivered data to achieve the best performance and overcome challenges.
CEB is adept at keeping up with the market regarding competitive strengths, technological development, customer service, and employee skills. In light of the massive volume of work it supervises, there is continuous training for the cadres working in the engineer’s office. Engineers are informed of the latest engineering technologies and provided with training courses to keep up with the development that the construction sector is experiencing, all while increasing efficiency.
El-Khateeb further notes that urban planning separates newly built cities from old ones. That said, CEB offers Urban Planning services that focus on fulfilling its objectives while concurrently complying with the government’s related regulations. These services encompass designing the initial concepts and preliminary plans required to develop new cities and refurbish existing ones. CEB’s management can create a strategic plan that meets the requirements of each project, despite the differences that may differ from task to task.
