British consulting and engineering firm, Crofton Design has made its first foray into the Middle East by winning contracts totalling $218,701 in Saudi Arabia.
The London-head-quartered firm is to provide mechanical, electrical and structural design for a residential apartment block in Jeddah and a luxury beach house on the Red Sea.
“These are our first projects in the Middle East and we won them because our client found us online when searching for a British engineer. They got in touch and asked us for a proposal,” said Mark Taylor, structural director at Crofton.
Both projects are due to be completed by the summer of next year, Taylor noted.
