Bin Omran Construction - So Slow

in Dubai? Lol!

mandi..

If Qatar does, It should have hired companies of the OP..

Problem is they dint,if they did the OP should have not left..

TB..

Government Projects are most likely awarded to the lowest bidder.. Less budget compromises quality of work.. Good companies won't compromise their budget as well..

Consider that as the one reason..

I do find it surprising how long some of the more simple projects take here. I am not allocating blame, but it is hard not to draw comparisons, especially when you know money is not a problem.

But tig, Doha claims it is buying the best. It's certainly spending enough money to believe that it should receive quality. Where's the disconnect here? Qatar pays for "world-class" and keeps getting crap. Why should it settle for average?

seth..

was it becoz of trafic your complaining???

or is it a part of your job to check qualities of work here?

i mean not all men are like you pal.. and not all cities will be like Dubai..

if you count your self as one of the elit in constructions then good for you..

majority are average individuals..

Lived in Dubai for 4 years, only moved here because I was offered a massive salary increase (with bonuses, more than double of what i was making there) for barely any real work.

Always go back and forth each month to keep from going crazy, moving back permanently this summer anyway. Always notice the jealous reaction when Dubai is mentioned here btw, makes me chuckle.

Piece of advice though, not being able to take criticism is the main reason holding back progress. Telling someone stop complaining/go back makes little sense if there is a genuine issue at hand. It just makes you look defensive and scared of the truth.

Come to think of it, this is one of the reasons why construction work (and most work in general) here is so low quality and slow. Because companies, much like people here, tend to get really defensive when someone points out their mistakes. Its like they are afraid to even think of improving themselves.

As for BO, I just came by that road again today and the quality of the part already finished is, quiet literally, garbage. I cant believe they'll get paid for such ultra low quality work. It would be funny, if it wasnt so utterly sad/depressing to look at.

This is why the slow pace of work is even more surprising, theyre not making the Burj Khalifa out there (or will they ever in a thousand years lol), its a simple, poorly planned, designed and laid out road.

Out in dubai, this company would be laughed at and thrown out not just because they are so slow, but because they really dont know what theyre doing.

i think Bin Omran is running out of man power..

with to many projects that was awarded to them they need massive hiring of man power..

Canadian? Really? Thought you would have been British with all that complaining. Your options: move to Dubai, move to Canada, shut the hell up, stop your whining, take a different route, move to England, harden up, think of those working for $2 a day for 20 hours hard labour, think what your mum would say.

if it was dubai, it probably would have been done overnight. i've gone out some mornings wondering "hey there's something different about this road", or "where the f did that roundabout disappear?!"

LP :D what a motto! hope it doesn't stick !

lol LP you said it..

Isn't it the 'beauty' of Qatar that everything is done so unprofessionally?

Well, you could go to Dubai then. What do you think?

"If this was Dubai the work wouldve been done in half the time with a million times better "... This I agree 100%.
