PEER International Consultants has once again demonstrated its exceptional prowess in the field of structural engineering with the successful application of its unique Value Engineering (VE) expertise for the third phase of the Jabal Omar Development Project (JODP III).
Employing its renowned VE formula based on a no-win no-fee agreement, PEER’s team delved deep into the intricacies of the design, resulting in significant certified and approved cost savings of nearly SR 20 million.
Nestled in the holy city of Makkah, KSA, JODP III is a towering architectural masterpiece comprising four buildings with a total area of 422,535m2 and rising 30 to 55 stories high. Among its numerous features, the third phase incorporates 2,160 hotel rooms and a breathtaking 55-story twin tower complex, connected by an expansive 40-meter-long bridge that spans the distance between them.

Setting a world record, the suspended mosque at the highest point of the bridge has been lifted to its final location, towering above ground level at an awe-inspiring height of over 161 meters. This remarkable achievement adds yet another feather to PEER’s cap of groundbreaking structural accomplishments.
While the construction industry focuses primarily on time, quality, and outlay, the VE approach adds a new dimension to the process by enhancing value and optimizing performance, rather than just reducing costs. PEER’s unwavering commitment to providing the best possible outcomes for its clients through its unique VE formula is what sets it apart from the competition. By consistently exploring uncharted territory and uncovering new ways to improve structural design, the company remains at the forefront of the industry.

Moreover, the no-win-no-fee agreement is a vital aspect of PEER’s VE formula, as it fosters collaboration between contractors to identify the most efficient and effective ways of executing construction projects, leading to mutually beneficial outcomes for all parties involved.
The resounding success of the JODP III project is a shining example of the remarkable results that can be achieved through collaborative design and a progressive approach. PEER’s exceptional VE formula has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry, especially for large-scale projects like JODP III with complex designs and strict timelines. This approach not only maximizes VE opportunities but also enables tight cost control, explaining why the success rate for VE on large-scale construction projects is exceptionally high.
