What EcoBuild does

EcoBuild is an engineering and sustainability consulting firm headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, founded in 2013. The firm delivers project-based advisory services across the building lifecycle to developers, contractors, governments, and asset owners in the UAE and United Kingdom. Service lines span green-building certification consulting (LEED, WELL, BREEAM, ESTIDAMA, MOSTADAM), embodied carbon and whole life carbon assessment, environmental and social impact assessment, commissioning, energy management and retrofitting, wellbeing design, urban and building physics, smart cities advisory, and net-zero/decarbonization strategy. Operating from four offices (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, London, Manchester), the firm reports a track record of more than 500 projects across 175 clients covering approximately 3.5 million square meters, with cumulative impact metrics of 68 million KWh of energy savings and 40 million KgCO2e of carbon savings.

Core technical capabilities center on building-performance simulation and certification delivery rather than software product development. The firm runs thermal dynamic modeling, microclimate modeling, daylight simulations, computational fluid dynamics, and whole life carbon analysis to support design optimization and certification outcomes. These capabilities are paired with commissioning management and independent verification to ensure that predicted performance is realized in operations.

EcoBuild operates a B2B professional services model with quote-based, project-specific pricing and no publicly disclosed rates. Revenue is generated through direct enterprise sales via RFQs, RFPs, and direct consultation, supported by a content marketing presence (website, blog/insights platform) and organic social channels (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook). Customer concentration is spread across residential, commercial, educational, healthcare, industrial, religious, hospitality, and public-sector segments, with named clients across construction contracting (e.g., S.S. Lootah, We Build, Ghantoot), real estate (Aldahra, Reportage), education (Belvedere British School), manufacturing (Gulf Precast), and government (Supreme Council for Planning, SZHP).
