Khales

What Khales does

Khales is a UAE-headquartered project management and engineering consultancy firm, founded in 2013 and led by Chairman and CEO Majid Al Kindi (ماجد الكندي). Operating from its Dubai headquarters with additional offices in Sharjah, Fujairah, and a forthcoming Abu Dhabi location, the firm delivers integrated services across two core lines — Project Management (360 Project Management, dedicated project manager, development planning, feasibility study) and Engineering Consultancy (engineering design, supervision, interior design, landscaping, and personal shopping). Its project portfolio is segmented into Residential, Commercial, and Luxury Villas, with named clients concentrated among Emirati high-net-worth families commissioning bespoke villas and a smaller commercial pipeline covering hospitals, hotels, educational institutions, and shopping centers. Internationally, Khales has expanded delivery into Saudi Arabia (Riyadh), Oman (Muscat), and Qatar (Lusail), with a London office announced as forthcoming.

Technically, Khales employs standard architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) tooling — Building Information Modeling (BIM), 3D modeling, and customized structural steel design for luxury villas — alongside publicly described use of AI-enabled construction site technologies including computer vision safety networks, IoT-based asset health monitoring, and digital twins for scheduling. It also operates a public Villa Cost Calculator digital tool. The firm derives revenue through project-based professional services engagements priced custom per scope, billed typically under multi-year contracts, with go-to-market executed via direct enterprise field sales, consultation booking, portfolio-driven referrals within the UAE HNW community, and content marketing through its blog and social channels (notably Instagram with ~60k followers). The company is privately held, self-funded with no disclosed external investment, and operates without public certifications, patents, or formal partnerships disclosed in the source material.
