What Design Home does

Design Home, legally DESIGNHOME for Engineering and Design, is a private civil engineering firm headquartered in Alexandria, Egypt, with a delivery footprint spanning Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The firm offers a comprehensive suite of engineering services — Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based design, Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing (MEP) engineering, project management and construction supervision, consultancy, tendering and BOQ preparation, technical office/shop drawing services, and project close-out — with MEP cited as the core specialty. Its client base is concentrated in institutional verticals: healthcare (e.g., King Faisal Specialist Hospital, AL Murjan 200 Bed General Hospital, MM01 Teaching Hospital), higher education (Saudi MoHE medical colleges, King Khaled University, King Abdullah Economic City academy), industrial/petrochemical (Saudi Aramco–Sumitomo Chemical JV, Rabigh 2), and large mixed-use developments.

The firm operates as a remote technical office, delivering services from Alexandria to distant clients via conference calls, email, and international coordination, supported by a tool stack centered on BIM (Archicad, Revit) and specialized MEP/structural calculation software (ETAP, Dialux, Ecodial, ETABS, SAP, SAFE, HAP, Duct Sizer, Doc-win). Its business model is project-based professional services: bespoke engineering contracts priced per engagement, with no disclosed pricing, no standardized product, and no recurring subscription or licensing component. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales — phone, email, contact form — to a narrow set of large institutional and government buyers, with no visible marketing or channel infrastructure beyond the company website. Revenue is not disclosed, no funding rounds or institutional investors appear in the record, and headcount sits in the 11–50 range, consistent with a small, specialized consultancy rather than a scaled engineering firm.
