What AEC GROUP - Advanced Engineering Consultants Group does

AEC GROUP (Advanced Engineering Consultants Group L.L.C) is a Middle East-based engineering consultancy specializing in Building Information Modeling (BIM) for complex, high-profile construction projects. The firm operates as a B22B professional services provider serving architects, contractors, engineering firms, and developers of landmark real estate and infrastructure — with named engagements including the 302-meter Al-Wasel Tower in Dubai (designed by UN Studio) and the Red Sea International Airport (designed by Foster + Partners), as well as Saudi heritage projects for the Ministry of Culture covering 40+ buildings annually and 100+ Scan to BIM deliverables cumulatively.

Its core offering is organized around three pillars: (1) BIM Services and Implementation, covering 3D modeling, coordination, clash detection, 4D/5D (schedule and cost) BIM, and training; (2) Façade Engineering and Roof Cladding/Paneling, where the firm uses Python, Dynamo, Revit, Rhino, and Grasshopper to solve geometrically intractable problems such as twisted-facade paneling and complex roof wireframe repair — including a proprietary codebase of 12,000+ lines for IFC transformation; and (3) Scan to BIM, converting laser-scanned point clouds into information-rich BIM/HBIM models for existing and historical buildings. Underlying the technology stack is a custom algorithmic layer (Dynamo scripts, Revit families, Python routines) that enables LOD-level detailing and panel optimization tasks the firm describes as "impossible to perform manually."

AEC monetizes exclusively through project-based professional services engagements, acquired via direct B2B contact — website inquiries, dedicated [email protected] inbox, and office phones in Dubai and Amman. The firm is privately held (no disclosed funding, no public ticker, no ownership details), with operating entities in Dubai (UAE, headquarters at The Meydan Hotel), Amman (Jordan, regional HQ), and Mersin (Turkey), and serves projects across the UAE, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Revenue, headcount trend, management team, and founding date are not disclosed in available materials.
