ABOUT

Our foundation: built on trust and excellence

After 20 years in Dubai, and only working with a limited number of clients at any one time, we can dedicate time to each to ensure continuity, quality and observance to our clients needs"

Our founder Andrew J Bannister is an architectural designer from the UK and moved here in January 2006.

He has established himself not only as a talented architect but also advises Governments and Ministers on social housing, MMC and a variety of industry innovative elements.. mostly due to his ability to not only design but to also conceive better ways forward in construction.

His understanding of the industry goes way back to his childhood in England where in the 1960's his father taught him how to use construction tools and to understand ergonomics and the basics for architecture and the full build process.

A spell in the Royal Air Force as a photographer finished in 1982 where he immediately got back into design and the rest is history.

Author with Sterling of New York ( 20 years on Amazon but now out of print ), winner of more than a dozen UK National and International design awards, author of numerous white papers on modern methods of construction, Artist, Writer... but essentially.. a passionate architectural designer.

Now in his 68th Year, Andrew has no intention of retiring, proven by his amazing drive and pursuit of making things better.. and then improving again.

Our process

Andrew Bannister Design is a hands on team that ensure each detail is fully covered and approved before being implemented. This is an essential part of the process.

We design and implement, meaning we offer a design and build service.

Having worked in Dubai for 20 years and counting, our base set of skills and contractors is both extensive and proven.

We keep our team tight and focussed, meaning we can hop in and out of suitable suppliers, contractors and sub contractors and maximise the level of service, whilst keeping value high and exposure to negative elements low.

The world is changing rapidly, with the onset of A.I., which we fully embrace, the days of large cumbersome expensive companies employing hundreds of staff are rapidly evolving into a different scenario where we hand pick teams for specific tasks, instead of making a global team fit, we have a different approach

This can only be done by being here on the ground in Dubai for over two decades, and fully appreciating whats needed to complete a task,,, from Design to Procurement, Installation and construction, to finishing and hand over...

Pre-Construction

CONCEPTUAL PLANNING

Using either hand drawn sketches or the most up to date A.I. imagery assistance.. the concepts can be quickly created to ensure you get what you are looking for.. and in most cases, we will exceed your expectations.

TIMELINE COORDINATION

Due to a restricted client list, we dedicate our time to you so that you are never forgotten.. Timely execution of a project is what makes us tick.

COST ANALYSIS

A full and complete cost analysis is completed for every project and updated weekly to ensure everyone is on the same page and all things financial agreed prior to committing to works.

Construction

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Having a dedicated project management team is an essential part of the total process. In fact it is key to ensuring construction controls on a daily basis. No matter the size of the construction, controls are essential and this is something we put number one emphasis on.

SAFETY PROTOCOLS

We ensure that contractors and sub contractors adhere to all health and safety measures as per the authority codes and then exceed them.

TEAM MANAGEMENT

Being a restricted number of projects at any one time, our dedicated team manages in a timely manner. From concept to completion. Design to engineering. Payments to financial controls. Procurement to reduction in waste.....

Post-Construction

FINAL SIGN-OFF

We will walk around the entire project on a regular basis with you so that come hand over you know exactly how it was achieved and where any concerns are.. you are the client...

WARRANTIES

A project folder will have all of the available warranties for items that have been used in the project in one safe place and with a guide on how you can have your new villa look after going forward. We will also inspect post completion to make sure any tiny areas of concern are addressed immediately

ALWAYS ON HAND

Even when the project is fully completed, you can ask us to come to your villa to address any item that you think needs looking into... If its our fault we will rectify it, if it is subsequent damage by others, we will still address it as appropriate.
