Question 1

Does Método carry out every trade itself?

Accepted Answer

No, and we do not claim to. We deliver design development, specialist manufacturing, joinery, furniture, stone, architectural composites, fit-out and installation through our own teams and workshops. Other scopes, MEP among them, are delivered by specialist subcontractors under our management. What the client gets is one programme, one commercial structure and one accountable team for all of it.

Question 2

How does Método manage specialist subcontractors?

Accepted Answer

Each specialist is procured against a defined scope with the interfaces written into it, so no gap sits between packages. We hold the coordinated model and the drawing register, run the technical and procurement reviews, control the sequence on site, and witness testing and commissioning before handover. The client deals with Método, not with a set of separate trades.

Question 3

How are budgets, variations and programme risk controlled?

Accepted Answer

Scope is priced against a defined package, not an assumption. Design is frozen before manufacturing begins, which is where most cost movement is avoided. Variations are raised, priced and agreed in writing before work proceeds, never after. Programme risk is managed by long lead procurement, off site manufacture and trial fitting, so the site sequence absorbs fewer surprises. Progress, cost and risk are reported on one register.

Question 4

Which project types and clients is Método best suited to?

Accepted Answer

Complex interior environments where programme certainty, specialist coordination and a single line of responsibility matter: high-end residential, hotels and hospitality, commercial interiors, cultural and visitor environments, and complex specialist projects. Our clients are typically developers, owners, operators, main contractors and design practices. Simple, single-trade work is better served elsewhere.

Question 5

What is the difference between a specialist package and an integrated package?

Accepted Answer

A specialist package is a single, self-contained scope, for example, FF&E, joinery, GRP/GRC/GRG elements, or a specialist finish, delivered by Método inside someone else's programme. An integrated package combines several connected workstreams so the interfaces between them are managed by Método, not by the client. Typical combinations are interiors + FF&E, MEP + interiors, fit-out + joinery + FF&E, or external architectural packages + internal finishes.

Question 6

When should Método be engaged as a specialist main contractor?

Accepted Answer

When the project involves multiple disciplines, trades, packages and subcontractors whose interfaces create risk. Método acts as the specialist main contractor where a single programme, single commercial structure and one accountable team can protect the client from fragmented decision-making. This is most valuable on complex hospitality, residential, healthcare, transport, leisure or mixed-use projects where design, MEP, specialist manufacturing, fit-out and installation must finish together.

Question 7

Can Método join a project after design is already underway?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can enter at any stage. The earlier we join, the more complexity we can remove, but we are also used to being brought in after design intent has been established to freeze, engineer, manufacture, coordinate and deliver. In every case, we apply the same Método method: define, freeze, make, deliver, close.

Question 8

Does Método carry out MEP work directly?

Accepted Answer

Método coordinates MEP as part of an integrated package or main-contract delivery. We manage the MEP subcontractors and their interfaces with architecture, interiors, FF&E and specialist finishes, ensuring coordination, commissioning and handover are handled as one programme rather than several.

Question 9

What does Método manufacture in-house?

Accepted Answer

Our workshops and specialist production network cover fine joinery, furniture and casegoods, upholstery and soft furnishings, stone and surfaces, architectural metal and glass, and decorative composites including GRC, GRP and GRG. We also prototype, mock-up and benchmark before anything reaches site.

Question 10

Can Método work outside the UAE and the Middle East?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our delivery model is built to deliver internationally and is not limited to the markets where we already hold references. Completed and current work spans the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Vietnam, India, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Japan and the UK, and retail rollout programmes have been delivered across more than 26 countries. In a new market we establish the delivery structure around the project as part of the method: local partners, approvals, logistics and site teams.

Question 11

How is Método contracted commercially?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the engagement level, Método can be contracted on a fixed-price specialist package, a schedule of rates for an integrated package, or as a main-contractor with a full turnkey programme and commercial structure. In each case, the contract mirrors the single line of responsibility we carry on site.

Question 12

What sectors does Método specialise in?

Accepted Answer

Hospitality, healthcare, residential, retail, commercial, leisure and entertainment, and complex public environments such as transport, cultural buildings and specialist facilities. We are sector-agnostic in method but deep in experience.

Question 13

Who does Método coordinate on site?

Accepted Answer

Método can coordinate designers, engineers, MEP subcontractors, façade and architectural specialists, fit-out contractors, FF&E suppliers, manufacturers and installation teams. The client has one point of contact; Método manages the interfaces.

Question 14

What makes Método different from a conventional contractor?

Accepted Answer

We are a specialist main contractor built around a method. We bring engineering, design management, MEP coordination, manufacturing and delivery into one system, rather than treating them as separate trades. The result is fewer handovers, fewer decisions lost in translation, and one accountable partner from first decision to final handover.
