BRG Strengthens Middle East Construction Practice with Appointment of Randa Wazani

BRG has appointed Randa Wazani as an associate director in its Construction & Real Estate practice, based in Dubai, further strengthening the firm’s Middle East capabilities in delay analysis, project advisory services, planning and project controls.

Ms. Wazani brings nearly twenty years of experience in construction and consultancy across the Middle East, North Africa and Asia. Her background combines on-site planning and project controls with disputes, independent advisory work and construction claims.

Ms. Wazani has assisted appointed experts on delay and programming matters in arbitration and adjudication proceedings, advising on extension-of-time claims and live projects. She has provided independent assessments of the causes of project delay, including reviews of delivery capability, governance, scope and procurement issues.

Ms. Wazani previously spent five years at a construction expert firm, most recently as senior manager. Before that she spent fourteen years in planning at a major Emirati main contractor and a multinational consultancy in Jordan, where her roles comprised tender planning, project execution and closeout. She holds a bachelor’s degree in building engineering from Concordia University in Canada.

Ms. Wazani has worked across residential, hospitality and mixed-use developments, including high-rise towers, hospitals, museums, airports, retail and leisure developments, infrastructure and oil and gas projects. Her experience includes design-build and engineering, procurement and construction arrangements.

Commenting on her appointment, Ms. Wazani said: “I’m pleased to join BRG at this significant moment in the firm’s growth. I have previously worked with several members of the BRG team and look forward to collaborating with new colleagues across the Middle East and globally”.

Wazani’s appointment continues BRG’s ongoing investment in its Construction & Real Estate practice across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The firm’s group of experts in the Middle East and London has expertise spanning quantum, delay and technical matters and works closely across the practice and with BRG colleagues throughout the region, Asia-Pacific and the Americas.
