About Integra
Integra was formed in 2018 as an end-to-end development management firm focused on the Middle East and broader regional market. Our people have extensive experience in the Gulf – many of our senior staff have spent two or more decades working in the region, hence, combine unique international experience with a deep understanding of how projects are planned and delivered here. What makes Integra different from many of our peers is that:
· we are not a property economics advisory and valuation firm;
· we are not an architectural and engineering practice designing cities, facilities or individual buildings; · nor are we a project and commercial management firm; rather, we are all these, and more. Integra combines the collective capabilities of: · Valustrat – one the Middle East’s leading consulting groups providing advisory, valuations, research, due diligence and industrial consulting services
· PMKConsult – one of the UAE’s largest dedicated project and commercial management practices working across all property sectors · PDS – a dedicated development management consultancy combining the talents and capabilities of some of the UAE’s most experienced development managers and directors who have an acute understanding of what defines and drives development success.
