Iraq

Baker Wilkins first became involved in projects in Iraq in the 1980s and have undertaken cost management services on a considerable number of very large and prestigious projects since that time.

These have included the Salahaldeen University in Erbil, the Guest Palace complex in Basra and numerous mixed use projects in Baghdad.

Baker Wilkins have had a permanent presence in the Middle East for over 30 years and have worked in almost every country in the region since that time.

The same office previously used by Baker Wilkins in Baghdad will be brought back into use immediately travel is possible.

Through established relationships in the Iraqi community, our Middle Eastern connections from many countries and other internationally funded clients, we are now developing a clear strategy for our involvement in several fields of activity in the rebuilding and development of Iraq.

Tim Siddons is the partner of Baker Wilkins who is primarily involved in re-establishing our Iraqi operation. Please contact him should you wish to discuss any matter or if you require more information.

Oman

In January 2005, long established local quantity surveyors Majan have established a joint venture with Baker Wilkins for all existing and future projects in Oman. Majan's unrivalled experience and residential staffing in Oman combined with Baker Wilkins' Middle East major project experience have together formed an exceptionally capable team for the many major projects planned in the Sultanate.

The Next 50 Years

We are now in our 51st year. David Baker and Donald Wilkins established the firm in the UK in 1955. For 33 years we have been active throughout the Middle East and elsewhere in the world.

With the establishement of Majan Baker Wilkins in Oman and a significant workload now spreading from not only our Bahrain base but from Egypt, Qatar, Lebanon and also extensively in Iraq, we are now able to service all our client's needs throughout the region. We are delighted to be so well placed for involvement in this part of the world at a time of increasing workload on a wide range of exciting projects.

Pearl Development & Real Estate

We are proud to have been chosen by the Client as their cost advisors and as members of the team on this prestigious scheme, part of the continuing success story of Bahrain's development. A landmark residential development in a magnificent city centre and sea view location in Manama, Bahrain, consisting of twin 50 storey and one 40 storey towers. Containing a total of 860 luxury apartments and sky villas with superb dedicated facilities and luxury finishes, the development represents the true confidence in the Middle East market and provides much sought after opportunity for private ownership of apartment property in Bahrain.

The Client is Pearl Development & Real Estate and their representative is Dadabhai Construction. The construction work will be undertaken by Al Hamad Construction & Development.
