The discipline behind Dubai's skyline.
What Happens When Project Controls Are Left to Chance
Average Cost Overrun
On Dubai commercial builds where scheduling and baseline controls are absent. Untracked variations compound and directly erode profit margins.
EOT Claims Rejected
Not because delays weren't excusable, but because contemporaneous logs, logic links, and analytical delay records were deficient or missing.
Lost to Design Clashes
Lost to engineering conflicts when structural, architectural, and MEP drawings are not pre-coordinated before site works proceed.
These are not outliers. They are the standard result when project management is treated as overhead rather than infrastructure.
PKAS Project Management Services was engineered from the ground up to prevent every one of these project risks, securing schedules and protecting client capital.
Our Foundation
Built for the
problem.
Not the brochure.
PKAS Project Management Services exists for one reason: to bring institutional Tier-1 GCC planning discipline into a boutique consultancy that boutique clients can actually engage.
The practice is operated by Arunachalam Rajappa — a Planning Manager with 27 years 10 months of programme experience across Dubai, Muscat, and Chennai. His career runs through Tier-1 contractors including Carillion Alawi, Shapoorji Pallonji, Sobha Engineering, and Al Tasnim Enterprises — on Royal Opera House Muscat, Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Hyatt Grand Hotels, three MoH hospitals, and Emaar infrastructure corridors.
From International City, Dubai, PKAS operates as a Dubai FZE LLC channelling that institutional depth into boutique engagements — precision Primavera P6 planning, forensic delay analysis with TIA / Windows / As-Built / Baseline Impact methodologies, and certified QS supply.

Local. Licensed. Present.
FZE LLC licensed in Dubai, based in International City. We attend site reviews, authority submissions, and consultant meetings in person — not via video call from another continent.
Specialists, Not Generalists
We don't offer strategy decks. We open Primavera P6, build your baseline, quantify your claim, and prepare your drawings. Seven specialisms — one team accountable for each.
Built for Disputes
Every schedule we build and every claim we write is prepared with the assumption that it may be challenged. Our documentation is structured for adjudication from day one.
The Difference in Practice
Without PKAS
- ✕ Schedule updated reactively, no critical path discipline
- ✕ EOT claim assembled from emails and memory
- ✕ Drawing clashes discovered on site, RFIs pile up
- ✕ QS recruited late, costing delays and premium fees
With PKAS
- ✓ Live P6 baseline with float analysis and early warning
- ✓ Contemporaneous records, ready-for-submission narrative
- ✓ Coordinated drawings approved before site mobilisation
- ✓ Certified QS on site within days of instruction
