Who it is for
Built around the scope you actually have
You do not need a full contract to get full project control. Every trade has its own package, from civil and structure to the last MEP system, so a specialist gets the same discipline as a full-scope contractor.
Scope 2
Full MEP subcontractors
HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire fighting, LPG and BMS and ELV under one programme and one weekly report to the Main Contractor, with the systems and the civil interface managed together.
Scope 3
Civil, finishing and specialist subcontractors
Civil and structure, finishes, external works, or a single MEP system. The package follows that trade: its activities, its tests, its approvals and its hold points, without paying for scope you do not have.
Scope 4
Teams that need the tools
Tracking templates, KPI calculations and look-ahead formats built for your site and planning team, handed over with a short guide, so your own people can run them.
Start to finish
One control system across the whole job
Most projects lose control in the gaps between planning, procurement, approvals, site and commercial. We run one connected system across all nine stages. Select a stage to see what you receive.
What we do
Control, contracts and claims in one service
Every service can be taken for one system or for the whole project. The full list, with sample documents, is on the services page.
Programme and control
Plan it, track it, report it
Primavera P6 programmes, site trackers, procurement and approvals tracking, look-aheads and one weekly report.

Floatline is a group of professional engineers in the construction field. We have been on the market since 2024, taking on our clients' work and delivering accurate, rapid results as the project requires.
Who we are
A contractor's view of control
2024On the market since
Dubai, UAE
Floatline Project Controls is a group of professional engineers working across the construction field. Since 2024 we have been taking on clients' planning, tracking, contract and claims work, and delivering it accurately and quickly, as the job requires.
We have worked on all kinds of jobs and projects, from civil and structure and finishes to external works and every MEP system. That range is why we plan the whole job, civil, finishes and MEP, as one programme, from the side of the people who have to build it and get paid for it.
We know what a site engineer will actually fill in, what a Main Contractor will accept, and what a claim needs to survive review.
Floatline is led by Mahmmoud Gadallah, who heads planning, contracts and project controls. We are based in Dubai and work with clients across the UAE.

How we work
Accurate, rapid, and in your formats
Clients come to us when a programme, a report or a claim has to be right and has to be ready soon. This is how we deliver that.
Checked against the source
Programmes, trackers and reports are checked against the source data before they go out, so the numbers survive a challenge.
Ready when the job needs it
Send your files and the first checked programme, tracker roll-up and report follow quickly. After that, the same rhythm every week.
Your files first
We work in your P6 file, your trackers and your report format where you have them, and build them where you do not.
Confidentiality. Real project files stay confidential. This portfolio uses illustrative data and anonymised structure only, and no client, project or commercial information from live contracts. References and redacted case studies are available on request where the client has agreed.
Services
What we do for contractors
Programme, site trackers, procurement and approvals, contracts and claims. Each service produces something you can open, check and send to the Main Contractor, consultant or client.

What we take off your desk
Each service produces something you can open, check and send to the Main Contractor, consultant or client. Any service can be taken for one system or for all of them.
Deliverables
What lands in your inbox
Seven of the documents we produce and maintain for contractors, civil and MEP. These are rebuilt on illustrative data for a fictional project, so the structure and layout are real and the numbers are not. Select an image to enlarge it.
Approvals and commissioning
Nothing waits on an authority nobody chased
Authority approvals, NOCs and inspections decide when a system can be tested, energised and handed over. We track every submission and every test as part of the programme, so each approval has an owner, a date and a chase.
Authority approvals and NOC follow-up
Every submission chased to a certificate
- One submission log for civil defence, electricity and water utilities, municipality and the free zone authority, plus building permits and inspection requests for pours and waterproofing
- NOC list per system, tracked from drawing submission to approval certificate
- Ageing report and a chase list with a named next action and date, run twice a week
- Comments and resubmissions tracked so nothing is answered twice or missed
- Inspection requests linked to the P6 activity they release
- An approval that runs late is recorded as a delay event with dates, ready for an EOT notice
Authority and NOC tracker. Sample data.
Testing and commissioning programmes
A T&C programme for every system
- A separate T&C programme in P6 for each system, linked to the main programme
- Test sequence built in: pre-commissioning, static tests, dynamic tests, balancing, witness inspection, integrated systems test
- Method statements, test procedures and inspection requests tracked to approval
- Witness and authority inspections booked only when the earlier stages have passed
- Snag lists and handover documents tracked: test certificates, O&M manuals, as-built drawings
- A T&C matrix by system and stage the Main Contractor can read at a glance
T&C programme by system. Sample data.

Templates and planning tools
Plans your team can build and check
We build tracking templates for your site and planning teams, set the KPI definitions, produce the look-aheads every week, and build up the manhours behind your durations. Try the duration check below.
Manhour and duration check · indicative
Sample 2-week look-ahead
| System | Activity | Location | Start | Finish | Crew | Target |

Each line carries its crew and its target progress for the two weeks, so the weekly meeting checks output against a number. Sample data.
Contracts
Read it, write it, run it: before you sign and after
Most disputes start with a clause nobody read. We review the contracts you receive from Employers and Main Contractors, write the subcontracts you issue, and set up the requirements so the team knows what it owes and what it can claim.
This is a description of method and a commercial review, not legal advice. Matters of legal interpretation or enforceability should go to your lawyer; we prepare the commercial and programme position they will need.
Contracts and claims
When the programme slips, the record decides
Delay claims are won or lost on notices, contemporaneous records and a clean programme. We build that record as the job runs, so an extension of time is a document you already have, not a reconstruction.
Day 0
Event
Delay event logged against the live programme: late handover, design change, authority hold, access.
Within 28 days
Notice
Notice of claim issued under Sub-Clause 20.1 with the event described and the contract basis stated.
Ongoing
Records
Contemporaneous records kept: correspondence, RFIs, site photos, manpower, progress, programme updates.
Within 42 days
Detailed claim
Fully detailed claim with programme analysis, particulars and the extension of time sought under Sub-Clause 8.4.
Updates
Follow-up
Interim claims and a final claim, with the impacted programme kept current and every notice tracked to its deadline.
Delay analysis
Time impact analysis and windows analysis on the P6 programme, separating critical from non-critical delay and Employer-side from contractor-side causes.
Notice control
A notice register that shows what is due, what is overdue and what is time-barred, checked before any other claims work moves on.
Cost claims
Variation valuation, prolongation and cost escalation claims built from records, with a clear line between what you may have grounds for and what you are entitled to.
Commercial and contractual positions depend on the specific contract and facts. This is a description of method and is not legal advice.
Automation
Tools we build so the work repeats cleanly
Weekly reporting should take an hour, not a day. We build Excel and Python tools that remove the re-typing and the transcription errors, and we check their output against the source before it goes out.
Estimating
Manhour benchmark and BOQ matcher
Benchmark → BOQ → manhours → crew and duration
Builds a manhour norm library, matches a consultant's MEP BOQ line by line against it, and returns calculated labour, crew size and duration for tender pricing.
Programme
P6 progress reconciliation
Site trackers → P6 export → updated programme + log
Applies only genuine progress increases from the weekly trackers, writes actual dates, checks sequence logic such as first fix against plaster, and logs everything it did not apply.
Manpower
Attendance consolidation
Daily reports → one workbook → histograms
Rolls a folder of daily attendance files into a single workbook split by staff, company labour, subcontractors and MEP system, with heatmaps and histograms.
Reporting
Progress report pack
Baseline + update → EVM → report deck + dashboard
Produces SPI against baseline, S-curves, progress by system, building and floor, and delay attribution, delivered as slides, an Excel data pack and a dashboard.
