Engineering Clarity for Apartments & Standalone Villas.

Wejha Studio is an integrated architectural design, engineering consultancy, and turnkey construction practice (Design & Build) headquartered in New Cairo, Egypt. We work across residential projects—ranging from apartments and duplexes to standalone villas and private residences—as well as boutique commercial spaces across New Cairo, Sheikh Zayed, 6th of October, the North Coast, and the New Administrative Capital. We bridge the critical gap between 3D architectural plans and on-site engineering execution under a single, fully accountable contract.

We provide complete end-to-end architectural and construction services for residential projects (from apartments to standalone villas):
• Pre-Construction & Surveying: Geotechnical soil investigation, laser surveying, and compound/municipal zoning review.
• Architectural & Structural Design: Full shop drawings, municipal building permits, and constructible 3D models.
• Civil Skeleton & Substructure: Deep excavation, reinforced raft foundations, multi-barrier waterproofing, and solid concrete frameworks.
• MEP Systems: Concealed air conditioning, acoustic drainage networks, and smart home electrical wiring.
• Interior Finishes & Architecture: Natural marble installation, bespoke woodwork and cabinetry, acoustic thermal glazing, and interior space planning.
• Exterior & Landscape: Swimming pools, hardscape, pergolas, and automated garden irrigation.

We handle residential and commercial spaces across a wide range of scales—from individual apartments to expansive villas:
• Residential Apartments, Penthouses & Duplexes: Interior architecture, space planning, MEP refitting, and turnkey finishing.
• Standalone Villas, Townhouses & Twin Houses: Complete construction from raw ground to handover, or full interior and exterior finishing.
• Coastal Residences: Waterfront villas and chalets across the North Coast and Red Sea engineered for marine climates.
• Boutique Commercial & Administrative Offices: Corporate offices, executive boardrooms, and showrooms requiring tailored architectural execution.

We provide three flexible, client-tailored engagement models:
1. Integrated Turnkey Design & Build (Our Signature Approach): Single-point responsibility for 100% of the project—from concept design and municipal permits to structural concrete casting, interior finishes, and final handover. This prevents contractor finger-pointing and guarantees that what was approved in 3D is executed on-site with zero deviations.
2. Architectural & Interior Design Only: Complete executive drawing packages, structural calculations, MEP schematics, and realistic 3D visualization books for clients who wish to tender the execution independently.
3. General Contracting & Site Supervision: For clients who already possess approved design sets from other practices and require disciplined engineering to manage on-site execution under strict QA/QC standards.

Yes, absolutely. We have a dedicated Turnkey Interior Fit-Out Division for both residential apartments and villas. If you have received your unit in core-and-shell or semi-finished condition (طوب أحمر أو محارة), or wish to completely renovate an existing residence, we manage the complete interior execution: architectural space planning, acoustic and concealed MEP infrastructure, natural marble, carpentry and joinery, lighting distribution, and final handover ready for living.

Yes. Our dedicated statutory engineering team handles all regulatory requirements from start to finish:
• Municipal Building Licenses: Comprehensive submission to the relevant City Development Authorities (New Cairo, Sheikh Zayed, 6th of October, New Capital) under Egyptian Building Law No. 119/2008.
• Compound Technical Approvals: Direct coordination with compound developer engineering offices (EMAAR, SODIC, Palm Hills, Mountain View, Hyde Park, etc.) adhering to setbacks, maximum ridge heights, exterior color codes, and site operating hours.
• Civil Defense & Utility Connections: Securing permanent 3-phase electrical metering, municipal water connections, and telecommunication conduits.

Timelines depend on the built-up area and project scope:
• Turnkey Villa Construction (Raw Plot to Move-In): Typically ranges from 12 to 18 months, covering design and permits (2–3 months), civil concrete structure (5–7 months), and MEP with architectural finishes (6–8 months).
• Turnkey Apartment or Villa Interior Fit-Out: Typically ranges from 3 to 6 months depending on unit size and customization level.
Before contract signing, you receive an exact engineering schedule with defined milestone delivery dates.

In traditional construction, disconnects happen because the architect draws visuals that the contractor cannot build. At Wejha Studio:
1. Feasible Engineering Modeling: Every 3D render is generated directly from constructible BIM/CAD models with pre-sourced material codes.
2. Material Samples & Mockups: Physical sample boards (marble slabs, wood veneers, glazing tints, aluminum finishes) are signed off by the client prior to site procurement.
3. Sub-Millimeter Shop Drawings: Before breaking ground, executive shop drawings are produced for every joint, reveal, and duct coordinate.
4. Resident Architect on Site: Our site engineers use laser leveling and BIM tablets on-site to inspect work daily against the approved digital models.

Transparency is our foundational principle. All project pricing is determined through an itemized Bill of Quantities (BOQ / مقايسة تفصيلية):
• Every single component is quantified (m³ of concrete, tons of certified steel, m² of marble, linear meters of ducting).
• Each item includes verified brand names, technical models, and installation specifications.
• Fixed Unit Rates & Fixed Scope: Once the specifications are finalized and approved, prices for the agreed scope are contractually frozen. We maintain zero hidden fees, zero unexplained extras, and full transparency.

We operate exclusively on a Milestone-Based Payment Structure linked directly to verified site inspections:
• Mobilization Advance: To initiate earthworks, permits, and long-lead material reservations.
• Milestone Progress Installments: Tied to tangible, verified structural and finish achievements (e.g., Foundation Casting Sign-off -> Ground Slab Completion -> Skeleton Handover -> MEP Pressure Testing -> Plaster & Insulation -> Marble & Joinery Installation).
• Final Retention Handover Payment: Released only after final client inspection, operational testing, and snag-list rectification.
You never pay for future uncommenced work; disbursements correspond strictly to verified site progress.

Every single Wejha Studio site is staffed by a dedicated full-time Resident Civil & Architectural Engineer who remains on-site throughout every working hour.
Quality protocols include:
• Concrete Testing: Cube compression testing at 7 and 28 days conducted by certified university engineering laboratories.
• Steel Reinforcement: Utilizing prime certified steel (Ezz / Beshay) with mill test certificates matching seismic design specifications.
• Waterproofing Hydrostatic Testing: Mandatory 72-hour continuous water submersion testing for foundations, subterranean walls, wet areas, and roof decks before covering.
• Principal Partner Inspections: Weekly site audits conducted by our executive project directors.

We stand behind our engineering for decades with legally binding guarantees:
• 10-Year Decennial Structural Warranty (الضمان العشري): Legally certified warranty covering structural stability, reinforced foundations, columns, beams, slabs, and moisture insulation in accordance with Article 651 of the Egyptian Civil Code.
• 10-Year Waterproofing Guarantee: Official certified warranty against subterranean water ingress and roof membrane failures.
• 1–2 Year Comprehensive Defect Liability Period: Free repair warranty covering electro-mechanical networks, plumbing fixtures, electrical panels, and bespoke joinery fittings.

A significant portion of our clients reside in the Gulf (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait) or in North America and Europe. We provide a structured remote tracking system:
• Dedicated WhatsApp Executive Channel: Direct daily link with your Project Director and Resident Site Engineer.
• Weekly Photographic & Video Logs: Walkthrough footage showing completed work against scheduled milestones.
• Aerial Drone Progress Scans: Capturing structural progress, concrete pour sequences, and surrounding site elevations.
• Milestone Approvals via Digital Signatures: Formal progress reports and material approvals conducted smoothly without requiring travel to Egypt.

Yes. While major structural elements (such as columns or shear walls) cannot be altered after concrete casting for safety, interior layouts and finishing modifications are accommodated via our structured Change Order Protocol:
1. Formal Engineering Feasibility Review: We assess whether the proposed change affects MEP networks, load distributions, or compound regulations.
2. Transparent Variance Statement: You receive a written document specifying the exact cost difference and any schedule adjustment.
3. Client Written Sign-off: Work proceeds on-site only after you have reviewed and formally approved the change order.

Scheduling is simple and immediate:
• Book directly through our website consultation form, call our office, or connect via WhatsApp.
• What to Bring / Share:
1. Plot location, dimensions, or compound plot code (for raw land).
2. Architectural floor plans or developer handover drawings (for apartments or delivered villas).
3. Compound building guidelines or developer contract regulations (if available).
4. An outline of your personal functional requirements, lifestyle brief, and target timeline.
During the consultation, our principal architectural and civil engineers analyze your project parameters, outline zoning allowances, review preliminary cost benchmarks, and present an exact execution strategy.
