iAS Page 3 January 2009

Type of ServiceOur set-up guarantees a focused and personalised service, on both small and large scale projects. We

perform particularly well on architecturally-led projects due to our part-architectural background from ourundergraduate degrees and day-to-day experience with construction projects of varying magnitude. This

enables us to meet the architectural requirements with improved buildability and structural efficiency, and

build meaningful relationships with clients and contractors. We constantly research innovative structural

solutions and maintain an awareness of current construction trends through association with foreign

universities and participation in international seminars and competitions, where we are fully conversant to

British and European codes of practice and received technical education and chartership from UK

universities / institutions.

Management of ProjectsWe assign a project leader for each project who is the main contact and is responsible for assigning and

managing the required workload to our resources according to the needs and requirements of each

individual project. The permanent staff comprises of principal architects and chartered structural

engineers, who are directly responsible for technical aspects of the jobs, and a number of junior

engineers and CAD technicians. All work is therefore of a professional quality and will meet the highest

requirements of the job, where quality, resources, programme and buildability are regarded as indivisible.

CORE COMPETENCES

iAS has carefully identified its core competencies and shaped its corporate strategy around them. Its corecompetencies resonate with the previous experience of its talented staff and are also further strengthened

through the continuous development programmes it offers to its professional staff. All this is in line with

the core values of iAS, amongst which one finds commitment to customers in all fields of service ranging

from unyielding personal availability, to cutting edge technical knowledge in the core competencies.

Structural DesignDepending on the clients request, our team of versatile structural engineers can provide a service

ranging from conceptual analysis, used to determine load distribution and initial sizing, to a fullydetailed analysis including nonlinear Finite Element aided by commercially available software

packages or computer programmes developed in-house. Full design to any relevant structural

standard but mainly to British Standards, Eurocodes or ASTM codes, our firm will provide the client with

a package of schematic or detailed drawings indicating all member sizes from foundations to roof

level. Also included in the package will be the detailed design of joints incorporating schematic

drawings of each variant.

Geotechnical DesignOur office is equipped with qualified staff in the field of geotechnics / civil engineering, and has been

commissioned to carry out related works locally in Malta. Through this branch we carry out research on

the properties of the local rocks and soils with the purpose of obtaining a better understanding of the

way that civil and structural engineering works interact with the ground. This enables us to produce

effective ground-structure interfaces and economical foundation design.

Facade EngineeringWe also provide a full facade and glass engineering consultancy service ranging from feasibility design

stage to performance specification and testing stages. Through our links with leading manufacturers

and research institutions, which have vast experience of working on various facade and glass

engineering projects in the UK, our staff are able to resource the most recent innovative facade

solutions in this multi-disciplinary field.

Architectural DesigniAS has been entrusted with various architectural projects in Malta where we have been able to meet

the amalgamate innovative design with our sound knowledge in construction practices and from our

experience with local planning legislation. We are able follow our designs through from initial


5/25


conception to final construction and are able to correctly interpret the architectural features through the

continuous contribution of our architectural design team throughout the building process.

Project ManagementiAS is a multi disciplinary professional service firm which has in the recent years extended its portfolio to

include construction project management. The focus of the management team involves implementing

management systems models suited to the particular needs of the Maltese construction industry. Our

style of project management is to assign a lead consultant that will take ownership of the project and

client relationships. The lead consultant will have full support of a close knit team of high calibre trained

professionals. We feel that the experience of our staff in our core competencies, together with the manner

in which we practice our core values, provides benefit to the client in all aspects of time, quality and cost.

The model we are adopting has been tested and refined in practice by our team in other major and

prestigious projects we are engaged in as project managers, namely Lufthansa Technik Malta.

iAS has also had experience in construction management, where we have acted in this role for projects

involving Oil Tanking Malta Terminal 4, ITS Development in Qala and the San Lawrenz road works. Our

understanding of construction works and buildability issues enables us to work closely with the building

contractors and to be proactive in forecasting any potential difficulties and work schedules. Our style of

project management is not based on a paper trail basis alone but we believe that flexibility, efficient

communication and the active construction of a project team forms the basis of a successfully completed

project. We face limitations in the small scale of the local construction industry by working to develop

relationships with all parties involved to build a motivated team which works together to a single common

goal.

At iAS we believe that our commitment to our people is the guarantee of service quality and we strive to

pass on to our people the successful iAS style of building unyielding relationships with our clients. We

believe that topping up talented, technical people with the ability to communicate proactively, and to be

sensitive to our clients demands, is the essence of the iAS ethos.
