About Us

Project Management & Development Advisory

Hourie Management Offshore (HMO) is a project management and development advisory firm established in Beirut, Lebanon, in 2004.

HMO provides professional support to owners, developers, contractors and other project stakeholders, with particular strength in managing complexity, strengthening project controls and supporting successful project delivery.

Our experience encompasses projects across Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and West Africa, covering residential, commercial, hospitality, infrastructure and other major developments.

Our approach is practical and execution-oriented. Rather than limiting our role to monitoring and reporting, we work with clients and project teams to identify problems early, establish effective controls, coordinate stakeholders and support decisions that protect time, cost, quality and project value.

Our Approach

Projects succeed when experience is converted into effective management and timely decisions.

We therefore focus on understanding the client's objectives, establishing the appropriate management structure, identifying risks early and maintaining control over time, cost, quality, contracts and resources.

Whether acting for an owner, supporting a contractor or providing independent project management, HMO brings the same commitment to practical solutions, professional integrity and measurable project outcomes.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to help clients successfully navigate complex projects by providing experienced, practical and independent professional support throughout the project lifecycle.

We aim to bring clarity to complex situations, strengthen project controls, anticipate challenges and help our clients make decisions that protect their objectives and investments.

What We Do

Our Services

HMO's services are built around three complementary areas of expertise, enabling us to support projects from both the owner's and contractor's side.

01Project Management

HMO provides project management services throughout the project lifecycle, from inception and planning through construction, handover and closeout.

We establish the management framework required to keep projects under control, including planning and scheduling, risk management, quality management, resource coordination and stakeholder management.

Our role is to provide clients with clear visibility of project performance while ensuring that issues are identified, addressed and managed before they affect the project's objectives.

Our Project Management services include:

Project Planning & Scheduling
Developing realistic project strategies, programmes and schedules aligned with project objectives.
Risk Management
Identifying, assessing and mitigating technical, commercial, contractual and execution risks.
Quality Management
Establishing appropriate controls to ensure that project deliverables meet the required standards.
Resource Management
Planning and coordinating the efficient deployment of project resources.
Stakeholder Management
Maintaining effective communication and coordination among owners, consultants, contractors, authorities and other stakeholders.

02Contractor Back-Office & Project Support

HMO also provides specialist back-office support to contractors, strengthening their project-management and commercial functions without the need to establish a large permanent internal structure.

Our support is designed around the realities of construction execution, helping contractors maintain control over planning, contracts, cost, time and documentation.

Our Contractor Support services include:

Planning & Project Controls
Development and monitoring of project programmes, workflows, progress and recovery strategies.
Contracts Administration
Support in contract administration, compliance, correspondence, notices, documentation and commercial matters.
Cost Monitoring
Monitoring project expenditure, commitments and cost performance against approved budgets.
Time Monitoring
Tracking progress against contractual milestones and identifying potential delays at an early stage.
Documentation Management
Establishing and maintaining structured project documentation and records to support effective project administration and commercial protection.

This service reflects one of HMO's key strengths: understanding the pressures faced by contractors while providing the management discipline required to protect project performance and margins.

03Employer's Representative

HMO acts as an Employer's Representative, providing independent professional oversight and protecting the client's interests throughout the project lifecycle.

We can become involved from the earliest stages of project definition and remain engaged through design, procurement, construction, handover and closeout.

Our Employer's Representative services include:

Concept & Development Support
Assisting the client in defining project objectives, scope, delivery strategy and initial development plans.
Design & Planning Oversight
Reviewing design development and ensuring alignment with the client's objectives, project requirements and applicable regulations.
Tendering & Procurement
Supporting tender preparation, contractor evaluation, procurement strategy and selection.
Construction Oversight
Monitoring construction progress, quality, programme, cost and compliance while coordinating with the project team.
Handover & Closeout
Managing the transition from construction to operation, including completion, documentation, testing, commissioning and handover.

Our objective is to provide the client with independent professional oversight, informed decision-making and continuous protection of project objectives and value.

SH 04 · Heritage & Leadership Since 1964

Our Heritage & Leadership

Our Heritage

The heritage of Hourie Management Offshore (HMO) is founded on a combination of long-standing contracting experience and more than four decades of engineering, project management and development advisory expertise.

The roots of this heritage extend to Enterprises A.R. Hourie, established in 1964 and built through decades of contracting and construction activity across the region.

HMO was established in Beirut in 2004 under the leadership of Dr. Jihad Samaha, Ph.D., President & CEO, whose career spans more than four decades of engineering, project management and advisory experience on complex projects across the Middle East and Africa.

Mr. Rami Hourie, Chairman and co-founder of HMO, carries forward the Hourie family's contracting heritage and its practical understanding of construction, project execution and commercial performance.

Together, their complementary backgrounds have shaped HMO's distinctive approach: combining the perspective of the engineer and project manager with the practical realities of the contractor.

This foundation remains central to HMO's work today, enabling the firm to understand projects from both the client's and contractor's perspectives and to provide advice grounded in the realities of project delivery.
