Timber, the warmth of the detail.
Timber joinery gives a building its warmth and its finest level of finish. AHMA works timber in its own workshop (doors, cupboards, wall linings, fitted furniture, interior fit-out) with an attention to detail that is seen and felt in the daily use of the building. Every piece is measured, drawn, shaped and then installed by the company's own teams, in a constant search for the right balance between material, function and appearance.
Far from being mere panelling, timber contributes to the identity and the comfort of a space: the warm welcome of a lobby, the restraint of a courtroom, the privacy of a hospital room. By keeping this trade in-house, AHMA ensures consistent quality, installation precisely coordinated with the other trades and a finish that meets the expectations of its contracting authorities. It is often on that detail that the quality of a building is judged.

Client and project supervisor: who does what on a building site in Morocco
On a public building site in Morocco, the client (maître d'ouvrage), called the contracting authority in procurement, is the authority that prepares and awards the contract and has it carried out in the name of the public body. The project supervisor (maître d'œuvre) designs the works and supervises them on the client's behalf, and the construction company builds them. Around them come the delegated client, the architect, the engineering consultancy, the technical inspection body, the testing laboratory and the subcontractors.
