The building that works.
A building is only as good as what makes it work: power, lighting, fire safety, ventilation, plumbing and low-voltage systems. AHMA takes on these building services with its own teams, from the design of the networks to commissioning, so that the finished work is not only sound and handsome but fully operational on the day it is handed over. Every conduit, every distribution board and every lighting point is designed for reliability, safety and ease of maintenance.
In sensitive facilities such as hospitals or courthouses, command of the building services is decisive: continuity of supply, compliance with standards, close coordination with the structural works and the fit-out. By holding this expertise in-house, AHMA avoids breaks in the chain between trades, keeps the whole coherent and hands over buildings that are ready for use, where everything works from the first day. It is the invisible that gives the visible its quality.

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.
