The last word on the building.
Finishes and fit-out are the last word on a building: renders, floor and wall coverings, paintwork, suspended ceilings, wall tiling, everything the occupant sees and touches from day to day. AHMA carries these packages with the same seriousness as the structure, because this is where the final perception of quality is decided. Every surface is prepared, treated and then handed over by the company's own teams, to a standard of neatness and consistency that leaves nothing to chance.
Getting the finishes right calls for faultless coordination with every trade that comes before: a defect in the structural works or in a services package shows immediately on a finished surface. By keeping this trade in-house, AHMA retains control down to the last square metre and delivers buildings that are cleanly finished, consistent and durable. It is this attention to the final detail that turns a completed building into a work to be proud of.

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.
