By GlobalDataMeanwhile, Blumer Lehmann will provide timber construction planning and fabrication services along with the supply works for a resort, which was designed by Kengo Kuma and situated on Ummahat Al Shaykh Island.
The work also involves design, off-site manufacturing in Switzerland, as well as the supply of all engineered timber material for the complete hotel, overwater and beach villas, spa and fitness building, restaurants, and the arrival building.
The company will also be responsible for providing the technical support and supervision required for smooth on-site installation.
Blumer Lehmann owner and CEO Katharina Lehmann said: “Our off-site manufacturing methods will help to reduce waste, as well as the human impact of construction activities on-site, such as noise, ground disturbance and vehicle movements.
“The Red Sea Project is a destination like no other, and we’re proud to be contributing to such an ambitious project.”
Upon completion, the Red Sea Project will feature 50 hotels and 1,300 residential properties across 22 islands and six inland sites.
