OUR STORY

A shared vision, a successful journey.

Design Zone was built on the convergence of business leadership, Saudi construction-industry heritage and deep BIM and digital engineering expertise.

What began in Amman in 2013 as a focused engineering and BIM consultancy evolved — through Autodesk-certified BIM training, Saudi expansion and Vision 2030 giga-project delivery — into a regional engineering and technology partner headquartered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, developing proprietary digital twin platforms (TwinMs and TwinMaq) that extend the value of built assets across their entire lifecycle.

FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL

Led by Dr. Al-Twassi, who founded it.

Design Zone was founded in Amman, Jordan in 2013 by Dr. Esraa Al-Twassi — an architect by training, with a BSc in Architectural Engineering from Jordan University of Science & Technology, an MSc in Construction Project Management from Birmingham City University and a PhD in Architecture from Istanbul Okan University (2024, high honour). The company later expanded its operations and established its headquarters and primary business presence in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia — growing from an engineering services firm into the BIM partner behind some of the Kingdom’s most ambitious Vision 2030 work.

CONSTRUCTION HERITAGE

A legacy in construction. A vision for innovation.

Design Zone is a Faisal Adham Group technology company. The group’s construction heritage is the foundation of our strategic Saudi market perspective.

Turki Faisal Kamal Adham brings business leadership informed by a family legacy in the Saudi construction sector. That perspective helped shape Design Zone’s growth strategy: build local digital capability, serve complex projects, and invest in technologies that create value beyond construction handover.
