    Letter from the Chairman

    Dear reader,

    The essence of CAP’s practice is quality, which among the few, we actually deliver, as we managed to do so for more than twenty years!

    Behind our drive for quality is a conviction that we are here to apply the State of Art and Science Knowledge, and to pass the same to the community. Regardless of “who” is in charge, it is the “what” that matters. CAP is not about personalities but about professionalism and proper roles that complement each other like pieces in a jigsaw, different in many aspects but come together to complete the big picture framed inside the organization that is called “CAP”.

    I am taking this opportunity to reveal the structure of the team behind the delivery of our services as, I believe, it is in the diversity of the disciplines and personalities, each with its own strength and weakness, our success lies. CAP is a linear organization where decisions are taken collectively by teams. The Top Management team is made of Principal Director Arch. Muwaffaq Abdulghani Abdullah who has more than 30 years of experience in Architecture, Engineering Design and Management; Arch. Gizelle Samaha with her 15 years of experience in Architectural Design and Creativity; and myself, with my Managerial and Construction experience for more than 30 years. Together, we came to establish a consortium of excellence and strength that renders CAP capable and competitive. Same principle applies to all tiers of our structure, whereas each team is made of valuable and highly qualified members of CAP family. I call it family because it really is, and would like CAP to continue as families do.

    Our strategy in moving ahead is to carry on consolidating our position, enriching it with capabilities that take care of the challenging responsibilities, and projects we keep on winning through the good reputation emanated from our accomplished and current projects in thriving societies.

    Finally, for more than twenty-five years, CAP stood for excellence in Architectural, Engineering, Planning, Management, and Supervision services. I am proud of the remarkably talented members of this great company.

    Tony Rizk
    RESTORATION AND REHABILITATION

    With our professional international collaborators, CAP is the right choice to help you restore, rehabilitate and conserve. At CAP, we value cultural heritage especially in the Middle East, which is a remarkably challenging place.

We believe that cultural heritage can bring people together and recreate a sense of belonging and pride to the people who have witnessed a lot of suffering.
    In CAP, we can assist you on all the different phases of such a project like survey, structural analysis, architectural analysis, materials and decay mapping, design, rehabilitation, etc.  All while being sustainable and following the international restoration principles.
