Engineering-Led.Independently Minded.
Bodhi Brandes Project Management Services LLC is a Dubai-based consultancy which originated in 1983 in Australia, branched out internationally, providing project management, engineering coordination, technical advisory, and specialist construction services for complex developments across the UAE and GCC.
A bridge between every party
Bodhi Brandes connects design teams, consultants, contractors, manufacturers, specialists, and clients — translating between disciplines that rarely speak the same technical language.
Specialist by design
The firm concentrates on technically demanding packages: acrylic structures, swimming pools, aquariums, water features, and water-retaining construction across the UAE and GCC.
Independent by principle
No construction arm, no supply agreements, no conflicts. Advice and leadership that serve only the project's interest.
Built for the Projects Others Find Difficult.
Standard project management assumes standard problems. Bodhi Brandes was established for the opposite: developments where a transparent pool wall spans two structures, where an aquarium panel arrives on a vessel with no margin for damage, where waterproofing, structure, and specialist systems must perform as one.
The firm provides independent project management, technical coordination, design management, procurement support, construction supervision, and specialist advisory — with direct senior involvement on every engagement.
Experienced Leadership.
Direct Involvement.
Bodhi Brandes has spent more than forty years working with acrylic and specialist resins — a journey that began in 1983, when he discovered a Western Australian workshop crafting furniture from a crystal-clear, man-made material and was, in his own words, absolutely enthralled. Trained in art and design in San Francisco, advanced ceramics at Durham University, and hardwood craftsmanship under a German master of Japanese woodcraft, he brought an artist's eye and a maker's discipline to an industrial material. As founder and long-serving managing director of Exclusive Acrylic in Australia and then Dubai, he led the engineering, fabrication, and installation of large-format acrylic structures around the world — from the 8.6-ton Plexiglas Diamond of Brunei to heavy-gauge domes for Expo 2020. He founded Bodhi Brandes Project Management Services LLC to place that experience on the client's side of the table: independent, engineering-led project leadership for complex architectural and water-related projects.
