Day 19: Galleria Visit and Delays, Disputes, and Arbitration Lecture

The day started off with a site visited to the Galleria Barsha Retail Center, led by Mr. Jihad. Since the project was already handed over, Mr. Jihad went over finishes, MEP works, and some challenges faced during the construction process.

Since we had just had the lecture on MEP coordination the day before, Mr. Jihad tried to point out where the coordination was evident.

Afterwards, we went back to the office. We had lunch, which consisted of pizza, lasagna, and marble cake. We then had a lecture on delays, disputes, and arbitrations given by Mr. Ian Harper in preparation for our upcoming case study.

Some of us went to the Mall of the Emirates to enjoy some Chinese food. We then tried some knefeh for dessert, and it was delicious!

Then some of the group went out to enjoy the nightlife before our day off to Abu Dhabi.
