We appoint our own architects and projects are programme managed internally by our teams. We then procure a building contractor as opposed to a house builder and oversee the construction ourselves, with our own resident engineers on-site making sure everything is going according to programme. That is how we have done Shanganagh and how we are doing multiple other projects. These are the 37 direct-delivery sites I mentioned in my statement.
