Al Shafar General Cont-racting (ASGC), one of Dubai’s leading construction companies, has announced that its Windsor Manor residential project located in Business Bay is progressing as scheduled and is on course for completion by mid 2009.

One of the unique aspects in the construction of the 29-storey residential building is the use of precast concrete beams and slabs, resulting in significant reduction in the overall cost of construction and minimising manpower requirements.
 “We are pleased with the pace of construction of the Windsor Manor project; the use of precast beams, slabs and staircases has meant that we were able to efficiently overcome industry challenges such as shortage of labourers, while also being able to bring down construction costs with the best quality,” says Amgad Bebawy, project manager Windsor Manor, Al Shafar General Contracting.
The use of precast concrete in construction, according to him, is an economic, durable, structurally sound and architecturally versatile method of construction. It ensures optimum use of materials, reuse of moulds, less waste material; ensures shorter construction time; it’s an environmentally friendly way of building by better use of available building materials and production systems with a reduced environmental burden, besides guaranteeing quality.
“When completed by mid next year, we believe that Windsor Manor will be one of the most sought-after residential buildings in Business Bay with its striking design and world-class facilities to meet every requirement of discerning customers,” says Bebawy.
Ideally located on a lakeside plot, Windsor Manor offers one-, two-, three-bedroom and garden duplex apartments, complemented by a fully-equipped health club, multi-level parking, recreation areas, swimming pool, high speed elevators, 24/7 security, wireless connectivity and multi-cuisine restaurants.
