First Bahrain, an innovative regional real estate developer, announced the appointment of Baker Wilkins and Smith (BWS) Middle East as its cost consultants for its warehousing project at the Bahrain Investment Wharf (BIW).

The move to appoint BWS Middle East is part of First Bahrain's proactive approach to cost management and quality control, measures that have resulted in the company maintaining strong financial performance despite the global downturn.

BWS Middle East will be involved in cost control management for First Bahrain's project at the BIW, as well as other projects. First Bahrain's current warehousing project at the BIW is an example of the company's demand-driven investment approach and when launched later this year, will fill an existing niche in the Bahrain market for logistics space catering to the small to medium enterprise sector.

BWS Middle East will provide preliminary cost advice, life cycle costing, 'value for money' advice on designs and construction approaches through strict cost control and cost planning for current and future projects.

Amin Al Arrayed, general manager of First Bahrain, said: "First Bahrain previously held a business relationship with BWS Middle East, and through our strong relationship we are confident in their appointment as our cost consultants."
