Subsequent to the original design by Chicago-based SOM (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill) LLP, Emaar Properties chose Hyder Consulting for its structural and MEP engineering capability to meet the demands, complexity and enormity of design adoption and construction supervision for the world's tallest building.

Under UAE law, the contractor and the Engineer of Record are jointly and severally liable for the performance of Burj Dubai.

Therefore, by adoption of SOM's design and by being appointed as the Engineer and Architect of Record, Hyder Consulting is legally the Design Consultant for the tower.

In this role, Hyder worked closely with the contractor joint venture Samsung-Besix-Arabtec to overcome the many construction and logistical challenges faced at various stages of the project, reengineered structural, façades and MEP systems to suit the contractor's and local authority requirements, and provided construction supervision for this historic endeavor.
