About A2A DesignBits and Partners
Where Global Experience Meets Smart Innovation
A2A DesignBits and Partners is a UAE-based B2B consultancy that helps owners and developers define project value early, evaluate design alternatives and align facility decisions with operational requirements, cost, schedule and lifecycle performance. It was founded by Ally Ally, who brings more than 20 years of global facility design and project experience gained at Schlumberger (SLB).
Our Story
Drawing on our founder's two decades of designing and managing large-scale industrial, commercial and energy-sector facilities worldwide, A2A identified a gap in the UAE market: complexes built without smart technologies, energy optimization, or scalable building solutions.
A2A DesignBits and Partners was created to fill that gap — bringing global best practices, selected technology providers, and local market expertise together under one roof. DesignBits stands for Design and Building Innovative Technologies services.
