  History
  Dar Al-Handasah was established in November 1956, and given the Arabic name دار الهندسة Dar Al-Handasah meaning "the house of engineering". It was founded by Kamal Shair (1930-2008) and three fellow professors in Engineering from the American University of Beirut (AUB) Engineering School. Later it was named Dar Al-Handasah Shair and Partners.
  In 1986, the company acquired the United States-based design firm of Perkins and Will.
  The firm won the IStructE Award for Transportation Structures and the Supreme Award in 2006 for designing the Prai River Bridge in Penang, Malaysia.
