Our approach is both methodical and creative. Our services
Zineb Aboulilal
Project Manager / Co-founder
I’m Zineb, co-founder of ZaL Consult and a Project Manager specialising in high-end renovations. Approachable and personable, I have primarily built my experience on-site.
My first project quickly taught me the fundamentals: understanding the building's reality, coordinating diverse teams, and maintaining strict organisational standards.
Since then, I have honed my project management skills:
- structured site organisation
- solid technical knowledge
- clear and effective team communication
- calm and methodical handling of unexpected challenges
What motivates me every day is seeing a project come together coherently and under control. At ZaL Consult, I provide precise oversight, seamless coordination, and attentive guidance, always with a solutions-oriented approach. My role is to create a smooth, reassuring framework for our clients while guaranteeing flawless execution on-site.
Lorène Le Bail
Cost Manager / Co-founder
I am Lorène, co-founder of ZaL Consult and a Cost Manager with over a decade of experience, equally passionate about numbers, travel and fine dining
An engineer by training, I began my career in New Zealand, travelling solo while working as a Quantity Surveyor on post-earthquake reconstruction projects. This demanding environment shaped both my discipline and my human-centred approach to project management.
Back in France, I spent eight years within a leading European consultancy, working with international clients and refining my expertise in cost management, negotiation and English (almost as fluent as my love for global cuisine).
Known for my keen eye and natural ability to identify budget anomalies, at ZaL Consult I oversee, optimise and safeguard project costs while supervising the FF&E division. I approach each project with precision, curiosity and a sense of adventure — even in Excel
Our strengths are complementary: Lorène brings analytical rigor, while Zineb contributes project insight and intuition. At ZaL Consult, we are committed to delivering technical support that is precise, elegant and deeply human — reflecting the trust our clients place in us.
