Introduction

For more than fifty years there has been one name that has consistently been a synonym in our industry for trustworthiness, quality and the best in infrastructure creation and development: National Contracting.

At National Contracting we are proud of our reputation for completing all our projects on time, in budget, and to the highest international standards. This reputation means we are known across the region as a consistently high-quality creator of some of the most important roads, drainage systems, and civil engineering projects that people in the UAE use every day of the week.

This consistency is the simple but effective recipe for our success. We believe in building communities. This belief shows itself nowhere better than in our firm commitment to our people, and the people of the UAE. We strive to invest in professionalism, in technology, and in the quality of service we offer to you, as we do for every single one of our clients.

Over these fifty eventful years we have been in business, we have continued to invest in our supply chain by building, amongst other things, concrete and asphalt plants. This investment allows us total quality assurance, as well as an ability to supply both generic and niche materials, according to your need, and peace of mind.

We are National Contracting: Superior Civil Engineers.

History

The UAE's history of the past fifty years has never been quiet. Infrastructure building and civil engineering projects of ever-greater size and complexity have continued to arise.

When National Contracting – or the National Contracting and Transportation Company was first suggested in the early 1960s – this growth was only just beginning. It was clear though to the company founders that sudden growth in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah, along with the other Northern Emirates was imminent.

In 1965, the decision was made, and National Contracting was born in Sharjah. Immediately the company acquired road and infrastructure projects that would set the stage for its phenomenal later growth.

The history of National Contracting has mirrored that of the UAE: vision fuelled by a desire to make the country the pride of the region and the envy of its competitors across the GCC.

Thanks to the vision of the founders, the wise policies of its rulers, and the careful management of our team, National Contracting today sits rightfully at the apex of our industry, with a record to be proud of, and the projects to prove it.

Chairman's Message

"The year 1965 was a watershed year for many reasons for the people of the UAE. Although still on the cusp of announcing independence, the vision and desire of our nation to create a modern state with world-leading infrastructure was already in process. This is why we established National Contracting. It was to be a company that not only provided the people and the country with the best solutions to our infrastructural needs, but did so with a desire to give back further through investment in the best people and the best ways of doing business. We have never lost sight of this ideal. It is what continues to inspire us over fifty years later, and I am sure, what will inspire us into the next generation of young Emiratis to whom we hand on the baton of responsibility for our collective future. Today, we are an industry-leading company with investments in our supply-chain; our technology and our people that ensure that whatever construction, civil engineering, drainage or other related project you need, you will find the best solution at National Contracting. Today, we take on and succeed with mega projects that would have been unthinkable a generation ago. We look forward hopefully, trusting in our ability and in our capacity to make greater strides forward in the future, both here in the UAE and across the wider region, to ensure that wherever we work, we will deliver a result that pleases everyone. We look forward to working with you.

The Team

All companies have humble beginnings. National Contracting is no exception. In 1965 with a small team of professionals, over fifty years on, like the scope of our business and the size of our projects, we have made changes, too.

With some of the most highly qualified and experienced project managers in the Middle East today, National Contracting has built a world-leading team that is capable of delivering any project.

These are ably supported by our many specialist site agents, procurement, project, project-planning, site, lab, materials, office and quality control engineers; able quantity surveyors, draughtsmen, surveyors, and dedicated safety officers, who have worked together on many projects and know each other's work intimately. Along with our skilled and semi-skilled workers, and labourers, National Contracting has a team that is focused on the task and the optimal completion of each and every project.

At National Contracting we work with you in mind.
