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.
- Mr.Abdullah Mohammed Sharif Zaman, Chairman
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.
