Amana Contracting and Steel Buildings, the regional leader in the design, construction, and commissioning of commercial and industrial buildings in the Middle East, has made a mark for itself with some iconic projects across Qatar.

The company, which is one of the leading names in fast track and turnkey construction in the Middle East, is currently playing a pivotal role in the country, spearheading numerous projects in strategic sectors.
Established in 1993, Amana is now the regional leader in the design-build of industrial and commercial facilities with over 1,500 buildings constructed across the region and vast experience across all leading sectors in the Gulf region. Since its establishment, it has been actively involved in some of the biggest international and regional projects.
Amana’s presence in Qatar continues its impressive success story in the Middle East. With its impressive growth portfolio, it is all set for greater heights, moving ahead with the confidence of achieving substantial success and establishing itself as a quality leader in this market.
Within Qatar, Amana has provided comprehensive design-build solutions to various industrial, commercial and institutional projects, backed by its capabilities to develop a project from conception through construction until completion.
Among key projects it has undertaken and handed over are the turnkey retail project for Dasman Centre, one of the leading hypermarkets in Qatar which spreads across 17,000 sq m, and the steel erection of the General Electric power plant built for the Qatar Electricity and Water Company at Ras Abu Fontas – one of the largest power plants in the country which spreads over 5,600 sq m.
Amana has also ventured into the logistics sector by building a cold store complex for Gulf Warehousing Company in Doha which is spread across 25,000 sq m and accomplished in less than 14 months. The company was also instrumental in constructing a cold store for the Public Warehousing Company in Doha. The facility, spread over 11,000 sq m, was awarded on a design-build basis.
Amana Doha recently handed over the Qatar International Exhibition Centre, built across 30,000 sq m. The project, performed on a fast-track basis, was completed in 16 months.  The company is currently building the  Logistics Terminal for a linear low density polyethylene unit of capacity 450,000 tonnes at the Mesaieed Industrial City in Qatar. It will feature a logistics platform of 56,000 sq m, the largest of its type in the region. This project was secured as a design and build contract.
 “Our projects in Qatar played a key role in our regional growth strategy and the impressive success here is a reflection of our expertise and prompt delivery schedules across prestigious projects covering the GCC and the Middle East,” says Ghassan Assaf, general manager of Amana Doha.  “Qatar is definitely a growing market for Amana and we have a lot of plans in place aimed at involvement with other upcoming developmental projects within the country.”
Amana Contracting also provides a vast array of other services, which include:
• Design-build turnkey solutions - Based on the clients’ requirements and specifications, the company leverages its internal competencies and experiences to streamline project costs and provides the client with value engineered designs. It obtains approvals from authorities and proceeds to complete the turnkey construction of the project.
• Turnkey construction - Amana undertakes projects based on clients’ requirements as per pre-approved designs completed by a third-party engineering/design office.
• Design-build of steel building solutions – It designs steel buildings solutions and undertakes the task of supplying and erecting steel structures. This is typically done for large steel projects such as power plants and oilfield applications.
With over 7,000 employees spread across seven countries, the company’s regional presence coupled with a decentralised structure gives it the unmatched ability to leverage a regional experience base while maintaining the speed and responsiveness of a local company.
