<strong>Company</strong> History<br />
<strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong> launched in 2007 with a focus on civil works and residential<br />
construction. Started by Saud Al-<strong>Zakwani</strong>, a long-time player in the construction<br />
industry, the company is now managed by his son, Zuhair, and maintains its<br />
family orientated values. Beginning with the idea of ‘building homes with value,’<br />
it continues to focus on the home experience when constructing residential<br />
spaces.<br />
By 2010 the company had positioned itself as a residential and commercial<br />
contractor, also providing landscaping and MEP works.<br />
By aiming for bigger, more technical projects each year, <strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong><br />
has managed to maintain an annual level of growth, getting the company to<br />
where it is today. Moving from small, residential homes to larger twin-villas, to<br />
apartment buildings and residential complexes, <strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong> now sits in a<br />
position where it can offer a full range of services to clients.<br />

quality services, client satisfaction, and maximum efficiency.<br />
Working with <strong>Zakwani</strong><br />
<strong>United</strong><br />
Developing <strong>Zakwani</strong><br />
<strong>United</strong><br />
Over the years, <strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong><br />
have built a reputable list of<br />
suppliers and subcontractors,<br />
allowing us to provide<br />
specialized contracting services<br />
to clients in a reliable manner.<br />
The growth of ZU has been<br />
reliable and steady since the<br />
beginning. Every new job is a<br />
learning opportunity and we<br />
keep that idea at the forefront<br />
of our work.<br />
<strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong> started in 2007 as a small,<br />
family-owned business and has been growing<br />
steadily since. Chairman Saud Al <strong>Zakwani</strong>, with<br />
a wide range of previous experience from the<br />
construction and landscaping industries, started<br />
the company with the concept of bringing reliable<br />
and quality housing solutions to clients.<br />
In the decade of projects since then, <strong>Zakwani</strong><br />
<strong>United</strong> has developed into a company that<br />
provides general contracting, landscaping, MEP,<br />
maintenance, and specialized contracting services<br />
to clients. The company is driven by a team of<br />
educated, dedicated and skilled employees,<br />
striving to become a leading general contractor<br />
in the Sultanate.<br />
Our team of employees<br />
specialize in different fields and<br />
provide us the ability to offer<br />
our services to small, shortterm<br />
projects and to large,<br />
complex projects.<br />
<strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong> is adaptable and<br />
caters services to meet varying<br />
needs. We deal directly with<br />
clients and their subcontractors,<br />
provide recommendations<br />
where suitable and are flexible<br />
to changes.<br />
Recently, <strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong><br />
implemented more modern<br />
and effective ways of slab<br />
pouring, MEP scheduling and<br />
maintenance management.<br />
Our newest service is providing<br />
extended MEP maintenance<br />
services to buildings - an area<br />
we found to be lacking in the<br />
market.<br />
With each development plan<br />
we seek new ways to improve<br />
our capacity and expand our<br />
services.<br />
CLIENT<br />
SATISFACTION<br />
At <strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong>,<br />
client satisfaction is of<br />
the highest priority. Our<br />
engineering team sit<br />
with each client, carefully<br />
going through drawings to<br />
ensure no excessive costs<br />
are being incurred, and<br />
recommending options<br />
for more efficient design<br />
or build practices.

We get better with every<br />
project we complete.<br />
We’ve built a team<br />
who understand and<br />
communicate well<br />
together and that’s a<br />
major part of our success.<br />
MESSAGE<br />
FROM THE<br />
MANAGING<br />
DIRECTOR<br />
Over the last ten years, <strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong><br />
has grown immensely, learning from each<br />
challenge that it has faced. Starting from very<br />
small beginnings, we had a simple mission to<br />
build homes with value. That has remained an<br />
integral part of our strategy from the beginning<br />
and continues to guide us today.<br />
Since taking over the management of <strong>Zakwani</strong><br />
<strong>United</strong> in 2008 it has been a demanding, yet<br />
rewarding, journey to bring the company<br />
to where it is today. I am proud to say that<br />
through changing economic climates and a<br />
highly-competitive construction industry, the<br />
company has only become more resilient. It is<br />
undoubtedly the joint efforts of the whole team<br />
that has made this possible.<br />
‘Building homes with value’ remains<br />
our core goal and the foundation of<br />
our everyday work. We have been<br />
fortunate to be able to expand<br />
to include commercial buildings,<br />
landscaping projects, and full-time<br />
maintenance services, bringing on<br />
specialized employees and moving<br />
to bigger offices.<br />
This growth brought with it the<br />
development of standardised<br />
policies and procedures, a focus<br />
on safety, an investment in human<br />
resources, and a client-centric<br />
strategic approach.<br />
It is especially important to<br />
<strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong> that each client<br />
feels they’re receiving a personal<br />
service, and we invest much of<br />
our time in to the development of<br />
client relations.<br />
I’m happy to be able to say we<br />
get better with every project we<br />
complete. We’ve built a team<br />
who understand each other and<br />
communicate well together, and<br />
that’s a major part of our success.<br />
We’ve successfully taken on more<br />
challenging projects and are able<br />
to mobilise in remote locations.<br />
We have a clear vision to develop<br />
as a contractor who continuously<br />
strives to up-skill employees,<br />
provide clients with what they<br />
want, seek sustainable methods<br />
and adapt to industry changes. The<br />
aim is to build <strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong> to<br />
be a reliable and quality-assured<br />
provider; to be the client’s first<br />
choice and a leader within the<br />
industry.<br />
I look forward to watching the<br />
company develop, alongside the<br />
Sultanate of Oman, for as long as<br />
possible.

ZAKWANI UNITED PROJECTS<br />
Residential construction projects at <strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong> vary in size, location<br />
and build requirements. Over the years, we have continued to take on<br />
bigger and more complex projects that challenge our team and push us<br />
to build our capacity.<br />
Project Name:<br />
Sunrise Apartments<br />
Project Type:<br />
Residential Apartment Building<br />
Build Date:<br />
June 2014 - September 2015<br />
Location:<br />
Athaiba, Oman.<br />
This six-storey apartment building, located in a<br />
prime area of Athaiba, includes 24 apartments<br />
and 24 car park spaces.<br />
The Sunrise Apartments project posed an<br />
engineering challenge for <strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong>,<br />
demanding large build requirements within a<br />
tight, residential space. Surrounded on 3 sides<br />
by residential structures, there was the additional<br />
challenge of managing the storage of materials,<br />
movement of equipments, and the coordination<br />
of third-party services such as concreting.<br />
Accessible only by a small, residential road, it was<br />
necessary to obtain government permissions and<br />
permits for regular road-closure.<br />
Inside, each apartment includes 3 ensuite<br />
bedrooms and a 4th bathroom, an open-plan<br />
kitchen-living area, floor to ceiling glass doors<br />
providing panoramic views of the ocean and<br />
creating a sunlight flooded interior.<br />
Despite the challenges along the way, the project<br />
was successfully completed within 15 months<br />
with a show-apartment completed early and<br />
100% of apartments selling during build.

Project Name:<br />
Private Villa, Seeb<br />
Project Type:<br />
Residential Villa<br />
Date:<br />
July 2011 - June 2012<br />
Location:<br />
Seeb, Oman.<br />
This double-storey, 4 bedroom villa took 11<br />
months to complete after construction began.<br />
Incorporating a floating spiral-staircase and an<br />
open-plan living/kitchen area, the build required<br />
a team of engineers who made sure light exposure<br />
to the living areas was not compromised.<br />
The home includes 2 outhouses for domestic<br />
help, an outdoor kitchen, 2 open garden spaces<br />
and a concealed outdoor space for laundry and<br />
storage.<br />
OUR GUARANTEE<br />
Quality and timely delivery are the top priorities for <strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong>. We<br />
continuously monitor the market and seek new, innovative methods for<br />
improving and expanding our services and achieving our goals. Rarely in<br />
construction will you find a project without hurdles, and so we prepare<br />
by following a uniquely designed work schedule that allows for multiple<br />
activities to be ongoing at one time, with the aim of minimising the<br />
impact of unforeseen market delays. Our MEP team works closely with<br />
our civil team and our clients are provided with direct communication<br />
channels to both teams. We understand that plans change and new<br />
ideas come along and we do our utmost to cater to client’s requests.<br />
With every project, we adhere to our guiding principle of<br />
building homes with value.
