<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 />

company that focuses on client satisfaction, timely delivery and highquality<br />

services.<br />

<strong>Zakwani</strong> <strong>United</strong> operates by the simple methodology of ‘building homes<br />

with value.’. Our approach continues to centre around 3 integral pillars:<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.
