Construction guard undergoes a shift

30 March 2026

 

The 2026 GCC Construction Contractor Ranking reflects two key trends. One is a growing trend that has been steadily rising across the region for more than a decade, while the other is a more recent development, which is now followed by the added uncertainty of a war with Iran.

The long-running trend is the rise of Chinese contractors. After years of Saudi-based dominance, Beijing’s China State Construction Engineering Corporation has claimed the top spot as the region’s most active contractor, with $10.399bn of work currently at the execution stage. This represents a notable rise for the firm, which was ranked second in 2025.

China State is not the only Chinese contractor in the top three. China Harbour Engineering Company ranks third, with $8.64bn of work under execution. Both firms are among China’s largest construction companies and have a longstanding presence in the region. In recent years, their success has encouraged other Chinese contractors to enter the market and win work. This trend is reflected in the national rankings, where other Chinese players feature prominently and may follow China State and China Harbour in rising to the top of the regional rankings.

Saudi reprioritisation

The other more recent trend affecting the 2026 ranking is the reprioritisation of projects in Saudi Arabia. The reassessment of the kingdom’s capital expenditure commitments led to a sharp decrease in contract awards during 2025. Combined with contractors completing work on projects secured immediately after the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021 and 2022, this has resulted in an overall decline in the value of work at the execution stage.”

This trend is reflected in China State’s figures. Although it moved up the rankings in 2026, the total value of work at the execution stage declined from $13.5bn to $10.4bn – a drop of about 30%.

The decline was even more pronounced for Saudi Arabia-based Nesma & Partners, which, unlike China State, does not have extensive operations in other GCC markets. Nesma moved to second place with $8.844bn of work under execution.

Despite the slowdown in activity in the kingdom, Saudi contractors continue to hold four of the top 10 positions, down from six in the 2025 ranking. El-Seif Engineering Contracting, Al-Bawani and Shibh Al-Jazira dropped out of the rankings, while Modern Building Leaders entered the top 10.

The other newcomer to the list is London-headquartered Innovo, which has rapidly become one of the most active building contractors in the UAE, with projects in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Bahrain

The Bahraini market remains dominated by large-scale social infrastructure and residential developments. In 2026, the ranking shows that contractors that have maintained a steady amount of work at the execution stage have risen up the ranking as other contractors complete projects and drop down the listing.

China Machinery Engineering Company maintains its position at the top of the ranking, with $689m of work under execution. Its primary focus continues to be the East Sitra housing scheme, a multi-phase project for the Ministry of Housing & Urban Planning that has involved the construction of thousands of housing units since 2019.

Nass Contracting has climbed back to second position with $639m. The local contractor was ranked fourth in 2025. Its portfolio is bolstered by significant infrastructure wins, including the Busaiteen Link scheme and the expansion of the RCSI Bahrain campus. Al-Hamad Building Contracting follows in third place with $610m, continuing its work on major Manama-based projects such as the Villamar residential complex.

In fourth position is the local Saleh Abdulla Kameshki & Sons, with $237m of work at the execution stage, followed by the local Kooheji Contractors in fifth place, with $230m of work at the execution stage. Kooheji was the seventh-ranked contractor in 2025.

Another local contractor that has risen up the ranking is Cebarco, which now sits in sixth place up from eighth, with $218m of work under execution. The local Almoayyed Contracting Group now sits in seventh place, down from sixth last year.

The other companies were not in the top 10 in 2025. They are CCT Constructor Group, Dar Al-Binaa Construction and Haji Hassan Group.

Kuwait

Turkiye’s Limak remains the top-ranked contractor in Kuwait, with $6.052bn of projects at the execution stage. The firm’s ranking reflects its work on the multibillion-dollar expansion of Kuwait International airport Terminal 2 and various road maintenance contracts for the Ministry of Public Works.

Chinese contractors have significantly increased their footprint in the country. China signed a series of agreements in 2023 that covered the delivery of some of Kuwait’s immediate development goals between 2024 and 2028. These agreements positioned Chinese companies to play a leading role in the Fourth Kuwait Master Plan 2040, and this is now shown in the contractor ranking for 2026.

China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) takes the second spot with $3.625bn, while China Gezhouba Group Construction holds third with $1.670bn.

In December last year, CCCC signed a $4bn agreement to develop the next phases of Kuwait’s Grand Mubarak Port on Boubyan Island. In March 2025, China Gezhouba won two contracts worth over $557m from the Public Authority for Housing Welfare for the South Saad Al-Abdullah residential project in Al-Jahra Governorate.

While Chinese contractors are playing a growing role, local players continue to manage substantial orderbooks, including Al-Ahmadiah with $1.071bn of work under execution, Khalid Ali Kharafi & Sons with $1.017bn of work, and Mohamed Abdulmohsin Al-Kharafi & Sons with $992m.

Oman

The Omani construction sector has changed at the top as the value of projects that contractors have at the execution stage has declined. Al-Adrak Trading & Contracting Company has moved into first place with $1.423bn of work. The top-ranked contractor in 2025 had $2.4bn of projects at the execution stage.

Al-Adrak was the eighth-ranked contractor in 2025, with $700m of projects at the execution stage.

The local contractor’s recent success has been anchored by securing work on Oman’s new generation of real estate projects. In May 2025, it secured a contract with Saudi developer Dar Global to build the villas and apartments at the Aida project.

Last year’s top-ranked contractor, Galfar Engineering & Contracting, is now in second place with $1.392bn. Galfar’s portfolio is headlined by the $1.5bn Hafeet Railway project connecting Oman and the UAE.

Sarooj Construction Company follows closely in third with $1.372bn, while India’s Larsen & Toubro maintains a strong presence in fourth with $906m. Overall, the market shows further softening in 2026, with contractors across the rest of the ranking holding less work than in 2025, when the 10th-ranked contractor, PowerChina, had $500m of projects under construction. In 2026, it has $250m.

Qatar

Qatar’s market is transitioning into a post-World Cup phase, focusing on social infrastructure and utility projects. Midmac Contracting Company has moved to the top spot with $2.082bn, nearly doubling the value of projects held by the second-ranked UCC Holding, which has $1.05bn.

Midmac’s return to the top 10 and the top of the ranking is largely due to it recently securing the $2bn Amiri flight facilities project at Hamad International airport, while UCC’s work remains centred on public-private partnership school schemes and road infrastructure for Ashghal.

The contracting joint venture of Qatari Diar and Saudi Binladin Group, QD-SBG Construction, is in third position with $843m. Its largest ongoing project is Al-Rafidain Mall for Abraaj Al-Mustaqbal RealEstate.

As the Qatari market transitions, four other contractors have moved into the top 10 in 2026. They are Badr Contracting & Trading with $534m of projects under execution, Al-Masaken Trading & Contracting Company with $400m, Marbu Contracting Company with $395m and Al-Mohannadi Group with $369m. As these contractors join the ranking, Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), Shelter Contracting, InfraRoad Trading & Contracting Company, Changda Construction and American International Contractors Incorporated have moved out of the top 10.

Saudi Arabia

Much is changing in Saudi construction, but one constant is Nesma & Partners’ position at the top of the kingdom’s contractor ranking. While its position remains the same, the value of construction work that Nesma has under execution has decreased significantly when compared to 2025. This year, the contractor tops the Saudi ranking with nearly $9bn of work; last year it led with nearly $14bn of work.

Nesma is not the only contractor that has experienced a reduction. Second-placed Almabani has $6.5bn of projects under construction this year compared with $8.5bn in 2025. Third-placed contractor Saudi Binladin Group has maintained a total of about $6.5bn over 2025 and 2026, and this has allowed the Jeddah-based contractor to jump up from seventh position last year. The company is working on several high-profile projects in the kingdom, including the world’s tallest tower in Jeddah, which will be over 1,000 metres tall.

All the other contractors in the top 10 have similar declines in the value of their projects under execution. The exception is the local Building Contracting Company, which joins the top 10 in 10th position with $3.2bn of work. The 10th-ranked contractor in 2025 was China Harbour Engineering Corporation with $5.9bn of work, a total that in 2025 would have meant it would be the fourth-ranked contractor in 2026.

The reduction in work volumes reflects the ongoing reprioritisation of projects in Saudi Arabia. Government officials have said that while some projects, such as The Line at Neom, have slowed down, other projects, such as those for Expo 2030 Riyadh and the Fifa World Cup in 2034, will be accelerated.

UAE

Contractors in the UAE are benefitting from high levels of spending across public infrastructure and real estate. Following on from 2025, Trojan General Contracting continues to lead the UAE ranking. In 2026, it has $7.59bn of projects under execution, up slightly from the $7.2bn recorded in 2025. The Abu Dhabi-based contractor has work on public infrastructure schemes for Abu Dhabi-based government agencies, and this base is supplemented by work on real estate projects across the UAE.

China State Construction is in second position with $5.618bn under execution. The Beijing-based contractor has risen up the rankings from seventh position last year when it had $4bn of work under execution thanks to a series of deals for the construction of real estate and roads.

In third position is London-headquartered Innovo with $5.443bn of work at the execution stage. Innovo is working on major real estate developments in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and has quickly grown in recent years to become one of the key players in the UAE’s construction sector.

Sobha Constructions, the construction arm of property developer Sobha, is in fourth position with just over $5bn of work under execution. It is the main contractor for Sobha’s projects, which include the $763m Sobha Reserve and the $400m Skyvue Towers at Sobha Hartland 2.

The local Dutco, with $4.43bn of work under execution, has joined the top 10 in fifth position. The contractor has picked up a wide range of work on Dubai real estate projects over the past two years. Three other contractors in the ranking, Ginco, Unec and Arabian Construction Company, also work extensively on real estate projects in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The local Alec is active in the real estate sector too. Additionally, it is working on a large data centre project in Abu Dhabi as well as the Wynn resort in Ras Al-Khaimah.

  • Egypt prepares to tender five water treatment plants

    25 May 2026

    Egypt is preparing to tender five seawater desalination and industrial wastewater treatment plants under its public-private partnership (PPP) programme.

    The projects will be offered to local and international investors through competitive PPP tenders, Atter Hannoura, head of the PPP unit at the Finance Ministry, has told a local Arabic news channel.

    The first of these involves a plant in the Suez Canal Economic Zone, which will be launched “immediately after the Eid Al-Adha holiday”, Hannoura said.

    In January 2025, MEED exclusively reported that SCZone Istithmar had invited interested firms to prequalify to bid for a contract to develop a seawater desalination plant in the Suez Canal Economic Zone.

    SCZOne Istithmar is wholly owned by the General Authority for Suez Canal Economic Zone.

    The Finance Ministry’s PPP Central Unit, along with the European Bank for Reconstruction & Development, is supporting SCZone Isthithmar in the project’s tender proceedings.

    The opportunity entails a long-term water-purchase agreement to design, finance, build, operate, maintain and transfer the plant’s ownership.

    It was previously reported that this planned seawater desalination plant will have a capacity of 250,000 cubic metres a day (cm/d). 

    Hannoura added that the government is in negotiations with several companies, including Saudi Arabia-based Acwa, regarding large-scale desalination projects.

    Additionally, the government plans to tender four industrial wastewater treatment plants, with the first two projects expected to be launched “within 45 days”.

    One of these will be located in the Amreya industrial area in Alexandria, while the other will be in the Abu Rawash area in Giza, Hannoura said. Details of the other projects were not disclosed.

    Alexandria wastewater treatment plant

    The Authority for Potable Water and Wastewater is planning to build a wastewater treatment plant in eastern Alexandria.

    The $150m facility will have a water treatment capacity of 300,000 cm/d.

    In June 2025, Egypt’s government approved a financing and grant agreement for the project, with financing from the French Development Agency amounting to €68m and a grant of €2m.

    Expression of interest documents were previously submitted in September 2024.

    The main contract for this plant had been expected to be released in June.

    Wastewater upgrades

    Separately, the Construction Authority for Potable Water & Wastewater retendered the phase four expansion of the Abu Rawash wastewater treatment plant in Giza Governorate in January.

    The $157m scheme will be developed under a design, build, operate and maintain contract.

    The plant will have a treatment capacity of 400,000 cm/d, rising to peak flows of 520,000 cm/d. The authority issued the initial main contract tender last August. 

    It is unconfirmed whether this has moved beyond the bidding stage.

    Egypt currently produces between 1.5 million cm/d and 2 million cm/d of desalinated water. The country aims to increase capacity to between 8 million cm/d and 9 million cm/d by 2050.

    In March, Egypt’s cabinet approved a $1.2m grant agreement with the European Investment Bank to support wastewater treatment upgrades in Alexandria and Damietta.

    Part of the funding will support plans to expand the Hanovil wastewater treatment plant in Alexandria Governorate.

    The project will add 50,000 cm/d of treatment capacity in two phases within the plant’s existing footprint. Once completed, the facility will reach a total capacity of 100,000 cm/d.

    The grant will also support expansion works at the Kafr El-Battikh wastewater treatment plant in Damietta Governorate.

    The facility currently receives more than 7,000 cm/d of wastewater, while its treatment capacity is 3,000 cm/d.

  • Momentum builds for Syrian projects

    25 May 2026

     

    Support from the US, as well as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, has increased expectations about the development of infrastructure projects in Syria.

    On 22 May, the US published guides to investing in Syria, funded by the US Department of State, that pointed investors towards 590 planned projects in the country.

    The permanent removal of US sanctions in December last year, combined with fallout from the closure and disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, has boosted interest in planned projects in the country.

    Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has been disrupted since the US and Israel attacked Iran on 28 February.

    The route normally transports about 11 million barrels a day of oil and around 20% of the world’s liquefied natural gas, as well as a range of other key materials and consumer goods.

    The disruption to shipping through the strait has left nations in the Middle East scrambling to find new routes for imports and exports – and Syria plays a role in many of these new plans.

    This has bolstered the country’s plans to become a regional trade hub.

    Energy corridors

    Already, Iraq is moving a large volume of oil by truck across the country to export it from Syria’s Mediterranean ports, such as Latakia or Tartous.

    In April, Iraq’s state-owned oil marketing company, Somo, said it had awarded contracts to supply about 650,000 metric tonnes of fuel oil per month for overland trucking across Syria.

    On top of this, Iraq is currently looking into reestablishing a pipeline route that transported oil from Kirkuk to the port of Baniyas in Syria.

    The pipeline originally went into operation in April 1952.

    During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the pipeline was damaged by US air strikes and has remained out of operation since then.

    There have been repeated attempts to either refurbish the existing pipeline or build a new one along the same route, but none has been successful.

    In December 2007, Syria and Iraq agreed to rehabilitate the pipeline. The pipeline was to be reconstructed by Stroytransgaz, a subsidiary of Russia’s Gazprom.

    However, Stroytransgaz failed to start the rehabilitation, and the contract was nullified in April 2009.

    The disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has added a new urgency to the project to reestablish pipeline flows from Iraq to Baniyas.

    Syria could also play a role in plans for a pipeline to transport gas from Qatar to Europe via Syria and Turkiye.

    The country could additionally form part of plans to rehabilitate and expand the Arab Gas Pipeline.

    The pipeline connects Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, although the Lebanese section is not currently operational.

    Trade routes

    Beyond oil and gas, Syria is emerging as a key part of other plans for new trade routes.

    Earlier this month, Syria’s Transport Minister Yarub Badr said the country was seeking to restore its role as a regional transit corridor linking Europe and the Gulf by reviving cross-border trucking and rehabilitating railway connections with neighbouring countries.

    He said the overland corridor between the Turkish and Jordanian borders handled between 100,000 and 115,000 trucks annually in both directions before 2011. Freight rail services also operated between Tartous port and Iraq’s Umm Qasr port via Baghdad in 2009, he added.

    He said Syria was coordinating with Turkiye, Jordan and Saudi Arabia to simplify customs and border-crossing procedures and facilitate freight movement.

    Railway rehabilitation is expected to take longer due to extensive infrastructure damage and the suspension of cross-border rail links over the past decade.

    Badr said Syria is working with the World Bank to secure grants ranging between $65m and $200m to support railway rehabilitation and restore Syria’s role as a regional transit route linking Turkiye, Syria, Jordan and Iraq.

    Earlier this month, Syria’s state-owned railway company, the General Establishment for Syrian Railways, and the operator of Syria’s Latakia International Container Terminal signed a memorandum of understanding to coordinate container traffic between the Mediterranean port of Latakia and inland freight hubs.

    The framework covers feasibility studies for moving containers by rail from Latakia to dry ports in Adra, Hasiya and Aleppo.

    The feasibility studies are expected to take four months to complete.

    Tartous port

    Also this month, executives from the UAE’s DP World and Syria’s General Authority for Borders and Customs (GABC) met to discuss accelerating the development of Syria’s Port of Tartous.

    Essa Kazim, chairman of DP World, met with Qutaiba Ahmed Badawi, chairman of GABC, to discuss opportunities to enhance infrastructure and logistics efficiency, ensuring the Port of Tartous is well-equipped to handle the anticipated rise in trade and cargo volume.

    DP World’s plans to develop the Port of Tartous form part of a 30-year concession agreement signed in July 2025 with the Syrian government.

    Under the agreement, DP World committed to invest $800m to upgrade infrastructure, expand capacity, and introduce modern cargo-handling and advanced digital systems.

    DP World has said that, by fast-tracking the development of the Port of Tartous, it aims to boost its operational efficiency and capacity to handle diverse cargo types, including general cargo, containers, breakbulk and roll-on/roll-off traffic.

    Rizwan Soomar, DP World’s chief executive and managing director for Central Asia, the Levant and Egypt, said: “The Port of Tartous development marks a defining moment in Syria’s journey of economic recovery and modernisation of its trade infrastructure. We are proud to contribute to this vital phase of growth.”

    Located on Syria’s Mediterranean coast, the Port of Tartus is the country’s second-largest port and a key maritime gateway to trade routes across Europe, the Levant and North Africa.

    Beyond the port itself, DP World is exploring other opportunities to develop infrastructure in Syria with local stakeholders. These include logistics zones, inland freight hubs and transit corridors.

    US interest

    US-based companies are also showing significant interest in participating in new projects in the country.

    On 19 May, a delegation from the Houston-headquartered engineering company KBR travelled to Damascus to discuss road networks and infrastructure projects in Syria.

    During one meeting, Syria’s transport minister outlined strategic projects currently underway, including north-south and east-west corridor projects, the Damascus-Aleppo highway and railway initiatives.

    Badr said that companies were needed to update economic and technical studies for some projects.

    While Syria and the US both have bold ambitions to expand Syria into a regional trade and logistics hub, the poor state of the country’s infrastructure is likely to be a key challenge.

    It is likely that billions of dollars will need to be invested to rehabilitate the country so that its capacity to transport goods returns to levels seen prior to the civil war that began in March 2011.

  • Alec confirms Sphere Abu Dhabi contract award

    25 May 2026

    Alec Holdings has confirmed that its subsidiary Alec Engineering & Contracting has received a letter of award for the construction contract for the $1.7bn Sphere Abu Dhabi project.

    MEED had previously reported that Alec was the selected contractor and had been working on the project during the pre-construction phase. The construction is due to be completed in the third quarter of the financial year 2029.

    Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture & Tourism (DCT Abu Dhabi) and US-based Sphere Entertainment announced earlier in May that they have selected Yas Island as the location for the project.

    The venue will be built on a plot between Yas Mall and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, close to Yas Island’s theme parks and attractions. The project will be the first Sphere venue outside the US. It is expected to echo the scale of Sphere Las Vegas, with a capacity of up to 20,000 depending on configuration.

    DCT and Sphere Entertainment finalised an agreement last year for the construction, development and operation of the Sphere entertainment venue in Abu Dhabi. According to the agreement, Sphere Entertainment granted DCT the exclusive rights to build and operate the Sphere Abu Dhabi entertainment venue.

  • Consultant wins Jeddah metro design

    22 May 2026

     

    French engineering firm Egis has been appointed to undertake the preliminary design consultancy for the Jeddah Metro Blue Line project.

    The project client, Jeddah Development Authority, issued the tender in early January, when MEED exclusively reported that Saudi Arabia had restarted plans to build the Jeddah Metro.

    Engineering consulting firms submitted bids in April, as MEED reported.

    The Blue Line will run from King Abdulaziz International airport and connect to the Haramain high-speed railway station.

    The line will be 35 kilometres (km) long and will include 15 stations.

    Project history

    Plans for the Jeddah Metro were first publicly floated in the early 2010s and were formally packaged into a wider Jeddah public transport programme around 2013-14.

    In 2014, French engineering firm Systra was appointed to complete preliminary engineering for the Jeddah Metro, as MEED reported at the time.

    In the same year, US-based engineering firm Aecom was awarded a SR276m ($74m) contract to provide pre-programme management consultancy services.

    Under its 18-month contract, Aecom was expected to provide staff to support preliminary planning and design work for various phases of the metro project.

    This was followed by the appointment of UK-based architectural firm Foster + Partners in 2015 to design the metro stations.

    The project then stalled as government spending priorities were reset and major capital programmes were reviewed following the fall in oil prices in 2015, with the metro’s scope, cost and delivery model coming under reassessment.

    Early concept designs envisaged a multi-line network integrated with buses and, later, other city-wide mobility upgrades.

    Route details

    According to Jeddah Transport Company’s website, the scheme comprises 81 stations and 197 trains serving more than 161km. The network will have four lines:

    • Orange Line: a 44.8km line running along Al-Madinah Road and Old Makkah Road, with 29 stops including one at Obhur Bridge
    • Blue Line: a 35km line running from King Abdulaziz International airport to the Haramain high-speed railway station, with 15 stations
    • Green Line: a 17km line running through the city centre, from the downtown area to the Haramain railway station, with nine stops
    • Red Line: A 59.7km line running from King Abdullah Stadium north to Old Makkah Street through King Abdulaziz Road and King Abdullah Road, with 25 stops

  • Expo Riyadh tenders Saudi Arabia pavilion

    22 May 2026

     

    Expo 2030 Riyadh Company (ERC), tasked with delivering the Expo 2030 Riyadh venue, has tendered a contract to build the Saudi Arabia pavilion at the site.

    The tender was issued on 19 May, with a bid submission deadline of 26 August.

    The pavilion is a major asset located within the KSA District on the eastern side of the Expo 2030 Riyadh masterplan, within the Loop of Nations district.

    The tendering of the pavilion structure follows swift progress on the site’s infrastructure development works.

    In April, ERC awarded two contracts for the next phase of infrastructure works at the site to local firm Al-Yamama Company.

    The scope covers the construction of road networks and infrastructure for water, sewage, electricity, telecommunications and electric vehicle charging.

    These awards followed ERC’s January award of an estimated SR1bn ($267m) contract for initial infrastructure works at the site to local firm Nesma & Partners. That scope covers about 50 kilometres of integrated infrastructure networks, including internal roads and essential utilities such as water, sewage, electrical and communication systems, and electric vehicle charging stations.

    The overall infrastructure works – covering the construction of main utilities and civil works at Expo 2030 Riyadh – are split into three packages:

    • Lot 1 covers the main utilities corridor
    • Lot 2 includes the northern cluster of the nature corridor
    • Lot 3 comprises the southern cluster of the nature corridor 

    The masterplan encompasses an area of 6 square kilometres, making it one of the largest sites designated for a World Expo event. Situated to the north of the Saudi capital, the site will be located near the future King Salman International airport, and will provide direct access to various landmarks within Riyadh.

    The Public Investment Fund (PIF), Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, launched ERC – a wholly owned subsidiary – in June last year to build and operate facilities for Expo 2030.

    MEED’s April 2026 report on Saudi Arabia includes:

    > COMMENT: Risk accelerates Saudi spending shift
    > GVT &: ECONOMY: Riyadh navigates a changed landscape
    > BANKING: Testing times for Saudi banks
    > UPSTREAM: Offshore oil and gas projects to dominate Aramco capex in 2026
    > DOWNSTREAM: Saudi downstream projects market enters lean period
    > POWER: Wind power gathers pace in Saudi Arabia
    > WATER: Sharakat plan signals next phase of Saudi water expansion
    > CONSTRUCTION: Saudi construction enters a period of strategic readjustment
    > TRANSPORT: Rail expansion powers Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure push
