Oman Society of Contractors was established in 2007 by a group of distinguished members of the society intending on raising standards within the Contracting industry and regulating the contracting sector.
Since that time the organization has grown to become a pre-eminent industry voice with members universally renowned for their reliability, skills and professionalism.
A broad based organization, Oman Society of Contractors serve the needs of the entire industry, from residential to commercial and engineering businesses, principle contractors to subcontractors, manufacturers and suppliers.
The Society continually assists in developing the skills of the members by providing access to a wide range of services, an impressive degree of recognition, as well as representation to government and industry. Oman Society of Contractors also serves the public of the Sultanate of Oman by fostering best practice work standards and acting as an independent governing and regulating body.
Ever since Oman Society of Contractors established in 2007, it aims to improve the construction industry and contribute to the national economy. Soon after I became the CEO in May 2009, we started to build a new strategy that would meet the expectations of all members and go in harmony with the government policies.
Our goals are straight forward. We believe in a simple philosophy: shared culture and cohesive work environment create healthy construction industry. Therefore, we focus on satisfying our members by understanding their needs and building long lasting relationships. By doing so, a golden reputation and ongoing global and local growth would be the desired consequences for the society and the members as well.
I would like to thank all parties who contributed in the implementation of our new strategy and make our objectives into reality.
