Our History
During his last years of university the
founder and co-owner of El Dawlia Contracting, Eng. Osama Abu
Sheasha, decided to turn a young engineer's dream of moving to the
private sector into a reality. Starting at a young age, his
entrepreneurial spirit and drive to succeed shaped El Dawlia into
one of the most well-known contracting companies in Egypt.
Founded in 1989, El Dawlia was built from the ground up as a
family business and with the support of the family and the team
around them, quickly grew in size. With a strong focus from the
early years on quality, timely delivery and financially reasonable
developments, El Dawlia's portfolio of distinguished clients also
grew and is a testament to the quality and calibre of the
projects.
With the rapid success of El Dawlia, the next target was to grow
the organization in size and bring in more people into the El
Dawlia family. With a desire and drive to give back to the
community that gave it so much, El Dawlia continued to provide
large scale projects and job opportunities for hundreds of
employees.
The continued growth of El Dawlia faced a significant challenge
with the unexpected market crash that occurred in Egypt in the year
2003. During this crisis, many businesses suffered severely and
could not continue to function as the market quickly crumbled. A
decision was taken during this time by El Dawlia to ride out the
storm and trust the El Dawlia family. During this period, the team
was expanded and even more effort was put into projects to continue
to deliver excellence in the worst conditions. El Dawlia succeeded
in delivering several large projects during this period and shortly
after attained the prestigious classification of "First Class
Contractor", quickly following it up with its certification as an
ISO 90001 certified organization.
A similar market crisis occurred in the year 2011, with the
Egyptian market suffering badly after political and economic
turmoil in Egypt's time period during the "Arab Spring". Taking a
leaf out of their own book, El Dawlia chose to stick to its firm
belief in its employees and that the strong values instilled in the
organization will continue to deliver to the highest standards.
Unfazed, El Dawlia grew even during these troubling times and is
now considered one of the strongest first class contracting
organizations in Egypt.
With the continued goal of growing the organization and bringing
more opportunities to the Egyptian community, El Dawlia is
committed to being a driving force for successful and world class
developments in Egypt.
