Al-Fowriya Trading and Contracting WLL is a civil engineering contracting and trading company which has successfully met all the needs of its customers.

The company’s vision is to position itself among the best at the medium rung of the industry. Al-Fowriya has been successfully accomplished through a decade and a half long dedicated and customer friendly service in the field of civil engineering construction and maintenance.
The company aims to achieve further heights through customer satisfaction, wealth creation and employee satisfaction. Businesses operate as a part and parcel of the time and environment they are in, says Al-Fowriya.
They cannot de-link themselves from the pervading causes and effects across the socio-economic spectrum. Almost a decade beginning 1990, the construction industry in Qatar suffered stagnancy and retrogression.
It was constrained by cash crunch, project delays, payment problems and other resultant hurdles. Businesses reeling under pressure struggled for survival.
These were hard times.
But the vision and guidance of Al-Fowriya’s top management helped the organisation on to a safer sail and kept it on course.
During this period, Al-Fowriya offered services for Qatar Petroleum, Qatar Steel Company, Qatar Armed Forces, Ministry of Interior, MES Indian School etc, creating new or additional facilities for them.
At the same time Al-Fowriya had been making multi-storey residential and commercial buildings for individual clients too, all without sacrificing quality or compromise on specifications.
Towards the end of the 20th century, Al-Fowriya witnessed significant shifts in business environment globally, ushering in revolutionary changes in systems and practices.
These changes brought about a mix of challenges and opportunities.
The wind of change became irresistible and promising with the spread of Information Technology.
At the same time the influence of globalisation swept the entire floor of human life and left it with both negative and positive impacts.
The advent of Internet, equated to a second Industrial Revolution, made time and distance irrelevant in respect of data collection and delivery.
These changes held out a time of hope for new learning and a time of desperation for unlearning the obsolete. Managing through such a changing time was difficult.
It was a time that uprooted certain conventional wisdom and introduced new thoughts, ideas and practices.
Changing with the times was the only way to remain afloat. In business, such changes had been more pronounced and emphatic as a result of globalisation and with the infinite scope of Internet, says Al-Fowriya.
At a time when geographical divisions became irrelevant for the movement of men, materials and ideas, businesses to remain even local needed global perception. As new technologies flooded the markets with new products and innovative applications, businesses were facing challenges locally and from abroad at the same time.
Challenges apart, they introduced opportunities also for reinventing or reengineering the existing products and services.
There were no options other than do-or-die. Businesses that could read the writings on the wall got themselves geared for the change.
They leveraged for upswing and cared to remain profitably all through.
Al-Fowriya remained open towards changes and the resultant benefits. This attitude helped it grab the opportunity to change the tack and be with the progressing caravan.
Al-Fowriya is proud of being with one of the fastest economies in the region that nurtures trade and commerce to its best.
The boom in the real estate sector has also boosted the company’s efforts to aspire for higher achievements.
Now, its qualified and experienced professionals, supported by over 500 workmen, paraphernalia of machinery and equipment, are concentrating on major projects. These include the ongoing multi-million prestigious project at Mesaieed Industrial City – construction of a catalyst manufacturing plant for our client, Sud-chemie, Qatar.WLL
Businesses may have different objectives to achieve. But profitability is the major concern of any commercial activity.
No business can survive or prosper without profit. Profit is related to time and speed with efficient and optimal utilisation of scarce resources.
This is especially true in the case of contracts in construction sector where delays and wastes will lead to losses. It may also invite client’s displeasure, invoking penalty clauses on delays.
This may not only sour client-contractor relations but also affect the image and standing of the contractor.
Al-Fowriya is aware of all these to reflect in its strategies in relation to project expectations.
The company, therefore, gived priority in completing its project ahead of time. The success of any business enterprise rests with the work and attitude of its employees.
So the human factor is always relevant and critical in almost all spheres of business endeavour.
Al-Fowriya formulates or reshapes its vision, mission and strategies in recognition of this factor only.
The company provides relevant training to its staff and workmen to upgrade their skills, efficiency and knowledge at their work.
Al-Fowriya thinks that this is also critical in maintaining the productivity and to keep up with time-frame of each project.
This is also an enabling factor in changing with the changes of the time. 
The company’s relations with Qatar Petroleum have been fruitful on account of the several projects it has done for QP, including those at Halul Island.
These ongoing projects also relate the company to Ras Laffan Industrial City through which it passes its materials and equipment to Halul.
Within a short span of time, RLC has become the nerve centre of Qatar’s LNG/GTL production, distribution and related services with world-class infrastructure, attracting global presence and competence.
The speed and comprehension reflected in the conception, construction and facilitation of RLC as a leading global business hub has been amazingly noteworthy, says Al-Fowriya.
