In Oman’s booming construction sector, finding a partner that is innovative and capable of addressing multifaceted needs is a rarity. As projects undergo constant evolution in complexity and scale, the industry increasingly seeks partners with the agility to adapt to trends, prioritize safety and quality, and actively contribute to national development.

Al Tasnim Group, a trailblazer in the construction industry, embodies a commitment to quality and safety across the rapidly evolving construction landscape in Oman. The 100 percent Omani owned company offers a wide range of services, including civil, mechanical, and electrical construction, along with cement products, steel, aluminium, and glass manufacturing. Its portfolio also comprises turnkey projects in landscaping and irrigation.

As the largest private employer in the country, the Al Tasnim Group establishes itself as a key contributor to the nation’s advancement. One of Oman’s most esteemed full-service construction groups, it has been instrumental in the development of the nation’s most iconic landmarks. Notable among them are the Al Ameen Mosque in Muscat, National Bank of Oman Headquarters, Royal Opera House in Muscat, and Muscat International Airport.

“With a legacy spanning four decades, we have weathered the shifts in the construction domain and have consistently set new benchmarks for excellence,” says Mohit Khimji, CEO and Director - Group Divisions at Al Tasnim Group.

Key to the company’s approach to construction excellence is backward integration, a type of vertical integration where businesses acquire or merge with raw materials and parts suppliers in their supply chain. This enables Al Tasnim Group to access a substantial pool of construction resources and assemble a proficient and skilled workforce with expertise in diverse areas.

This strategic advantage fortifies the company’s ability to undertake diverse projects and plays a pivotal role in elevating safety and quality standards. It also adds substantial value for clients across a broad spectrum of construction projects, benefiting the entire project ecosystem.

In addition to its core strategies, Al Tasnim Group emphasizes digitalization to overcome productivity challenges and align with the ever-evolving demands of the construction industry.

The company has made significant investments in digital platforms to enhance its operational efficiency, including managing workforce performance and productivity on its construction sites. Systems have been custom-developed to improve health and safety on site. In tandem with these endeavors, Al Tasnim Group has implemented a comprehensive, Integrated Logistics Management System (iLMS), along with fuel, tire, and vehicle management systems.

Through iLMS, the company operates a control center overseeing its fleet of 6,000 vehicles. It equips each fleet operator with tablets and smartphones to facilitate seamless trip management and vehicle checks. This enables the operators to evaluate drivers’ performance through trip scorecards and reinforce positive behavior pertaining to safety, driving quality, and overall productivity.

The implementation of the iLMS system, a pioneering initiative in Oman, has led to a noteworthy reduction in vehicle incidents, underscoring its effectiveness in enhancing overall safety.

In addition to its commitment to safety, Al Tasnim Group collaborates with SMEs, providing training programs to boost their business management skills. The company aims to inspire SMEs to take on additional responsibilities and grow collaboratively, fostering mutual development and contributing to the nation’s progress.
