History

Khansaheb Civil Engineering was established in 1935 by its founder Mr. Khansaheb Hussain Bin Hassan Amad becoming the first contracting company in what was then called the Trucial States.  We completed projects across the country in very difficult conditions.  Many of our early projects helped shape the Emirates as you see it today, including major road, bridge and port projects.
