Construction Companies and Equipment For Hire in Qatar

The construction sector is one of the biggest areas of growth in Qatar, and the country’s success in bidding for the FIFA World Cup in 2022 is only going to increase construction activity.

Big projects such as stadiums and airports have been planned, and the country is going to see a boom in its economy. Also, the hydrocarbons sector (diversification from an oil-based economy) is expected to trigger further need for construction and infrastructure development.

The government is also said to have channelized a big part of its budget towards infrastructure till 2016, for various projects such as roads, a seaport and a corridor for transport. New metro/rail projects are on the anvil as well. The country’s economy was strong even in the wake of the recession experienced worldwide.

Rental firms on a high

Thanks to this boom, the country is home to a lot of foreign companies looking to expand their market here, apart from many construction companies in Qatar as well. The boom in construction has also guaranteed growth for companies that offer equipment on hire. Rental companies that offer tools, both small and heavy for a range of sectors including energy, industry and construction are mushrooming in the country, and are positioned for big-time growth.

• The tools/equipment typically offered by rental firms in Qatar include excavators, trenchers, loaders, tankers, tele-handlers, attachments, forklifts, and trailers, in many brands. Clients can hire any of these tools for varying duration, depending on the kind of projects.
• While the rentals market has seen a huge demand for earth-movers over the recent past, now, the demand is for equipment that will be used in construction of buildings/towers. Also, there is a lot of demand for equipment required in tunneling, because of Metro/rail projects being planned for the country.

Add-on services

Many rental firms offer free maintenance, on-site supervision, and skilled operators, among others. Rental firms in Qatar also offer insurance and registration for equipment that is hired. A value-added service would be maintenance and repair of equipment, and servicing/maintenance of buildings (painting, electrical work and plumbing services are also on offer).

Rent and don’t worry about investment

Hiring equipment eliminates many logistics-related tangles, and lets a company execute projects in a stress-free manner. Renting ensures that you focus only on the project and not on the means used. Using the services of a rental firm will save finances — now you can use the same funds for investing in the core aspects of your business.
