Established in 2007, Build Well currently serves in seven countries across three continents serving hundreds of clients in delivering world-class projects.
Build Well, a construction and building materials company that specialises in the supply and installation of fire-rated steel doors, architectural hardware (ironmongery), and various high-quality building materials for the construction industry, is growing its footprint across the Middle East and the world with eight offices that will help it to support the US$3.9 trillion (Dh14.3 trillion) construction projects industry in the Middle East.
Construction project market continues to grow in the Middle East, driven by the development activities in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, Qatar and Egypt – that represent the largest construction markets in the Middle East. As of the first quarter of 2024, the construction project pipeline value in the UAE reached US$590 billion (Dh2.16 trillion), or 15 percent of the regional total, according to a recent report by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL).
Residential projects are projected to account for US$125 billion (21%), while mixed-use projects represent US$232 billion (39%). In 2023, the number of awarded projects in the UAE reached US$87 billion compared to US$31 billion in 2022, demonstrating significant progress in the nation’s economic diversification and investment, it said.
According to the Middle East Economic Digest (MEED), the GCC alone has an astonishing projects pipeline in excess of US$2.7 trillion, with Saudi Arabia comprising US$1.5 trillion of this total.
Build Well, that provides essential safety products for construction projects, ensuring compliance with industry standards and focusing on durability and safety, currently has bases in Lebanon and Kuwait, while it expanded its regional footprint with offices in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE as well as its global offices in the United Kingdom and the United States.
“As the construction services business grows due to increased demand driven by infrastructure, housing and real estate sectors, Build Well has also expanded its operation in the GCC with multiple offices to cater to growing needs of high-quality, durable, cost-effective, green and sustainable products in the Middle East region,” Raji Maalouf, Chief Executive Officer of Build Well Co., says.
“As a construction-focussed business, we bring the latest environmentally-friendly innovative and sustainable building materials, products and technology that enhances the life cycle of the buildings and reduces carbon footprint.

Its mission is to play a key role in advancing construction safety and architectural solutions across the region by delivering certified and durable products.”
