Hammar Contracting & Development entered the Syrian market in 2025, drawing on the experience and relationships its founders built in international real estate markets. From the outset, the company set a clear objective: to give project owners in Syria a contractor that assumes full responsibility for the project, from receipt of the approved engineering drawings to delivery of the completed works.

The company relies on execution resources it owns, including in-house workshops for concrete formwork, steelwork, tiling and aluminium, together with its own labour and heavy equipment. It does not depend on third parties for its core works; where specialist firms are engaged, this is done under documented contracts.

As Syria rebuilds, the company positions itself as a construction partner that understands each project from the owner's perspective: one that selects building and finishing materials with care, executes to the approved engineering drawings, complies with quality standards and municipal permit conditions, and delivers on schedule under formal contracts.

Vision

To be the preferred contractor of the leading real estate developers operating in Syrian cities, and the first name they recommend to deliver their projects with international expertise.

Mission

To turn every engineering drawing into a completed project, at the agreed quality and within a defined schedule, through a specialist team and in-house workshops overseeing every phase of execution.
