Khansaheb

What Khansaheb does

Khansaheb Group is a fourth-generation, family-owned diversified conglomerate headquartered in Dubai, UAE, founded in 1935 and operating across approximately eight business divisions with around 5,000 employees. Its core business is civil engineering and main-contractor construction work, evidenced by its role on marquee UAE projects such as Serenia Living and a client portfolio that includes Mall of the Emirates, hospitals, schools, residential developments, and retail assets. The company complements this with sticky recurring-revenue services through its Facilities Management division (managing 2,000+ properties) and Property Management division (managing 4,000+ properties), creating a closed lifecycle relationship from construction delivery into long-term building operations.

The group's Industries division manufactures and distributes HVAC products, enhanced by the 2017 acquisition of Spiralite and a 2023 distribution partnership with LG for branded HVAC products. Technology adoption is positioned as a differentiator: Khansaheb claims the first Digital Twin-based Facilities Management platform in the UAE, integrates Autodesk Construction Cloud and OpenSpace for project execution, deploys Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) on construction equipment, and partners with Society HRMS for an AI-powered HR platform. The Bespoke Contracting, Lifestyle, Aviation Training (with MENASA expansion), and Healthcare divisions represent newer growth verticals beyond the construction-and-property core.

The business model combines project-based civil engineering revenue (large, lumpy contracts), recurring facilities and property management fees (annuity-style revenue across 6,000+ properties), HVAC product distribution (channel-based revenue via the LG partnership), and emerging service revenue from training and lifestyle activities. The 2023 rebrand from Khansaheb Investment to Khansaheb Group signals a deliberate consolidation of these divisions under a unified corporate identity. As a privately held family business, no public revenue, funding, or detailed financial disclosures are available.
