FAOCON

What FAOCON does

FAOCON Nigeria Limited is a privately held engineering, construction, and consultancy firm headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, founded in 2005 and operating across 11–50 employees. The company provides integrated infrastructure services spanning the full project lifecycle — from planning, environment studies, feasibility analysis, and traffic impact assessments through to design, construction supervision, and installation/maintenance of physical assets including roads, bridges, buildings, traffic systems, and oil and gas facilities. Its technology stack is described as standard engineering tools and conventional civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering methodologies, with no proprietary software platforms aside from a basic client portal (client.faocon.com.ng) for project access.

The firm is organized into two core service divisions — Consulting Services (Civil/Structures/Building Engineering, Mechanical & Electrical including Agro-Industrial, Planning & Environment, Highway/Traffic/Transport Engineering, and Management Support) and Construction Services (Roads & Bridges, Building & Structures, Installation & Maintenance, Traffic & Safety, Oil & Gas Facilities, and Procurement). FAOCON maintains an ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System (established 2019) and operates from three Nigerian offices in Lagos, Ibadan, and Port Harcourt.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees and project-based construction contracts secured via competitive bidding and direct engagement with government ministries, transport authorities (e.g., LAMATA), and private-sector clients including infrastructure operators, concessionaires, and developers. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per project scope, with multi-year contract cadences and no publicly disclosed rate cards or tiers. Customer segments are split between government agencies (federal, state, local) and private-sector developers across transport infrastructure, oil & gas, agriculture/agro-industrial, and urban development verticals. Geographic reach extends across multiple Nigerian states and into the West African subregion via participation in the Abidjan–Lagos Highway corridor project.
