Contrack Watts, Inc.

What Contrack Watts, Inc. does

Contrack Watts, Inc. is a global construction contractor founded in 1985 in Washington, DC and Cairo, Egypt, and now headquartered in McLean, Virginia. The company delivers turn-key construction services spanning general contracting, construction management, and design-build for public and private clients, with a portfolio that includes heavy civil projects, waterfront reconstruction, airfield construction, military facilities, healthcare buildings, data centers, fueling facilities, and residential developments. Core technical capabilities include self-perform construction across all regional territories, accelerated bridge construction techniques (notably the first Self-Propelled Modular Transport bridge installation in the Middle East), and delivery of LEED-certified buildings at Platinum, Gold, and Silver levels.

The company's customer base is anchored by U.S. federal military agencies—particularly the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Air Force—alongside U.S. civilian agencies (National Park Service) and select commercial clients such as Qatar Petroleum and Emaar Misr. Revenue is generated through project-based construction contracts awarded via competitive federal procurement, with multi-year horizons and pricing determined per project rather than through published rate cards. Operations span thirteen offices across the United States (Virginia, Hawaii, Washington, Guam), the Middle East (Egypt, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar), and Asia Pacific (Japan), supported by 10,000+ employees and a network of joint ventures (Guam MACC Builders, Watts-Weitz, Watts-Delhur) that combine bonding capacity and small-business credit to access larger set-aside contracts. Contrack Watts operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Orascom Construction Industries and has held ENR Top International Contractor status for ten consecutive years.
