DETAC

What DETAC does

DETAC is a privately held Egyptian general contractor founded in 1997 and headquartered in Agouza, Cairo. The company delivers turnkey construction projects spanning four verticals — industrial, commercial, residential, and infrastructure — for property owners, real estate developers, and government entities across Egypt. Its core offering consolidates nine in-house capabilities (civil works, MEP, structural steel, hardscape and landscape, finishing works, infrastructure, project management, and specialized works such as waterproofing and post-tension systems) into a single-contractor delivery model, eliminating the need for multiple subcontractors on a project.

The company generates revenue primarily through project-based contracting on fixed-price or cost-plus arrangements, with revenue recognized on completed projects across its core enterprise contracting business. In May 2026, DETAC extended into the consumer segment via D2K (Design 2 Key), a wholly owned home-finishing sub-brand offering three packaged tiers (Essentials, Signature, Crown) on flexible monthly payment plans with quality oversight from the parent company's construction operations. D2K targets an EGP 1 billion first-year investment target and is being rolled out in cooperation with unnamed major Egyptian consultants.

DETAC's value proposition rests on integrated turnkey delivery backed by ISO 9001, ISO 45001, and ISO 14001 certifications, a 95% project delivery rate, and a 90% quality control rating. Go-to-market is sales-led for the core contracting business (direct engagement, bidding, and proposals targeting developers and government) and direct-to-consumer for D2K (inquiry-driven package selection). Named enterprise clients span Egyptian real estate developers including SVREICO, Edge Holding, OIA Towers, Sorouh, Mimar Egypt, Pavilion, NIS, Spade, ERG, and Mohamed Talaat, alongside government work for the Egyptian Air Defense Forces. Leadership comprises Chairman Mohamed Salama, CEO Khaled Ghanem, and Business Development lead Mostafa Salama, with technical, projects, finance, HR, administration, and marketing functions reporting through the management team.

Direct peers

• Samcrete Engineers & Contractors: Egyptian general contractor providing turnkey construction across industrial, commercial and residential segments. Comparable service mix and Egypt-only focus to DETAC, with a stronger industrial-facility track record.
• Orascom Construction PLC: Egyptian-headquartered international general contractor with turnkey capabilities across industrial, commercial and infrastructure projects. Directly comparable in business model, scope of services and Egypt-based execution, but at materially larger scale and with broader geographic reach.
• Arab Contractors (Osman Ahmed Osman & Co.): Egyptian state-affiliated general contractor executing large-scale civil, infrastructure, industrial and commercial projects domestically and across the Arab world. Directly comparable to DETAC's general-contracting model and end-markets, though operating at much greater scale and with sovereign backing.
• SIAC Construction: Egypt-based contractor (part of Saudi SIAC Holdings) executing industrial, commercial and infrastructure projects across Egypt and the region. Closely comparable in scope (turnkey civil, MEP, finishing) and target customers.
• Concord for Construction & Investments: Egyptian general contractor active in industrial, commercial and residential construction with integrated civil and finishing capabilities. Comparable mid-tier Egyptian contractor profile to DETAC.
• Hassan Allam Construction: One of Egypt's largest private general contractors delivering turnkey industrial, commercial and infrastructure builds.

Emerging players

Regional players

• PGESCo (Power Generation Engineering Services): Egyptian engineering, procurement and construction company focused on power generation and industrial infrastructure. Comparable in heavy-industrial contracting execution, though specialized to the power sector rather than DETAC's broader vertical mix.
