Forward Contractors - Real Estate

What Forward Contractors - Real Estate does

Forward Contractors - Real Estate is a Cairo-headquartered general construction contractor founded in 2010 by Engineer Mohamed El Gendy, operating as a rebrand of the predecessor firm Concrete. The company self-performs construction services across seven verticals — residential, commercial, industrial, medical, military, recreational, and touristic — with end-to-end scope covering civil works, all forms of internal and external finishing, and electromechanical systems integration. Its marquee delivered projects include the Marassi Resort on Egypt's North Coast (62,000 m2 built-up area, 7 residential buildings, 360 fully finished apartments) for developers Emar and Cosmos, and the Zewail University B05 educational building (48,500 m2 total constructed area) for Zewail City, contributing to a cumulative portfolio of 48 completed projects. Beyond construction execution, the company provides site selection assistance, design options, and project management advisory from inception through handover, targeting clients seeking custom luxury or institutional-grade delivery.

The firm employs approximately 221 staff and operates from a single headquarters at 40 Moustafa Sadek El Rafey in Heliopolis, Cairo, with active project delivery in both Cairo and the North Coast region of Egypt. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time, quote-based project contracts — pricing is per project, driven by scope and specifications, with no standardized public tiers. Distribution is direct via relationship-based field sales targeting property developers, government entities, educational institutions, and commercial clients; the firm supplements this with a corporate website, LinkedIn page, and Facebook page but does not disclose any reseller, broker, or distributor channel.

Ownership is concentrated in the founder, Mohamed El Gendy, who holds an Honors Degree in Civil Engineering from Ain Shams University (1992) and brings over 25 years of industry experience, including prior roles at SEKEM Group International and Heliocont. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or M&A activity. No certifications, patents, regulatory actions, or financial disclosures are present in the available sources, and no AI/ML or software product capabilities are evidenced.
