Building Basra's next chapter, from groundwork to handover.

Tair Al-Samman is a general contracting company based in Basra, Iraq. We plan, build and maintain buildings, infrastructure and industrial facilities for public and private clients.

A contractor built on discipline, accountability and local knowledge.

Tair Al-Samman General Contracting Co. Ltd. is a registered Iraqi limited company headquartered in Basra. We take on complete construction scopes — civil, structural, architectural, mechanical and electrical — and manage them as a single, accountable contractor.

Working in southern Iraq demands more than technical skill. Extreme summer heat, high groundwater, saline soils and the logistics of a busy port and oil region shape every decision we make, from concrete mix design to site scheduling. We plan for these conditions from day one.

Our clients include government directorates, private developers, commercial owners and industrial operators. Each receives the same commitment: clear scope, honest reporting, safe sites and work delivered to specification.

Our mission

To deliver construction projects safely, on schedule and to specification, while giving our clients full visibility of cost, progress and quality at every stage.

Our vision

To be among the most trusted general contractors in southern Iraq, recognised for the quality of what we build and the integrity of how we build it.

Our values

Safety before speed. Quality that is checked, not assumed. Transparency with clients. Respect for our workforce, our neighbours and the environment.

Services across every discipline of general contracting

We self-perform core works and coordinate qualified specialist subcontractors under one contract, so our clients deal with a single point of responsibility.
