Examining these four sub-industries of the construction industry in Libya helps shed light on the diverse range of projects currently underway in the country.

When it comes to rebuilding Libya’s infrastructure, AlSahl Group Holding has been there at every stage: construction, rehabilitation, maintenance, and management. The company is currently engaged in four distinct areas of the construction industry to restore the nation’s infrastructure:

  • Residential building
  • Commercial And Institutional Building
  • Heavy Civil Construction
  • Industrial Construction

All of Libya’s citizens will benefit from AlSahl Group Holding’s efforts to invest in, develop, and produce essential infrastructure and building materials that will help to establish Libya as a premier business and leisure destination of the twenty-first century.

In that light, let’s examine these industries in detail:

1. Residential Building 

One of Libya’s most vital industries is the residential construction sector. Providing safe and affordable housing for the populace helps the economy and the country.

Building, remodeling, and repairing a home, whether from the ground up or making substantial interior or exterior alterations, all fall under the umbrella term “residential construction.”

When people talk about residential construction, they’re referring to structures meant to “house” anything from people to machinery to supplies.

The term “residential construction” is often misunderstood by those unfamiliar with the field. In reality, a “residential building” can include anything from a single-family residence to a multi-unit apartment complex or a storage shed.

It’s not just for detached structures like garages and sheds, either; the residential building is still going on in other areas of the development. Electricity and wiring, hydro, sewage systems, and pavement can all be part of this. In terms of volume, residential building is typically the industry standard.

2. Commercial And Institutional Building

Buildings under the commercial and institutional category include educational institutions, healthcare facilities like hospitals, public, and private sports arenas and stadiums, retail and shopping centers, and high-rise office buildings.

Everything from initial construction to any necessary upkeep or future alterations is a part of this build.

In this type of building, private companies like AlSahl Group usually take on the role of contractors, builders, and materials suppliers.

Building projects for institutions like schools, hospitals, and even some sports arenas are typically overseen and funded through a combination of public and private sources.

3. Heavy Civil Construction

Typically, private corporations and government agencies work together to fund and build infrastructure and other forms of heavy construction in the interest of the Libyan people.

Some examples of infrastructure and heavy construction projects that benefit society include highways, tunnels, transit systems, bridges and overpasses, pipelines, and drainage systems.

These types of projects aim to modernize the entire country, build reliable public infrastructure, and help improve the quality of life for Libyans. 

Investing in heavy civil construction by the private and public sector can influence several aspects. From alleviating traffic problems by building bridges, to limiting the overflow of dirt, water, and debris by improving drainage systems, these projects will ultimately make it easier for Libyans to commute, prevent road damage due to flooding, and improve their overall living standards. 

4. Industrial Construction

There is a developing boom in this sector of construction. Industrial construction is typically more specialized and technologically advanced than standard residential and institutional buildings.

Structures involving or containing chemical, medical, or power generators are examples of projects that fall under specialized industrial construction.

Projects like these are funded and carried out by for-profit businesses and industries interested in renting or purchasing the finished structure.
