Founder & CEO – Fair Construction & Real Estate
Somaliland’s construction and real estate sector is entering a defining phase — one that demands structure, transparency, and disciplined execution. In my recent interview with The World’s Times, I shared reflections on my journey, my professional philosophy, and why I believe Somaliland is now ready for internationally driven development standards.
As the Founder and CEO of Fair Construction, this vision is not theoretical — it is the framework guiding how we build, manage, and deliver projects every day.
From International Markets to Local Transformation
Over the past 20+ years, my career has taken me across Europe, the Middle East, and East Africa, working on large-scale real estate programs, master-planned communities, and investment-driven developments valued in the hundreds of millions.
This exposure shaped my understanding of what disciplined development truly looks like:
- Clear systems
- Strong governance
- Professional project controls
- Investor-grade transparency
When I returned to Somaliland, I saw enormous opportunity — but also a clear gap in structured delivery. Fair Construction was established to bridge that gap and introduce international discipline adapted to local realities.
As I stated in the interview:
“Somaliland has huge potential, but historically lacked structured systems. My focus is to bring professionalism, transparency, and disciplined execution into a market ready for its next stage of growth.”
Why Fair Construction Exists
Fair Construction was not created to be just another contractor. It was founded with a clear mission:
To raise construction and real estate standards in Somaliland.
Our work is anchored around three non-negotiable pillars:
- Quality – Engineering accuracy, proper supervision, and finishing discipline
- Integrity – Transparent pricing, clear contracts, and honest delivery
- Innovation – Modern design thinking and structured project management
Within our first year, Fair Construction successfully delivered projects exceeding USD 1 million in value, reflecting growing trust from homeowners, investors, and partners who want professional execution — not shortcuts.
Same Discipline, Regardless of Project Size
One of the key points I emphasized in the interview is that scale does not change standards.
Whether delivering a single residential home or managing a multi-unit development, our approach remains the same:
- Daily reporting
- Structured supervision
- Clear scopes and responsibilities
- Engineering-led decision-making
This consistency is what separates professional developers from informal builders — and it is the standard we enforce across every Fair Construction project.
A Structured Vision for Somaliland’s Urban Growth
Somaliland is evolving rapidly. Population growth, diaspora return, and economic expansion are creating real demand for:
- Planned communities
- Reliable infrastructure
- Proper zoning and land use
- Professional real estate delivery
I firmly believe the next chapter of Somaliland’s growth will be defined by structured development, not ad-hoc construction. Fair Construction is positioning itself at the forefront of this shift — supporting residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments that are designed for long-term value.
As shared in the interview:
“Somaliland is now ready for this level of structure, and Fair Construction is positioned to support that evolution.”
What This Means for Clients & Investors
For our clients, this approach delivers:
- Homes built to international construction standards
- Clear timelines and accountable delivery
- Professional documentation and transparent pricing
For investors and partners, it means:
- Disciplined project execution
- Reduced delivery risk
- Sustainable long-term asset value
Closing Thoughts
Real estate is not just about buildings — it is about trust, systems, and legacy. Through Fair Construction, my goal is to contribute to a new benchmark for how Somaliland builds its future.
The journey is just beginning, but the foundation is clear:
discipline, transparency, and professionalism will define the next generation of Somaliland’s built environment.
