Our Story

Shaping stone in Qatar since 2011

Auckland Construction & Development was founded in Doha in 2011 by engineers Khalil Al Akhras and Karam, starting with small residential projects in Muaither. What began as a modest stone workshop grew, project by project, into one of Qatar's established names in natural-stone supply, fabrication and installation.

By 2016, marble had become a core part of the business. By 2018 we were delivering large villa and palace facades, and through 2020 we kept our sites running at full capacity. Today Auckland runs a 30-strong in-house team and a 1,000 m² fabrication factory, and has supplied and installed over 211,000 m² of stone across more than 150 projects.

Eng. Karam

Project Manager

Runs project delivery end to end — from quotation and design coordination to installation and handover on site.

Our 30-strong team is fully in-house — dedicated marble, stone and carving/décor departments led by our general foreman — so one accountable crew carries every project from the first cut to the last fixed panel.

Facility & Equipment

A 1,000 m² fabrication factory

We fabricate in our own 1,000 m² workshop in Doha, running bridge saws, CNC routers and waterjet, polishing lines and edge profilers — with capacity for up to 40,000 m² of stone a month. Because sourcing, fabrication and installation are all in-house, the material you approve is the material that goes up.

How we work

How We Deliver Stone That Lasts

One accountable team from the first site visit to the final polish: our engineers, our factory and our installation crews are all in-house.

  1. Engineering Consultation

    Our engineers study the site, orientation and sun exposure, then specify the stone, grade, thickness, finish and fixing for every elevation.

    Specified elevation by elevation

  2. Hand-Selected Stone

    We source directly from quarries in Syria, Oman, Jordan, Turkey, Italy and Portugal, choosing dense, sound blocks and rejecting the flawed material others pass on.

  3. In-House Fabrication

    Every piece is cut, CNC-carved, edge-profiled and polished in our own Doha factory, so tolerances and finish stay under our control, never outsourced.

  4. Engineered Installation

    Our own crews fix every panel mechanically in 304/316 stainless steel, engineered for the Gulf's heat and salt, so the facade still looks new decades later.

Our Services

Providing an absolute service from pre-construction to the completion of the project.

Pre-Design Services and Consultancy

Includes engaging in discussions with the clients, architects and builders before preferences are made. We make sure that we give you only the best tips and advices in choosing the right kind of stone and tiles needed for a particular project.

Specification & Estimating

We price each project from its drawings, not from a flat rate per square metre: our engineers specify the stone, thickness, finish and fixing for every elevation, so the estimate reflects the work exactly and the full scope is delivered by one accountable team.

Shop Drawings

We always give our best to produce a very detailed and accurate layout of the project. We also provide descriptions for each material required for the implementation of the assignment.

Stone Supply and Installation

Our supplies came from both local and foreign firms. We guarantee the quality selection, delivery, schedules and importing of the required materials.
