New project awards in Oman from January to October 2025 totalled about US$5.5 billion, roughly 52% below the same period of 2024, as the government prioritised fewer, financially sound projects.

Where Muscat projects tend to lose money
Every quotation ranked on landed cost.
Bids for one Sultan Haitham City road package ranged from OMR 117.9 million to OMR 169.5 million, showing how widely prices vary.
How it worksBudget, committed and actual, per site, every day.
With awards down about 52% and government spending tighter, contractors have less room to absorb overruns on the packages they win.
How it worksThe daily report writes itself, the same evening.
Packages of 24 to 30 months across utilities, roads and tunnels need steady progress records to hold delivery dates.

- What should a construction company in Muscat check before choosing an ERP?
