Housebuilder Galliford Try has registered a new business in Qatar.

Galliford Try Qatar LLC will focus on infrastructure projects in the public and regulated sectors.

The new business will work in joint venture venture with MFH, a wholly owned Qatari company also based in Doha.

Colin Crumlin, Managing Director of Galliford Try International: "Development in Qatar is taking place in a planned and controlled way with substantial government funding and therefore presents a better opportunity for our international growth than other more mature commercial markets in the Middle East. Even if building in Qatar stopped tomorrow it would take about 10 years for infrastructure to catch up so there’s plenty of work out there."
