Building a National Cold Chain Logistics Framework for Qatar’s Food and Pharmaceutical Industries
A major Qatari real estate and infrastructure developer commissioned Eurogroup Consulting to enhance project delivery efficiency and integrate sustainability principles across its portfolio of mixed-use and public infrastructure projects. The client sought to reduce delays, control rising construction costs, and align future developments with Qatar National Vision 2030 and the country’s green building standards.
The client managed several large-scale construction projects, including residential complexes, office developments, and community infrastructure. However, it faced recurring challenges:
- Frequent project delays due to fragmented contractor coordination.
- Rising material and logistics costs exacerbated by global supply chain volatility.
- Limited adoption of digital tools for project monitoring and performance control.
- Increasing regulatory pressure to integrate sustainability and local material sourcing.
These issues hindered delivery timelines, increased operational costs, and limited the company’s ability to maintain competitiveness in Qatar’s fast-growing construction market.
Our engagement combined analytical assessments, process redesign, and implementation support through five key stages:
- Operational Diagnostic: Evaluated existing project management processes, supplier networks, and cost structures across active construction sites.
- Digitalization Roadmap: Recommended adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and a centralized project dashboard to track progress, costs, and compliance in real time.
- Supply Chain Optimization: Assessed sourcing strategies and proposed partnerships with local suppliers to reduce import dependency and improve delivery reliability.
- Sustainability Integration: Developed practical guidelines to incorporate energy-efficient designs, waste reduction measures, and green materials into all new developments.
- Capacity Building: Conducted workshops for project managers, procurement teams, and engineers on digital project management and sustainable construction standards.
