Advent Construction: The Only ISO-Certified Construction Company in Tanzania

Advent Construction remains the first and only ISO-certified construction company in Tanzania. So far, the company has built a very diverse portfolio of cutting-edge factories and educational facilities, mining facilities, residential and hospitality facilities, shopping and commercial complexes, as well as other very versatile multi-use projects. Dhruv Jog talks about the role Advent in transforming both the country and the region.

“Advent is a 21 year old company now and it is a fully Tanzanian, family founded entity. It still works under the umbrella of the founding family, but is now run by a team of astute and experienced professionals. As you mentioned, we have worked across a wide spectrum and have been involved in all sorts of projects. What we have always tried to strive towards, and we believe we have been extremely successful at, is to push the envelope when it comes to quality. The construction sector has seen dramatic growth in Tanzania over the past 10 years, and we have always tried to be at the forefront of this, in terms of pushing for quality and standard compliance. We remain the first and only ISO-certified construction company in Tanzania, and we take that as a testament to our commitment to quality. What we strive to achieve is to increase the overall level of quality in the sector across the country, and thereby encourage other construction companies to ‘keep up’. We are quite proud to say that we currently operate at a standard that is at a par with the best global practices when it comes to technology, equipment, speed and quality of construction. Therefore, the industry has seen a paramount change over the last 10 years, and we feel that we have contributed significantly to this. The acceleration in capacity of local construction companies has been explosive over the last 10 years and we are proud to be at its forefront”, says Dhruv Jog.
