Real estate development in Egypt is a significant driver of the country's economy. It has experienced significant growth, driven by factors such as population growth, urbanization, and economic development. The sector is characterized by a mix of residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments.

A real estate developer and a contractor are two key roles in the real estate industry, but they play different parts in the process of creating or improving a building or property. We will present you a list of the most important contractors soon.

A real estate developer is a company that buys land, finances real estate deals, and partners with architects and builders to develop property. The developer might create new buildings, whether they're residential, commercial, or industrial, or he may renovate existing ones. Their work involves a high level of risk because it depends on the market's willingness to purchase or lease their developments, but it can also be highly rewarding. They are involved from the very early stages of a project, including the acquisition of land, the securing of financing, and the design and planning stages, through to the construction and sale or leasing of the property.

A contractor, on the other hand, is a company responsible for the day-to-day oversight of a construction site, the management of vendors and trades, and the communication of information to involved parties throughout the course of a building project. In short, they are the ones who physically build or renovate properties. A contractor can be a single person who does the work themselves (especially in the case of smaller projects), or they can represent a large company with many employees and subcontractors. The contractor is usually hired by the developer to carry out the construction work according to the developer's plans.
