Four Decades, Dozens of Landmark Projects: The Rais Ahmed & Brothers Journey

Founded in 1983, Rais Ahmed & Brothers has built more than four decades of experience in Pakistan’s HVAC and engineering sector, specialising in ducting, piping, grills, diffusers, cable trays, air devices and related utility systems. The company began with ducting installation at Abbott Laboratories and has since expanded its portfolio across pharmaceutical, industrial, commercial, retail, hospitality and institutional developments. “From that first project, we committed to being a reliable partner in Pakistan’s development,” said CEO Rais Ahmed.

The company’s early pharmaceutical portfolio included Abbott Laboratories Pharma, Wellcome Pharma and Hoechst Pharma, all completed with A. Sadat & Co. as consultant. Its major projects with NESPAK include Expo Centre Hall Nos. 4, 5 and 6, Mekro Cash & Carry on Shahrah-e-Faisal, and World Trade Centre Islamabad.

Plus, it completed Hilton Pharma, while projects with F.N.D. included Henicon Pharma, Dolmen Mall Clifton, M.C.B. Head Office Building Auditorium and the F.N.D. Office.

Its portfolio with S.M.C. covers G-4 Building Lahore, Atrium Mall Karachi, Emaar Old Tower (5 Towers), Emaar Paragon – The Waves Tower, Emaar Karachi Limited (A.C.L), Panorama Tower and Y.D. Gharo.

Our core mission has always been to satisfy our clients’ needs anyhow possible,” Rais Ahmed explained.

Over four decades, the company has worked across projects ranging from pharmaceutical plants and industrial facilities to shopping malls, corporate offices, restaurants, residential developments and major public facilities. Its continued work with established engineering consultants has enabled it to address varied technical requirements while maintaining its focus on quality, coordination and timely execution.
