About

Civil construction with local knowledge

We are a mid-sized contracting firm that has operated in Afghanistan since 2011, delivering turnkey projects for government ministries, international development partners, and humanitarian agencies.

SolGen Contracting was founded by a team of civil engineers who recognised that Afghanistan's infrastructure needs required more than imported solutions — they needed contractors who understood local materials, terrain, logistics, and communities.

Our core disciplines are road construction, building works, and water and sanitation systems. We self-perform most civil works while managing specialist subcontractors for electrical, mechanical, and finishing scopes.

We maintain permanent operational bases in Kandahar and Kabul, with satellite teams that mobilise to project sites across the southern and eastern provinces. Our supply chain draws from Australian engineering standards while adapting to local conditions.

Every project we undertake includes a community engagement component — local labour training, materials sourcing from regional suppliers, and handover protocols that ensure long-term operational sustainability.

Operating model

We are not a trading company. We are builders — we pour concrete, erect steel, and trench pipelines. When a project requires specialist equipment or materials, we procure those systems the same way we procure cement and rebar: through competitive tender from certified international manufacturers.
