“Operational developments during 2015 prove the company’s ability to meet customer expectations in terms of design and delivery accuracy while increasing revenue and net profit during the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the previous quarter,” added El-Hitamy.

“2015 also saw us lay the groundwork for future growth, with strategic co-development plans now in place with Palm Hills Developments (PHD).
