About Yashar
A modern construction company, built on old-fashioned values.
Building, civil and infrastructure contractor headquartered in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Yashar Construction Company Ltd is a Nigerian building, civil and infrastructure contractor headquartered in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
We deliver residential, commercial and public projects from site preparation through to handover: earthworks, roads and drainage, reinforced concrete structures, façades and finishes. Every project is planned, built and checked against one standard: work that stands the test of time.
What sets us apart is how we work. Yashar is a technology-driven contractor. We use digital planning, live progress reporting and data-backed quality checks so clients always know where their project stands, what it costs, and when it will be delivered.
Our benchmark is international, not local. We measure ourselves against the best contractors in Nigeria and the Gulf, and we bring that discipline to every site, large or small.
Our Vision
To be the most trusted construction company in Africa, known for building to international standards with precision, integrity and technology.
Our Mission
To deliver durable, safe and high-quality structures on time and within budget, using smart processes, skilled people and complete transparency with every client.
Leadership
The people behind every build.
Engr. Emeka Ozoemelam
Principal Engineer & Head of ProjectsEngr. Emeka leads Yashar’s technical team and every project we deliver, across multi-storey buildings, structural frames, façades, roads and drainage. He oversees design coordination, site supervision and quality sign-off, so every structure is built exactly as engineered.
“Every project is a promise, delivered with precision.”

We build for decades, not for handover day. Correct specifications, proper curing and materials chosen to last.
