TERRAIN SERVICES LTD is a Regional East African Company which was established in Uganda in 1996 to take advantage of opportunities arising from the Government of Uganda's policy to privatise road rehabilitation and maintenance services throughout the country. Terrain initially focused its commercial activities on the rehabilitation and maintenance of gravel roads and on providing ancillary services for the construction industry  as well as offering technical services for a variety of related commercial activities, which include but is not limited to the supply of equipment and materials for road works and construction projects.

Construction within Uganda expanded rapidly during the late 1990's and Terrain Group of Companies diversified into other areas of building and civil construction as well as becoming the leading supplier of generators and small plant and equipment. Our client base increased to supplying and working with the private sector, NGO's and Government parastatals and this progressively resulted in increased sales and contracts to neighbouring countries. Terrain Services Ltd joined with several international contractors as subcontractor or joint venture partners on larger donor funded projects in order to increase our experience and project size which increased our capacity to carry out larger independent contracts.

The Directors and senior management of Terrain Services Ltd  have considerable experience in general construction within East and Central Africa prior to joining the company and gained through working with international contractors and consultants. We have developed in-house capacity for 'design and build' projects through numerous contracts where clients need turn-key solutions within agreed budgets and time lines without having to employ the independent services of architects, consultants, quantity surveyors and contractors. This approach has provided Terrain Services with a wealth of experience in designing, supplying and construction specific functional facilities for numerous clients ranging from small health clinics in remote areas to multi million dollar diplomatic facilities.

In order to support our operations in the region, we have invested in equipment and transport to be self sufficient with regional logistic and supply. We have a good core of technical and support staff who have grown with the company as we have expanded. We have established a good reputation within the region which is reflected by repeat business from past clients and suppliers and we have the support of all our financial partners.
