Nepal is an ancient South Asian nation that has been gradually opening the doors to the contemporary world in the recent years. Laying at the center of this change is the construction industry, which is deemed as having a very significant contribution to the country’s economic development. The construction sector in Nepal has gone through a phase of growth in the recent past as more and more people are migrating to urban areas, requirement of more infrastructure, and FDI in construction business. A few of the main players in this industry include NEBCO (Nepal Engineering and Building Construction Organization) which has proven to be efficient in the constructions of different projects that are being implemented in the country.
Over the years, NEBCO has played a pivotal role in determining the construction sector of Nepal and it has provided its service in all sectors of constructions – commercial constructions, residential constructions, constructions of roads and bridges and many more. This paper aims at identifying the role of NEBCO in Nepal construction industry, to determine its contribution on the urban infrastructural development as well as on the implementation of sustainable construction practices.
Infrastructure development can be considered to be the foundation of any type of development in any country and the same holds true for Nepal as well. The demand for transport, energy, and urban development has been felt more critical because of the need for the country to address the need of the growing population and investors. Thus, NEBCO has been central in the formulation and implementation of other major infrastructural projects that form the backbone of today’s Nepal.
Some of the difficulties include physical access, especially to rural areas as well as the geographical conditions in Nepal which can be quite demanding for logistically and for engineering. NEBCO has participated in the development of the necessary roads and bridges for communities that have been isolated to be connected to main business centers. The above projects have brought the aspects of market, education, health, and employment for development and poverty reduction in the region.
As a result of the technical skills in civil engineering and infrastructure design, NEBCO has been the company to produce well-built roads and bridges that conform to the international quality standards on road construction and bridge construction. With respect to the infrastructure development of transport, NEBCO has provided strong transports in the modulation of economic growth and trading of products between Nepal, India, and China.

The company has invited in several hydropower projects with the objective of fulfilling the energy demand of nepal through sustainable sources.
Hydropower has been developed through feasibility studies and project designs, construction of dam, power constructions, and transmission systems by NEBCO. It has provided an opportunity to the company to earn expertise in hydropower infrastructure to provide a closer substitute of imported energy to Nepal thereby fulfilling the ascendant domestic and industrial demand for renewable power.
The cities of Nepali are in the process of developing with high pace due to population dynamics, migration from rural areas and demand for modern services. NEBCO has been the pioneer in this urban development by offering architectural design and construction solutions to housing, office spaces and social facilities. The efficient architectural design inspired from modern contemporary styles and the incorporation of traditional Nepalese cultural features has placed the company at strategic position in the transformation of Nepal’s cities.
As the need for shelter arises in urban areas of Nepal especially in the three cities of Kathmandu, Pokhara and Lalitpur the company have taken part in constructing residential apartments to all categories of social status.

Indeed, one of the major characteristics of NEBCO is its commitment to effectively design and construct not just operational structures but visually appealing ones as well. Most of the designed buildings sometimes use local materials and designs and are intended to give a new image of Nepal through modern architectural designs. These projects help to build up the facelift of the Nepalese cities that in turn aid in the development of business, educational, and health care infrastructures.
