SAUDI CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL — MONTHLY — EST. 2026
Notes from the projects
shaping Saudi Arabia.
One reported piece per month. Specifics over theory — installation sequence, compliance, handover, procurement, the gap between specifications and installations. Read by developers, project directors, and procurement leads across the Kingdom.

RESIDENTIAL / DESIGN
A show unit in Riyadh is not a design exercise. It is the most expensive sales tool you have.
Finishes, lighting, flow, and the psychology of space: designing show units that convert interest into a purchase decision.
1 MIN READ →
PROCUREMENT / COMPLIANCE
Three suppliers. One tender. None of them quoted the same product.
Specification gaps and unclear technical language create different assumptions — and very different costs.
1 MIN READ →
EXPANSION-JOINTS / COMPLIANCE
Why your seismic expansion joint failed the third-party lab — and what we changed.
It came down to load, fixing, and movement capacity — not the product itself.
1 MIN READ →
COMPLIANCE / HANDOVER
The binder you hand the inspector: what we put in it, and why.
Drawings, approvals, reports, and photographs that prove what was built — and how it protects your project.
1 MIN READ →
DESIGN / PROCUREMENT
A materials board is a contract. Treat it like one.
A clear, coordinated board aligns developers, procurement teams, and suppliers from day one.
1 MIN READ →
FIRESTOP / COMPLIANCE
Penetrations: 42 of them, 47 different decisions.
Every opening is different — substrate, services, and conditions govern the right firestop system.
