Saudi Arabia’s construction sector is growing at a record pace, driven by Vision 2030, mega infrastructure developments, and smart city programs such as NEOM, The Line, and Qiddiya. For professionals working in this dynamic market, success depends on deep understanding of authority procedures, documentation standards, and approval systems led by key entities like:

  • Ministry of Interior (MOI) – focusing on site security, fire safety, and emergency layouts.

  • Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) – governing power supply, metering, and electrical design approvals.

  • Royal Commission (RC) – managing planning, zoning, and handover procedures for industrial and development cities such as Jubail and Yanbu.

Without proper coordination among these authorities, projects face serious delays, rejections, and penalties. This certification ensures that you not only understand Saudi construction processes — you can manage, coordinate, and deliver projects fully compliant with all MOI, SEC, and RC requirements.
