Why this course?

Billing is the heartbeat of any construction project. If bills are wrong, cash flow suffers. If cash flow suffers, the entire project gets delayed. This is even more critical in Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf region, where multi-billion-dollar projects are being delivered under Vision 2030 and other GCC mega-initiatives.

Civil engineers, site engineers, and quantity surveyors often discover that billing in Saudi Arabia is different from billing in India, Europe, or elsewhere. RA bills (Running Account bills), interim certificates, and final accounts must follow local frameworks, VAT rules, ZATCA e-invoicing requirements, and client-specific standards.

This course has been designed to equip you with real-world billing skills for Saudi Arabia and GCC projects. Instead of learning generic theories, you’ll understand how billing is actually done on-site and in offices across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Dubai, Doha, Muscat, and beyond.

At BHADANIS, we know civil engineers and quantity surveyors need straightforward, practical guidance. This program covers billing procedures, BOQ preparation, RA bills, vendor reconciliation, VAT compliance, claims management, ERP billing workflows, and final account settlement.

Course Overview

The GCC Saudi Arabia Billing Engineering Course is a comprehensive, industry-driven training program. It blends classroom knowledge with field practices, enabling engineers to handle billing, contracts, and cost control with confidence.
