How to Track Construction Projects in Saudi Arabia

Introduction

Saudi Arabia’s construction industry is entering a historic phase of growth, driven by Vision 2030 and the rapid expansion of giga projects, infrastructure, and housing developments. For contractors, consultants, suppliers, and investors, staying informed about ongoing and upcoming projects is essential to securing opportunities and remaining competitive.

Tracking construction projects in Saudi Arabia, however, is not always easy. The market is vast, fast-moving, and decentralized — with multiple stakeholders and varying project timelines. This is where platforms like SCAVO transform how professionals access and use market intelligence.

Why Tracking Construction Projects Matters

  1. Identifying Opportunities Early
    Early visibility into projects from concept or design stage allows companies to build relationships, prepare proposals, and position themselves strategically before tendering begins.

  2. Market Trend Analysis
    By tracking projects across sectors — from residential and commercial to infrastructure and industrial — companies can spot emerging trends and allocate resources accordingly.

  3. Competitor and Partner Insights
    Project tracking helps identify which contractors, consultants, and suppliers are active in specific regions or sectors, enabling smarter partnerships and competitive benchmarking.

  4. Investment and Forecasting Decisions
    Access to accurate data on project value, stage, and stakeholders supports better business forecasting and investment strategies.

 

How to Track Construction Projects Effectively

1. Use Reliable Project Tracking Platforms

The most efficient way to stay informed is through specialised construction intelligence platforms like SCAVO. These platforms provide verified data on projects across all stages — from concept to completion.

SCAVO, for example, tracks projects in real time across Saudi Arabia, offering insights into:

  • Project value and timelines
  • Developers, contractors, and consultants are involved
  • Sector categories (residential, commercial, infrastructure, industrial, etc.)
  • Project location and current status

Having this level of visibility helps companies make data-driven decisions, identify potential partners, and time their market entry effectively.

2. Follow Official Government Announcements

Many large-scale projects are initiated by government entities such as:

  • Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing (MOMRAH)
  • Public Investment Fund (PIF)
  • Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC)
  • Saudi Railways and Transport authorities

Following their official channels ensures early awareness of tender opportunities and policy changes that may influence the market.

3. Attend Industry Events and Conferences

Saudi Arabia hosts a growing number of construction and infrastructure exhibitions — such as The Big 5 Construct Saudi and Future Projects Forum — where new developments and partnerships are often announced. Networking at these events offers access to first-hand information and potential business leads.

4. Leverage Data Analytics

Advanced analytics can help track market trends and project performance across sectors. Platforms like SCAVO provide customizable dashboards, allowing users to monitor regional growth, contractor performance, and sector-specific investment patterns.

This approach transforms raw data into actionable insights that drive smarter business strategies.
