A database rating contractors in the Saudi construction industry is part of a new national strategy designed to help the Kingdom deliver its SR1.2 trillion ($319 billion) Vision 2030 projects.  The new initiative, launched by the Saudi Contractors Authority, seeks to provide opportunities for contractors to implement projects in their specializations to raise their quality. 

This falls in line with the authority’s mission to organize the industry by setting and executing high-quality organizational standards, encouraging innovation, developing skills, improving communication in the industry and achieving economic sustainability.

The SCA has also signed over 10 agreements and memorandums of understanding with major global contracting sectors, in addition to participating in more than 50 government committees. 

In 2023, the National Housing Co. and SCA signed an MoU during the Future Projects Forum in Riyadh to develop a platform aimed at enhancing cooperation, ensuring the development of both entities, and improving the sector’s efficiency. 

The SCA, a semi-governmental organization, addresses the challenges of the contracting sector and fosters a more attractive and efficient environment.
