Massive deals each worth billions of Saudi riyals have been announced recently on two of the Saudi capital city’s most ambitious development projects – Diriyah Gate and Qiddiya – with all indications pointing to further mega construction awards and the revving up of activity on site.
Saudi Arabia’s construction market in 2022 will see a significant increase in activity with several more contract awards compared with the previous years. A prime reason for this is several of the mega projects that were in the design and planning phase have now progressed to tendering and are being awarded to contractors.
