About us
A contractor measured by what it built, not what it promised
Contracting is among the oldest professions practised by man — an industry that turns a blend of ideas, experience, skill and materials into a structure that serves people. That blend begins with the designer's idea, passes through the owner's intent, and ends with the contractor's effort in translating ideas and intentions into tangible reality.
Since its founding in 1993, Al-Shaheqah has played an active part in advancing architectural progress in the Kingdom, delivering dozens of development, government and private projects. It has made its name synonymous with trustworthy dealing, quality performance and precise execution — pledging itself to quality whatever the cost.
What we do
General contracting services
We cover the full project cycle: from drawing review and cost estimation through to final handover and maintenance.
Hospitals & healthcare facilities
Our largest sector (42% of our work). Healthcare facilities demanding complex MEP systems, exacting hygienic finishes and strict scheduling.
Housing compounds & towers
From private villas and two- to three-storey buildings, to large residential towers and integrated compounds with their facilities and services.
Educational facilities
Schools and educational buildings executed to safety requirements and educational specifications, on schedules that respect the start of the academic year.
Industrial & steel buildings
Warehouses, hangars and industrial facilities with steel structures, plus stations and service utilities, with structural solutions suited to heavy loads and long spans.
Retail & commercial centres
Shopping centres, markets and architectural glass façades that combine commercial appeal with operational and safety requirements.

Case study
Al-Shaheqah and its experience with value engineering
The success of any project is measured by how well it performs the function it was created for, at the lowest possible cost. That is the original meaning of value engineering: raising the value of what is executed, not its price.
After analysing the project's elements and studying its functions using our accumulated experience on similar projects, the cost dropped from SAR 40 million to SAR 30 million while preserving the essential requirements and overall form — a result Chamber officials described as remarkable, after the project had nearly been shelved for good.
