The under construction Mecca Royal Clock Tower hotel complex in the holy Saudi city of Mecca is being built by the Saudi Binladin Group.
[More Images]
ConstructionWeek has worked with research company Ventures Middle East, to bring you a list of the top 12 construction contractors operating in the kingdom today. The ranking is based on the value of current contracts for building work, but we also include overall figures for current work under contract across all sectors.
The list is dominated by local Saudi family-run firms. The big two, Saudi Oger and Saudi Binladin Group have ruled the market for decades and consistently secure the biggest projects through a combination of resources – both personnel and material – and extent of capital backing. Al Arrab Trading & Contracting scores well in building contracts, but is not as strong as the big two in other sectors.
While the global economic crisis has brought irrepressible pressure on the region’s construction sector, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia has shown itself to be less affected than most economies in the GCC. Unsurprisingly, contractors in the kingdom, while cautious, have not seen work dry up, buoyed by the government’s latest budget, which emphasised spending on new projects.
Note: Al Khodari has been removed from the list at the request of the company. The company felt the figures reported were inaccurate but declined to supply updated information.

Validation of Published Information
I regret that the basis on which the results have been declared are questionable. For example the facts in the case of Abdullah A.M. AlKhodari Sons Company have not been validated with an authorized source within the company BEFORE it was published which places the authenticity of such findings in serious doubt. What is unfortunately more regrettable is that despite pointing this out to CW and requesting a retraction, this has not been done so far. Instead we were asked to give them the correct figures which the Company chose to ignore, as this due diligence should have been done prior to publishing and not after the fact; as any responsible publication would normally do rather than relying purely on third party research agencies.
