You might already know that the construction works in Saudi Arabia is astonishingly expanding and diversifying. For the coming 5 – 6 years, the expenditure on the Saudi Construction Sector is expected to reach USD 1.5 Trillion. This demand is mainly coming from the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the sovereign fund of Saudi Arabia, as well as the rapidly expanding public and private sectors businesses. This will include the already much in-demand world-class Engineering, Project Management, and Facility Management Services.
PIF-driven serious and accelerated demand for Engineering, Project Management, and Facility Management Services brought major improvements to the entire Saudi business environment. First, the contracting and payment mechanisms / cycle are now automated / transparent and world-class to a great extent. Second, the emphasis on safety and protecting the environment is momentous and to global standards and expectations. Third, the competitiveness / differentiation factor between Engineering, Project Management, and Facility Management Services providers is innovation, professionalism and new ideas; not lowest prices.
At the national level, within the Saudi Government and PIF Projects, there is a serious and committed focus and investment in suitability and protecting the environment.
From our side (SABATCO Group), and in addition to providing and delivering engineering services thru one of our subsidiary MZ Engineering Firm, (www.mzenggintl.com), brings comprehension of the demand / supply of Engineering, Project Management, understanding of the related market / services delivery dynamics, measures of the construction / engineering growth landscape - especially for PIF Mega Projects, appreciation of the newly emerging clients expectations, standards, contracting and payment processes, massive network and access to clients at multiple levels, in both public and private sectors.
While Engineering and Project Management Services are in constant multiplying demand, we can evidently see that the demand for Facility Management Services is already picking up fast in a major scale. Therefore SABATCO Group has establish a new independent subsidiary named (SABATCO Facility Management Co. (SABATCO FM Co)), on which I am the Executive Chairman.
SABATCO FM Co is now strategically planning to form a Partnership with one internationally recognized Facilities Management provider. We will not require any investment to be made by the selected Partner, who will be expected to provide Facilities Management through leaders, knowhow and technology only.
My email is (kalohali@sabatco.com) and I am happy to meet at the October IFMA event to discuss this opportunity.
Thank you
