Matanah is a Jeddah contractor for commercial, residential, infrastructure and industrial work. We pour our own concrete, erect our own steel and keep a programme we can defend.

02 / Sectors

Four kinds of ground.

One company, four very different sites. The same site leadership, the same safety practice and the same habit of building what the drawings say.

Commercial

  • Offices
  • Retail podiums
  • Hotels
  • Mixed use

Frames up to 32 storeys, podium car parks, curtain wall coordination.

Three basement levels dug 60 metres from the shoreline, with dewatering running day and night for nine months. The precast fins were cast off site and lifted into place on night shifts.

The shell was handed over floor by floor so tenant fit-out could start on the lower levels while the upper floors were still being closed in.

Six villa types built from one structural grid, so formwork, rebar schedules and MEP routes repeat from house to house.

Handed over in four phases. The first families moved in while the last two streets were still being paved and planted.

The precast girders were made in a casting yard 9 kilometres away and moved on night permits, two at a time.

The box culverts were sized for the winter storms that close roads in the south of the city, and traffic stayed open on the existing carriageway throughout.

21 months for the frame

The core climbs on a jumpform one level ahead of the floor plates. Since the typical floors began, the frame has kept a five-day floor cycle.

Heavy pours run at night between May and October. The crane plan covers wind limits for the coast, where the afternoon breeze picks up fast.

04 / Capabilities

What we do with our own hands.

We self-perform the work that decides a programme: concrete, structure and steel. Specialist packages are coordinated by our own engineers, not passed down the line.

Tower cranes
9
Concrete pumps
6
Survey crews
4
  1. Pre-construction and estimating

    Value engineering, buildability reviews and a priced programme before the contract is signed.

  2. Concrete and structure

    In-house formwork crews, post-tensioning and jumpforms for high-rise cores.

  3. Structural steel

    Fabrication coordination, our own erection crews and crane planning for every lift.

  4. MEP coordination

    One coordinated model, one weekly clash meeting, one accountable engineer.

  5. Infrastructure and civil works

    Earthworks, utilities, bridges and culverts, with our own survey crews setting out.

  6. Handover

    Snagging by floor, as-built drawings and a 12-month defects period with a named engineer.

05 / How we deliver

From survey peg to handover.

Five stages, with the durations a client can expect on a typical mid-rise building in Jeddah. Your programme will be priced to your drawings.

  1. Survey and site set-up

    3 to 5 weeks

    Survey pegs, hoarding, site cabins, temporary power and water, and a logistics plan agreed with the consultant before the first excavator arrives.

  2. Substructure

    8 to 14 weeks

    Excavation, dewatering where the water table asks for it, piles or raft, waterproofing and the basement walls.

  3. Frame

    7 to 10 days per floor

    Columns, core and slabs on a repeating cycle, with cube tests logged for every pour and survey checks on every level.

  4. Envelope and services

    16 to 28 weeks

    Facade, roofing, blockwork, and first and second fix for MEP, all from one coordinated model.

  5. Handover and defects

    6 to 10 weeks

    Testing and commissioning, snagging floor by floor, as-built drawings, then a 12-month defects period with a named engineer.

06 / Safety

Everyone goes home.

Safety on our sites is a set of habits, practised every shift. These are the ones we hold every project to.

  • Every morning

    Toolbox talks in six languages

    Arabic, English, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali and Malayalam, so every crew hears the day's risks in the language it thinks in.

  • Before the work

    Permit to work

    For hot work, lifting, excavation, work at height and confined spaces. No permit, no start.

  • Every crane

    A lift plan for every non-routine lift

    Written for the load, the radius and the wind, and signed by the appointed person before the hook moves.

  • May to September

    Heat stress, planned for

    Water, shade and rest stations on every site. Outdoor work stops in the summer midday hours, as the Kingdom's rules require, and heavy pours move to night shifts.

  • Anyone, any time

    Stop-work authority

    Every worker can stop a job they think is unsafe, with no penalty for using it.

  • Every week

    Near misses, reviewed

    Reported on paper or by phone, and reviewed every week by the project director with the foremen.

07 / Context

Building for a decade of change.

Saudi Vision 2030 has put housing, tourism, logistics and quality of life at the centre of national planning, and Jeddah is changing fast: new districts to the north, a renewed historic core, and a waterfront that keeps growing. For a contractor, that means more work, tighter programmes and higher expectations. We are investing in what that asks of us: Saudi engineers in site leadership, a local supply chain, and training that keeps pace.

Matanah is a private company and is not affiliated with any government programme or authority.

People

Saudi graduate programme

Graduate engineers rotate through concrete, steel, MEP and planning for two years before they take a site role of their own.

Supply

Local suppliers first

Rebar, ready-mix, blockwork and formwork timber are bought within the Makkah region wherever the specification allows.

Programme

Night-shift pours

Large pours run after dark in the hot months: better concrete, safer crews and fewer trucks in daytime traffic.

08 / Careers

Site people, not just staff.

Our project teams are led from the site cabin, not the head office. If you would rather be where the concrete is poured, you will fit in here.

  • Clear drawingsIf it is not on a drawing, we do not build it.
  • Early warningsBad news travels up on the day it is known.
  • Clean sitesA tidy site is a safe site, and a quicker one.
