    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can foreigners own real estate in Saudi Arabia?

    Yes, with restrictions. Foreign investors with valid premium residency or a MISA-licensed entity can own real estate for business or housing purposes outside Makkah and Madinah, subject to approval and registration requirements.

    Do you advise on FIDIC construction contracts?

    Yes. We draft, review, and negotiate FIDIC Red, Yellow, and Silver Book contracts, including amendments aligned with Saudi law, and represent clients in construction disputes and claims under FIDIC clauses.

    How are construction disputes resolved in Saudi Arabia?

    Construction disputes can be resolved through expert determination, mediation, arbitration (often SCCA-administered), or litigation before the Commercial Court. The contract's dispute resolution clause governs the chosen forum.

    What approvals are needed for a real estate development project?

    Developments typically require land ownership documentation, municipality building permits, Ministry of Housing approvals for off-plan sales (Wafi license), environmental clearances, and utility connection approvals before launch.
