Labor Laws
Construction has a different Saudization rate than most sectors, with fluctuating headcount across project phases. Here's what to track.
Saudization Requirements for Construction Companies
The construction sector deals with different Saudization rates than other sectors, due to heavy reliance on a labor force skilled in technical, hands-on roles.
The current situation
Required Saudization rates differ for construction-classified entities versus office/technical entities, with consideration given to the rarity of skills in precise construction professions.
Seasonal labor and projects
Construction projects often have fixed timelines, requiring headcount that expands and contracts by project phase, which complicates tracking your Nitaqat ratio consistently.
Profession safety and insurance
Certain safety-related roles require specific health insurance and social insurance levels that match Ministry of Human Resources data.
What construction companies should do now
Check the specific Saudization rate for construction through Qiwa rather than assuming the general rate
Track Saudization quarterly with rising and falling project headcount in mind
