Construction: Quality is No Longer a Secret

Real investment lies in obtaining high-quality residential units in execution. This is the differentiating factor after the implementation of the Saudi Building Code in buildings. It is one of the ambitious goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 to provide housing of quality that meets the aspirations of Saudi citizens in terms of water and electricity efficiency, and promoting safety and public health. Investing in the right place allows you to learn from mistakes and avoid them from the beginning, saving you time, effort, and money.

The importance of implementing the Saudi Building Code lies in improving construction quality, safeguarding the Saudi economy by ensuring the safety of facilities and their occupants, and establishing regulations that define proper studies and suitable methods for the conditions and capabilities of the Kingdom. It assists engineers, technicians, and citizens in general, emphasizing that quality is no longer a secret and enabling them to carry out their work in sound and secure ways. It also contributes to reducing differences in opinions among the entities working in the construction sector. The strategic objectives of developing the content of the Saudi Building Code include enhancing the efficiency, safety, durability, and sustainability of buildings, increasing the buildings' lifespan through the application of the regulations and requirements of the code, and utilizing Saudi standards. It also focuses on energy conservation, reducing operating and maintenance costs for buildings, and increasing their resistance to natural disasters.

Decisions that limit manipulation in construction quality should be commended, as they contribute to providing high-quality residential units that meet approved standards suitable for consumers. Individuals seeking to secure decent housing for themselves and their families without worrying about future defects and construction problems will benefit. Such decisions will increase consumer confidence in the offered real estate units, aligning with the ambitions of the Kingdom's vision, which emphasizes providing services befitting Saudi citizens, far from the practices of those who manipulate the quality of properties and offer units that do not meet the citizens' expectations.

One of the greatest benefits of implementing the building code on properties and buildings is that consumers obtain high-quality and safe residential units. It also enhances consumption efficiency and rationalization of water and electricity usage, contrary to the commonly known high construction and finishing costs. It will reduce operating and maintenance costs for buildings, while improving quality and efficiency. This is much needed considering the prevalence of poorly constructed villas!
