Saudi Arabia’s real estate and construction sectors are central to Vision 2030 transformation. Large-scale infrastructure programmes, giga-project developments and urban regeneration initiatives are reshaping the Kingdom’s commercial and residential landscape.

BDO Saudi Arabia supports real estate developers, construction contractors, project sponsors and investors with integrated assurance, tax and advisory services designed to strengthen governance, improve financial performance and manage project risk.

Real Estate Advisory and Assurance

The Kingdom’s real estate market continues to evolve through regulatory reform, increased foreign investment and strategic mega-projects. Developers and investors must navigate structuring considerations, financing requirements and tax exposure while maintaining disciplined governance.

Our real estate specialists provide sector-focused support across:

• Audit and financial reporting for real estate entities
• Tax structuring and optimisation, including White Land Tax advisory
• Capital allowances and VAT advisory
• Equity and property debt financing support
• Corporate governance and regulatory advisory
• Transaction and capital raising support
• Service charge accounting and turnover certifications

We advise a wide range of real estate businesses, including listed and private developers, joint ventures, investment vehicles and entrepreneurial growth companies.

Construction Sector Advisory

Construction businesses in Saudi Arabia operate under tight margin pressures, complex contractual structures and demanding project timelines. Large-scale infrastructure and industrial projects introduce significant financial, operational and compliance risk.

Our construction advisory teams support contractors, subcontractors and infrastructure suppliers through:

• Project finance and cost management oversight
• Financial modelling and performance monitoring
• Risk management and internal control enhancement
• Contract structuring and commercial advisory
• Business restructuring and operational improvement
• Capital allowances and VAT compliance for construction firms

We work with businesses delivering commercial, industrial, residential, infrastructure and energy-related projects, as well as specialist service providers such as plant suppliers, demolition firms and renewable energy contractors.

Infrastructure and Mega-Project Support

Major developments under Vision 2030, including giga-projects and public-private partnerships, require disciplined financial governance, structured funding models and effective supply chain oversight.

Our advisory teams provide integrated support covering project structuring, compliance management and financial transparency to ensure projects deliver long-term shareholder and stakeholder value.

Outsourced Accounting and Business Services

We provide outsourced accounting and business services tailored to real estate and construction entities, including management reporting, VAT compliance, payment services and company secretarial support.
