Muqawil (Saudi Contractors Authority)
National owner ↔ contractor project-exchange of the Saudi Contractors Authority
Market position
The official e-portal of the Saudi Contractors Authority — a centralized environment where project owners and registered contractors exchange projects and offers. Contractors register/pre-qualify, get found by owners (including for PIF-affiliate projects), and use standardized contracts and dispute mediation. The closest thing Saudi has to a true construction work-sourcing platform.
Saudi Arabia-specific note
For Saudi construction/MEP/fit-out firms this is effectively mandatory infrastructure — registration is how you get pre-qualified and found for PIF-affiliate and private projects. Complements Etimad (public tenders, listed under compliance).
Pros
- + Genuinely construction-contractor focused, with official Saudi Contractors Authority backing
- + Owners search/evaluate contractors by specialization, size, location
- + Pre-qualification gateway for PIF-affiliate / giga-project work
Cons
- − Government-portal UX, not a slick commercial funnel
- − Value depends on keeping membership/pre-qualification current
- − Skews to mid/large registered firms over micro-contractors

Why this matters for Saudi Arabia trades
Engineering practice requires Saudi Council of Engineers (SCE) registration; contractors need a MOMRAH classification grade to bid public work; permits run through Balady under the mandatory Saudi Building Code; and accounting/invoicing must integrate with ZATCA's Fatoora e-invoicing — so local software has to handle Arabic, SAR and 15% VAT.
Saudi construction & trades software selection is shaped by Vision 2030's giga-project boom (NEOM, Red Sea, Qiddiya, ROSHN), mandatory ZATCA e-invoicing (Fatoora), Arabic/RTL and Saudi-Riyal requirements, contractor classification (Grades 1–6), Saudi Building Code compliance, and Saudization (Nitaqat) labour rules.
