Tawuniya
Contractor & engineering cover from Saudi Arabia’s largest insurer
Market position
The Kingdom’s largest and most established insurer, running a dedicated contractors’ program for construction/installation contracts — contract works, third-party liability and employer’s liability toward workers. Its scale and government-sector relationships make it the default carrier for many Saudi main contractors.
Saudi Arabia-specific note

Typical Saudi Arabia pricing
Quote-based / risk-rated (not public) — standard for Gulf engineering cover
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.
