King Abdullah Economic City is a purpose-built economic city on the Red Sea coast north of Jeddah. Bay La Sun and the Industrial Valley are still filling out, so retail and commercial units are being fitted for the first time rather than refitted.
CMA International is a turnkey fit-out contractor working in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia — the group behind Aayan Technical Company Limited (ATCL), which has delivered 150+ retail, F&B and commercial interior projects from its Jeddah base since 2003. Civil works, MEP and HVAC, metal fabrication, façades and signage are delivered under a single contract, on one programme, to one handover date.
A store that opens late doesn't just open late — it misses a season. Every decision below is aimed at the handover date.
King Abdullah Economic City is a purpose-built economic city on the Red Sea coast north of Jeddah. Bay La Sun and the Industrial Valley are still filling out, so retail and commercial units are being fitted for the first time rather than refitted.
Approx. 100 km by road from our Jeddah base. Crews mobilise to site for the duration of the programme; long-lead metalwork and joinery are built in our own workshop and shipped.
Shop drawings, material submittals and mall or authority NOCs are pushed in parallel, not in sequence — the single biggest source of lost weeks on a King Abdullah Economic City programme.
One tender, one programme, one party answerable where the trades meet. No interface gap between a civil subcontractor and an MEP subcontractor for you to manage.
The contract route is agreed before the bid is priced, so nobody discovers a scope gap at award.
| Route | What it means | What we carry | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turnkey main contract | We hold the whole fit-out package direct with the brand, operator or landlord | Bare shell to opening day, one tender sum, one programme, one defects-liability period | Brands taking a unit and wanting one name on the contract |
| Design & build | We take the concept or brand manual and carry the detailed design as well as the build | Shop drawings, material selection, authority and mall submittals, then construction | Clients with a concept pack but no local detailer |
| Subcontract package | We take one or more trade packages under another main contractor | MEP, metal fabrication, joinery, façade or finishes, priced and programmed as a package | Main contractors short of in-house trade capacity |
| Supply & install | We fabricate in our own workshop and install to your programme | Shopfronts, signage, structural steel, retail fixtures, balustrades, counters | Rollouts where only the fabricated scope is outsourced |
| Framework / rollout agreement | One agreed rate schedule and specification applied store after store | Repeat units called off against a master agreement, with a fixed per-store programme | Retail groups opening multiple stores in a season |
| Fit-out management | We run the trades and the programme on your behalf without holding the trade contracts | Procurement, sequencing, quality control, snagging and handover documentation | Landlords and operators keeping direct contracts with specialists |
