Why main contractors keep calling us back
Finishing is where programmes slip and budgets leak. These four things are how we keep that from happening on your project.
Why Ashlaar
One contract, five trades
Finishing, facade, MEP, structure and supervision sit under one accountable team, so the gaps between trades stop being your problem to manage.
Built to government specification
Twenty-five years on ministry, university and hospital work means our QA records, submittals and HSE files arrive in the form the consultant expects.
Engineers on site, not on paper
A dedicated support-engineering team runs scheduling, technical queries, quality and safety daily on every active project.
A schedule you can report upward
We sequence the finishing works against the main contractor's critical path and report progress against it every week.
Supervision that shows up, every day
Our support-engineering team is on site daily, not just at milestones — coordinating trades, resolving technical queries, and keeping quality and safety on track from mobilization through handover.
How we work
Plan & estimate
We scope the work, plan the schedule and provide a clear estimate.
Design & prepare
Technical detailing, material selection and site mobilization.
Execute
Skilled crews deliver the finishing scope safely and to standard.
Handover & maintain
Quality handover and maintenance support after completion.
What to check before you sign — answered honestly
Our own buyer's guide tells clients to check classification and paperwork before the sales pitch, not just take a proposal on trust. Here's how we'd answer those exact questions about ourselves.
Which trades do you actually self-perform?
All five capabilities on this site — architectural finishing, external & facade works, MEP works, structural works, and supervision & consultancy — under our own accountable team, not passed down to another layer of subcontractors.
What's your current contractor classification and compliance status?
Ask us directly and we'll give you a straight, current answer — classification is public record with the Saudi Contractors Authority, worth verifying independently rather than taking either a competitor's or our own word for it.
Will you name a specific site engineer before I sign?
Yes — our technical contacts are named on this site, not hidden behind a general enquiries inbox, and a named engineer carries accountability for a project start to finish.
Will my quote break down by trade, not one line for "finishing works"?
Yes — every quote is scoped to the actual project and itemised by trade after a scope review, not a bare figure with no basis.
How are variations and site changes priced and approved?
Through a documented change process agreed before work proceeds, coordinated by the same project-management and technical-services function that runs the rest of the programme — so there's no argument afterward about what was agreed and by whom.
Trusted by main contractors, not just owners
11 of our 19 published projects were delivered as finishing contractor to a main contractor — 5 for Hadeem Contracting Co., 6 for Consultancy Group — coordinating our programme, submittals and QA records inside theirs rather than running an isolated scope. Repeat engagements from the same main contractors are the closest thing we have to a reference that we did not ask a client to write.
Credentials & compliance
A registered, compliant Saudi establishment you can verify with confidence.
Frequently asked
Do you subcontract any of your five capabilities, or self-perform all of them?
We self-perform all five — architectural finishing, external & facade works, MEP works, structural works, and supervision & consultancy — under one accountable team, rather than passing packages to a chain of subcontractors.
Can you work as a subcontractor to our own main contractor?
Yes — most of our government and commercial project record is exactly this: finishing contractor to a main contractor, coordinating our programme, submittals and QA records with theirs rather than running the whole site.
Do you only take on large government or institutional projects?
No — our published record runs from ministry, university and hospital work down to private villas and a residential compound, held to the same standard regardless of scale.
How is quality actually checked on site, not just promised in a proposal?
Inspection and sign-off are built into the programme at each trade handover, run by a dedicated support-engineering function — not a single final walkthrough before handover.
What happens if a defect shows up after handover?
Tell your technical contact directly and it gets assessed and actioned — the specific terms depend on your contract, which our technical team will confirm with you before work starts rather than leaving it vague.
Why should we choose you over a lower quote from another contractor?
We won't tell you a lower quote is automatically wrong — but our own buyer's guide flags exactly what a dramatically lower price usually means: a corner cut somewhere hard to inspect after handover. Ask any contractor, including us, the same scope, classification and paperwork questions before deciding.
