RIYADH: The Saudi Council of Engineers has launched an online portal that helps clients who want to hire an engineering company to find registered businesses that can provide the services they require in specific areas of the Kingdom, along with an indication of the rates they charge for specific types of work.
The portal, at saudieng.sa, provides details of the providers of services such as surveying consultancy, design contracts, boundary supervision, and turnkey contracts.
Abdel Nasser Al-Abdul Latif, the council’s secretary-general, said the new service will enhance competition and transparency among service providers. He added that the SCE continues to work to regulate the engineering sector in the Kingdom, and improve the efficiency of digital services to make it easier for potential clients to find council-registered firms that meet their requirements.
