Experts agree that the success of finishing projects in Saudi Arabia is driven by Vision 2030.
<Experts agree that the success of finishing projects depends on balancing the quality of materials, adhering to the schedule, and controlling costs.
They also emphasize the importance of having a clear design vision from the beginning, while selecting qualified staff, designers and contractors who are able to implement it realistically and efficiently.
Abdul Latif Hijazi: Creative design is the gateway to excellence in finishes
<Abdul Latif Omar Hijazi, project manager for S.N.C Contracting, believes that achieving the equation between aesthetics and quality requires adopting creative design ideas that rely on unconventional materials of high quality. He explains that innovative and out-of-the-box designs give spaces an artistic and functional dimension at the same time, making them more attractive and inspiring.
Hijazi emphasizes the importance of executing construction work on a sound basis, with effective cooperation and coordination between all parties involved, from the interior designer and architect, to the implementation teams and workers, to the site engineer. He emphasizes that this coordination ensures the achievement of a unified vision for the project, and ultimately reflects on the quality and accuracy of the finishes, to the satisfaction of all parties.
<He emphasizes that finishing is not a separate phase from construction, but rather the project is seen as one integrated block. He explains that he follows the project from the moment he starts digging until the handover of the key, emphasizing that the success of finishing is closely related to the safety of construction and the quality of execution from the beginning. He believes that the lack of coordination between the construction and finishing plans leads to major errors and additional costs.
He acknowledges that the market is facing challenges. <He acknowledges that the market is already facing a shortage of skilled and experienced labor, especially in light of the continuous evolution of the design and finishing sector. He explains that the trend towards non-traditional modern designs and the emergence of new materials has made it necessary for those working in the field to acquire new skills to keep up with innovations.
Hijazi concludes.
<Hegazy concludes his talk with advice to clients, emphasizing that the first and most important step in any project is to choose the right designer who has the ability to embody the client's ideas realistically, taking into account the available possibilities. He warns against getting carried away by imported designs that may not fit with the local environment and culture.
He also emphasizes the importance of carefully selecting the contractor and supervisor, stressing that success is linked to the triad of "cost - time - quality", and that the balance between these elements is the key to the success of any project.
Samir points out: Quality of materials and unity of source. Key to success
<Samir explains that ready-made finishing works, such as interior and exterior fixtures, are one of the most prominent elements that add clear aesthetic touches. He points out that there are companies that specialize in designing the futuristic design to meet the special requirements of each project according to the customer's vision.
<Finishing is usually separate from the main construction, explaining that there are specialized teams for each phase. While the construction team handles the main construction, another specialized team handles the finishes. This separation ensures that every aspect of the project is carried out by specialized professionals, which contributes to the final quality.
He emphasizes the shortage of labor. <He emphasizes that the shortage of skilled labor is a real challenge, explaining that relying on untrained labor often leads to errors that need to be fixed later, which raises costs and increases construction time. Selecting skilled labor from the outset is an essential element to ensure quality implementation."
Nour Ahmed: Quality starts with managing and protecting resources
Nour Ahmed, Quality Manager at Komati, emphasizes that this balance depends on good management of the resources used in the finishes and making sure they are taken care of throughout the process.
<Ahmed believes that the proper timing of each phase is one of the most important requirements for success, emphasizing the need to protect glass and sensitive surfaces to avoid any damage. He also emphasizes that having the project handled by experienced and competent people is a crucial factor in achieving satisfactory results.
Nour Ahmed emphasizes that the right timing of each phase is the most important requirement for success. <Noor Ahmed emphasizes that the final finishes cannot be separated from the basic structure of the building, but rather the construction is the base on which the success of the finishes rests. The more accurate and sound the construction work is, the better the quality of the finishes.
Acknowledging that the lack of skilled labor is one of the main challenges, he considers the availability of trained labor to be the cornerstone of quality finishes, as well as their contribution to efficient and professional work.
Mohammed Abu Aziza: Green building and healthy finishes
While Mohammed Abu Aziza, director of specifications at National Paints, believes that the aesthetic touch is directly related to the taste of the customer himself, as he is allowed to choose colors and shapes that reflect his personality. The quality is the responsibility of the implementing companies, explaining that the products used in the finishes must be environmentally friendly and healthy to ensure the safety of residents, in line with the Kingdom's Vision 2030.
Abu Aziza emphasizes that the role of paints is not limited to the aesthetic aspect only, but extends to protection, as paint layers provide effective protection for different surfaces.
Abu Aziza emphasizes that the role of paints is not limited to the aesthetic aspect only, but extends to protection. <He explains that the company provides the latest types of interior and exterior paints, with a wide range of colors that give the customer freedom of choice. The products are characterized by high adhesion and resistance to heat and dust, ensuring their longevity.
He adds
He adds that the Kingdom is currently adopting green building standards (LEED), which mandates the reduction or elimination of lead in the paints used, which contributes to reducing harmful emissions and promoting environmental sustainability.
