New construction accounted for 81.2% of the Saudi construction market in 2025, reflecting the continued focus on expanding assets and new projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">Minutes<\/span><\/span>The Saudi construction sector witnessed a significant boost during the second quarter of 2026, with the value of awarded projects rising to approximately SAR 71.3 billion, an increase of SAR 421,000 compared to the first quarter, which recorded projects worth SAR 30.2 billion, according to data from the Saudi Contractors Authority.
