Each division of AlKifah Holding works in seamless synergy, creating a powerhouse that tackles projects of any scale and complexity. This integrated approach isn't just convenient, it guarantees successful project delivery, aligned with Saudi Vision 2030's emphasis on operational excellence.
"We believe in our synergy. By combining our skills and leveraging the strengths of our sister companies, we can deliver optimal projects," Eng Osama AlAfaleq, Vice-Chairman of AlKifah Holding, tells Gulf Construction in an exclusive interview.
"Our clients can trust that we will serve them comprehensively through construction, concrete and precast supply, facility management, and more."

AlAfaleq acknowledges the cyclical nature of the construction industry and highlights the significant changes underway in Saudi Arabia. Since 2017, the Saudi Contracting Authority (SCA) - where AlAfaleq served as chairman for six years has worked to make construction processes more transparent and equitable for all stakeholders.
