Construction documents,
built for Saudi.
Purpose-built for Saudi construction projects — from WIR to final approval, tracked, auditable, and fast.
Construction in Saudi runs on paper — or on software hosted abroad.
Site engineers re-sign documents by hand. Project managers chase signatures across floors. Foreign platforms can’t serve Arabic, can’t price for the local market, and can’t keep data in-Kingdom.
Paper-bound workflows
WIRs buried in filing cabinets. NCRs tracked on paper logs. Approvals stuck waiting on a signature three floors away. Engineers spend more time recreating lost paper than doing engineering.
Foreign software, foreign cloud
Aconex and Procore are the alternative. Enterprise pricing, hosted outside the Kingdom, no Arabic support, and built for projects nothing like the housing pipeline Vision 2030 is delivering.
No local fit
Per-seat or per-ACV pricing in USD. English-only training. Workflow templates from US/AU/UK construction. Adoption stalls at the site office.
Customers complain about having to spend so much time signing paper, preparing paper, recreating lost paper. Founder discovery interviews, Saudi construction PMs
We mirror the existing workflows digitally.
Mutamad replaces the paper trail with a single platform that matches how Saudi construction teams already work — contractor to consultant to client, every step tracked, every deadline enforced.
From WIR to final approval — tracked, auditable, and fast. README · Mutamad
Every document type in the Saudi construction lifecycle.
17 document types, role-based workflows, automatic numbering, SLA enforcement, A/B/C/D response codes, Arabic UI, PDF + Excel exports — running on Saudi-hosted PostgreSQL.
Three forces just collided.
The Saudi construction sector is mid-execution on Vision 2030, the data-protection regime now regulates foreign-cloud workflows, and Arabic-first is no longer optional for site teams.
Vision 2030 is delivering homes right now.
The Housing Program targets 70% Saudi homeownership by 2030. It hit 65.4% by end-2024, beating its 65% interim target. The next five years are the construction wave.2
Saudi PDPL changed the cloud calculus.
SDAIA’s Regulation on Personal Data Transfer Outside the Kingdom (Aug 2024) requires risk assessments, contractual safeguards, and in some cases SDAIA approval to send Saudi project data abroad.5
Arabic-first is non-negotiable.
Site engineers reject translated UIs. Mutamad ships native Arabic copy with full RTL, not a machine translation bolted on — every form, every notification, every PDF.
A $196B construction sector, no local document platform.
We size the opportunity from the top: Saudi construction contract awards, narrowed to the software-addressable spend, narrowed again to what consultant-led GTM can realistically capture in three years.
Methodology: TAM grounded in published Saudi contract-award data. SAM derived from a published vertical-software forecast for KSA, cross-checked against the Procore pricing benchmark (≈0.1% of ACV). SOM modeled bottom-up from the consultant-led GTM motion.
≈ denotes modeled or derived figures.
Hard figures cite published sources (see references, slide 13).
The incumbents are global. We are Saudi.
The competition isn’t another local SaaS — it’s Aconex, Procore, and paper. Each loses on the dimensions that matter for Saudi housing projects.

Sell consultants. Onboard contractors automatically.
Land the consultant.
Target the 15–25 consultancy firms supervising Vision 2030 housing programmes. One LOI = one paying customer. Sales motion is in-person, in Riyadh, in Arabic.
Run the first project live.
The consultant runs one housing project on Mutamad end-to-end — WIR through to payment certificate. All contractors on that project onboard free during go-live.
Expand by project, not seat.
Every new project the consultant supervises adds 3–8 contractor firms to the platform — with their engineers, QC, and PMs already trained. The consultant becomes the distribution channel.
Pre-revenue. MVP shipped. Workflow engine complete.
What’s already shipped and running — the full Saudi construction document lifecycle, multi-org access, Arabic-first UI, and SLA enforcement on Saudi-hosted PostgreSQL:
One founder. Engineering-led. Pre-incorporation, by choice.
Mutamad has been built to feature-complete MVP by a single founder, in public, on a modern stack. TAQADAM is the moment to incorporate and run the first paid projects.
- Education BSc Computer Science
- Experience 1 year software engineering
- Dedication Part-time on Mutamad
- Location Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

- External investors None
What one engineer has shipped.
17 document types with multi-stage workflows, role-based permissions, multi-org project isolation, SLA enforcement, PDF/Excel exports, and an Arabic-first UI — on a modern TanStack Start / Prisma 7 / Postgres 17 stack, deployable on Saudi cloud.
The product was built carefully and is feature-complete for an MVP. What comes next is the legal entity, the first consultant LOI, and the AI lanes on top.
What TAQADAM unlocks for Mutamad.
From the application, verbatim: integrate AI into the system, cover server costs, and establish the legal entity. TAQADAM gives us the runway and the network to do all three.
Establish the legal entity.
Mutamad is currently pre-incorporation. TAQADAM provides the legal counsel and CR-registration support needed to stand up the Saudi operating entity so we can sign LOIs and invoice consultants in SAR.
Server runway.
Production hosting on Saudi cloud, plus AI-inference budget for the first paid projects. The cost curve is small but real, and we’d rather spend the first revenue on growth than on infrastructure.
Integrate AI on top of the workflow engine.
Auto-classify NCR severity. Summarize daily site reports. Draft contractor responses for engineer review. AI as the layer above the workflow we’ve already shipped — not the product itself.
Every Vision 2030 housing project,
on one Saudi-hosted platform.
Mutamad is the document and workflow system Saudi construction has been waiting for — Arabic-first, in-Kingdom, and priced for the local market.
