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.

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.
Pricing example. A SAR 100M housing project = SAR 100K/year, unlimited users, all 17 doc types. Benchmarked to Procore’s 0.1–0.2% of ACV — same shape, local currency, no per-seat tax.4
≈ 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.
| Native Arabic | In-Kingdom hosting | Per-project pricing in SAR | Built for housing workflows | Local support | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aconex (Oracle) | — | — | enterprise quote, USD | — | regional rep only |
| Procore | — | — | ≈0.1–0.2% of ACV, USD4 | — | remote |
| Paper / Email | yes | yes | free | slow, lossy | internal admin |
| Mutamad | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
No Arabic support, data isn’t hosted locally. Requires a dedicated employee to manage. The user’s own summary of Aconex / Procore in Saudi
Why we keep winning: Procore would need 18+ months to redesign workflows for Saudi housing and stand up in-Kingdom hosting. By then the consultant channel is locked in — local fit (Arabic, PDPL, SAR) plus consultant pull-through compound into a distribution moat.
20 conversations. Every one runs the same paper trail.
Discovery interviews across the three roles that touch every Saudi construction document — site engineers, project managers, and the document controllers who move paper between desks all day.

Insight: document controllers are the wedge.
They run the paper trail today and were the most emphatic in interviews. Win them and the rest of the firm follows — they’re the daily power-users of every workflow Mutamad ships.
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. The Garage is the moment to incorporate and run the first paid projects.

What one engineer has shipped, solo.
17 document types with multi-stage workflows, role-based permissions, multi-org project isolation, SLA enforcement, PDF/Excel exports, automatic numbering, audit trails, and a native Arabic UI — on a modern TanStack Start / Prisma 7 / Postgres 17 stack, deployable on Saudi cloud.

SaaS / GTM advisor — B2B operator with KSA enterprise sales experience.
First hires post-LOI — Arabic onboarding lead, then a sales lead with consultancy relationships.
What 12 months on the program unlocks.
Year 1 is for validation, not revenue. Three design-partner projects beats any contract chased before product-market fit.
Saudi entity incorporated.
Operating company live with CR registration, ready to sign LOIs and invoice in SAR. The program covers legal and registration runway; we sign the first paying customer the day the entity is live.
First project running live.
One consultancy firm runs one Vision 2030 housing project end-to-end on Mutamad — WIR through payment certificate. Design-partner pricing, full feedback cycle, AI v1 in pilot.
3 projects, 2 firms, AI shipped.
Three housing projects live across two consultancies. NCR triage + daily-report summarization in production. Year 2 expansion playbook validated by real users, not by slide.
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.
