Watad will be launching a new platform for developers at Big 5 Construct Saudi 2026

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Watad will participate in Big 5 Construct Saudi 2026, taking place from 30 August to 2 September 2026 at Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center, showcasing the continued development of its construction materials procurement and financing solutions while officially launching its new platform built specifically for real estate developers.

Watad’s participation reflects its growing role in transforming construction procurement in Saudi Arabia through a digital ecosystem that connects contractors and developers with a network of building materials suppliers and brings RFQs, quote comparison, purchasing, cash and deferred payment options, and supply tracking into one connected experience.

Giving developers portfolio-wide visibility and control

A key highlight of Watad’s presence at the event will be the official launch of its new platform for real estate developers, designed to address a major challenge across real estate portfolios: gaining clear and consistent visibility into contractor activity, procurement, costs, and project execution across multiple projects.

The platform enables developers to manage the project cycle from one place, starting with running tenders, evaluating contractors, and comparing bids, then continuing into real-time visibility over contractors’ actual material purchases, suppliers, and prices across the portfolio.

Watad also connects contractor submissions, engineering approvals, and financial approvals through a structured workflow, while turning real procurement and execution data into a more organized foundation for project financing opportunities.

At the same time, the platform can provide direct financing to contractors, helping maintain supply continuity and reducing the impact of payment cycles on project progress.

The result is clearer visibility into actual costs, stronger control over project margins, and better-informed decisions across individual developments and entire real estate portfolios.

A growing construction ecosystem

Watad’s ecosystem currently serves more than 650 contractors and real estate developers, with over 315 verified suppliers registered on the platform. Watad has been used across more than 200 construction projects, with over 1,100 requests submitted through the platform.

Throughout Big 5 Construct Saudi 2026, Watad will also host a series of activities reflecting the growth of its construction community, including a recognition ceremony honoring some of the top-performing contractors and suppliers on the platform.

The event will also feature the signing of new memoranda of understanding and strategic partnerships with industry stakeholders, aimed at further developing Watad’s platform, expanding its services, and strengthening the solutions available to contractors, developers, and suppliers across the Saudi market.

Visitors to Big 5 Construct Saudi 2026 will have the opportunity to meet Watad’s leadership team, explore the new developer platform, and learn more about the company’s approach to construction procurement and financing.
