What Omrania does

Omrania (& Associates) is a Saudi Arabia-headquartered architecture and engineering consultancy founded in 1973, offering integrated design services spanning architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, interior design, structural and MEP engineering, civil engineering, transportation engineering, value engineering, quantity surveying, construction tendering, and construction site supervision. The firm operates as a one-stop multidisciplinary platform, delivering projects from feasibility through construction administration, with documented specialization in desert-climate design, culturally contextual Islamic architecture, and LEED-certified sustainable buildings — including the KAFD Fire Station, the world's first fire station to achieve LEED Platinum v4 certification.

The firm is privately held, employs 501-1,000 people, and operates from Riyadh (headquarters at Waha Office Building, Sulimaniyah) and Amman, Jordan, with project reach across 16 countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. Omrania generates revenue through project-based professional services fees negotiated per engagement, with business won via direct commissions, government tenders, and international design competitions. Its client base is heavily skewed toward Saudi government and quasi-government entities (Riyadh Municipality, Arriyadh Development Authority, KAFD DMC, King Salman Park Foundation, Ministry of Housing, GOSI) supplemented by major private-sector clients including Saudi Aramco, Kingdom Holding, and Al Fozan.

Since 2025, Omrania has operated as a member studio of the 10N Collective, a global design network created by French engineering conglomerate Egis Group. The affiliation provides strategic backing, cross-border project access, and an expanded global design footprint, while the firm retains its standalone brand and Saudi operational identity. Omrania has won multiple international awards, including the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, and is positioned as a primary delivery partner for Saudi Vision 2030 mega-projects.
