What Haif Company does

Haif Company (شركة هيف) is a privately held Saudi Arabian construction and contracting firm founded in 1976 and headquartered in Riyadh. It operates through three core service divisions — Buildings, Infrastructure (roads, bridges, tunnels, water and sanitation networks, rock blasting), and Energy & Communications (electrical substations up to 132 kV) — supplemented by wholly-owned manufacturing subsidiaries producing ready-mix concrete, aggregates, and asphalt. With 13,000 employees and engineers and a large heavy equipment fleet, Haif executes mega-projects for government ministries, state-owned enterprises, and Vision 2030 giga-project developers across all major Saudi regions.

The company's customer base is concentrated in the public sector and includes the Ministry of Health (King Fahd Hospital Jazan, Asir Central Hospital), Ministry of Housing, Ministry of Interior (King Abdullah Project for Development of Security Centers), Saudi Electricity Company, SALIC Group / National Grain Company (Yanbu Grain Handling Terminal), and Vision 2030 owners including NEOM, Qiddiya, Red Sea, Diriyah, King Salman Park, and AMAALA. Reported project metrics include 8 billion SAR in ongoing mega-projects and 18-30 billion SAR in completed mega-project value over its history (with conflicting figures between sources). The company is family-owned, with Sheikh Haif Bin Mohammed Bin Abboud Al-Qahtani as President and founder and family members in deputy general management roles.

Haif generates revenue through project-based construction contracts awarded via government procurement and direct enterprise sales, often through joint ventures with international partners such as Freyssinet and Fresini for Vision 2030 packages. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around one-time project awards. The vertically integrated manufacturing footprint — concrete plants in Khamis Mushait, Jeddah, Makkah, Jizan, and Al-Wusta; crushers in southern, central, and western regions; and asphalt plants across all regions — provides cost control on bulk materials and supports simultaneous execution of geographically dispersed projects. Distribution is single-country/domestic in Saudi Arabia, with no international footprint disclosed.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Saudi Binladin Group: Saudi Arabia's largest construction group with deep government relationships across buildings, infrastructure, and mega-projects. Direct competitor for the same Vision 2030 and ministry tenders Haif pursues, with materially larger scale and longer mega-project track record.
• Al-Bawani: Leading Saudi general contractor active across buildings, infrastructure, and industrial projects with strong government client base. Competes head-to-head with Haif on Vision 2030 mega-project packages and ministry contracts.
• El-Seif Engineering Contracting: Major Saudi contractor executing buildings, infrastructure, and specialized facilities for government clients. Comparable in scale and customer mix to Haif, frequently bidding on the same mega-project packages.
• Al-Rashid Trading & Contracting: Long-established Saudi general contractor with multi-decade track record across buildings, roads, and infrastructure. Competes with Haif for government tenders and shares similar vertically-integrated operating model.
• Nasser Al-Hajri Corporation: Saudi diversified contractor with capabilities spanning civil, mechanical, electrical, and oil & gas construction. Comparable to Haif in scope of services and government customer focus, including Vision 2030 project participation.
• Al Mabani General Contractors: Saudi general contractor with capabilities in buildings, infrastructure, and industrial projects for government clients. Direct peer in domestic bidding for Saudi ministry and mega-project tenders.

Broad incumbents

• Freyssinet: International specialty contractor (VINCI subsidiary) focused on structural works, post-tensioning, bridges, and complex infrastructure. Currently Haif's JV partner on the Qiddiya roads and bridges contract and a logical comparison point for technical capability rather than full-service contracting.
• VINCI Construction: Global infrastructure and building contractor with deep public-sector experience across transport, energy, and urban development. Relevant benchmark for Haif's joint-venture partner (Freyssinet) parent and for international mega-project execution standards.

Regional players

• Al Habtoor Group: UAE-based conglomerate with significant construction and infrastructure operations across the Gulf. Comparable in scale and end-market exposure to government-driven mega-projects, but operating primarily in UAE rather than Saudi Arabia.
• Arabtec Construction: UAE-headquartered contractor with regional mega-project experience including towers, infrastructure, and government buildings. Provides a Gulf regional comparison point for firms bidding on similar scale government work.
