BaghdadiLaw’s experience in construction contracts and project claims in Saudi Arabia
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to construction contracts and project claims, connecting the legal work to the matter it must address. Construction contract claims in Saudi Arabia should follow the obligation affected: changed work, completion time, payment or quality. This section organises those claims before choosing negotiation, a contractual determination or arbitration. A project-wide dispute benefits from item-by-item analysis before totals are combined.
The executed contract and applicable Saudi obligations framework control the analysis, with public-procurement rules where relevant. Contract amendments and document priority should be checked before relying on standard-form wording. A replacement procurement law was published on 4 September 2026 with commencement 120 days after publication; it is not yet effective on this review date. Check project timing and transition rules before applying the replacement. Keep contractual entitlement separate from the size of the claim. Accurate costs do not prove responsibility, and a justified event does not prove every cost allocated to it.
We agree the work your matter needs: Use delay review for completion impact, payment review for the account and general construction review for mixed issues; assess arbitration when the dispute clause and stage support it. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A claim-item index and evidence plan connecting each event to its contractual basis and requested result.

Before requesting advice on construction contracts and project claims in Saudi Arabia
What makes a construction claim reviewable?+
A defined event, the clause relied on, its effect and the records supporting the requested time or money. A narrative of project difficulties without that connection does not explain entitlement.
Can claims share evidence?+
Yes, but explain the relevance to each claim and avoid counting the same cost or delay twice.
What if the final account is unsigned?+
Identify agreed items, disputed items and the contractual finalisation process rather than treating the whole account as admitted or rejected.
