GroundWorks is a fresh startup — lean, agile, and hungry. But behind it sits nearly two decades of hands-on experience managing some of Saudi Arabia's most complex facilities and infrastructure projects.
We are actively seeking our first contracts — and we will outwork, outdeliver, and outthink anyone to earn them.
We don't try to do everything. We go deep on the two things we know best — building powerful operational software and managing facilities to a standard most companies only write about in their brochures.
Custom-built operational software designed for the real world — field teams, FM workflows, executive dashboards, and everything in between. We build what your business actually needs, not what looks good in a demo.
Hard and soft FM delivery for commercial offices, mixed-use facilities, and large-scale developments — backed by real operational experience on projects that most FM companies only read about in the news.
GroundWorks is new. The people behind it are not. Here is what we bring to every client engagement — not on paper, but earned on the ground.
19 years as Logistics and Accommodation Director at Nesma & Partners — one of KSA's largest contractors — managing hard and soft FM services, workforce housing, procurement, and operational logistics across the Kingdom's most high-profile Giga-Projects.
When you hire GroundWorks, you get a founding team that has already solved the problems you're facing — on a scale most FM companies have never operated at. We know what a 500-man camp mobilization looks like at 3am. We know what breaks in a PPM programme and why. We know how to write a bid that wins and deliver a contract that renews. We bring all of that, and the hunger of a startup that needs to prove itself.
Led full logistics, accommodation, and FM operations for one of NEOM's flagship developments — a 2,600m elevation mountain resort. Managed workforce housing, supply chain coordination, and multi-contractor camp operations in an extreme environment with zero existing infrastructure.
Oversaw hard and soft FM for workforce facilities supporting the Diriyah Gate mega-development — managing cleaning, maintenance, security, catering, and compliance across multiple accommodation camps in close coordination with DGDA requirements.
Managed full accommodation and logistics operations for construction workforce on one of Riyadh's largest urban development projects — 5.3 million sqm. Coordinated transport fleets, catering contracts, medical facilities, and real-time occupancy management.
Responsible for housing, feeding, and supporting over 15,000 construction workers across multiple labor camps during the peak delivery phase of the Riyadh Metro — one of the world's largest infrastructure projects at the time. Full NCEC environmental compliance management.
Designed and built a full-stack ERP system specifically for FM and construction operations — covering procurement, work orders, vendor management, employee self-service, and multi-tenant dashboards. This is the software backbone GroundWorks now offers to clients.
We are a new company and we say it proudly. We are focused on the Riyadh market and Qiddiya in particular — actively building relationships, tendering, and ready to mobilize fast.
The 334 km² entertainment capital of Saudi Arabia is ramping up construction and operational facilities. We are positioning for FM contracts covering workforce accommodation, office facilities, and site-level maintenance management.
Corporate offices, mixed-use towers, and commercial buildings across Riyadh require professional FM management. We are targeting mid-to-large contracts where our CAFM software capability gives us a clear operational edge over traditional providers.
FM companies, contractors, and real estate groups operating without a proper CAFM system are leaving efficiency and margin on the table. We deploy our proprietary platform in weeks, not months — with full local support.
Contractors and developers running critical operations on spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups. We build the custom tools — work order apps, procurement portals, inspection platforms — that bring those operations into the 21st century.
We are not yet on every shortlist. We intend to be.
As a startup, we offer something established FM companies cannot — genuine hunger, leadership-level attention on every contract, and a founding team with nothing to prove on paper and everything to prove in the field. Every job we land will be our reference. Every client we serve will be treated like our only one.
GroundWorks operates in direct partnership with Chedid Advisory — a boutique management consultancy founded by Elie Chedid, bringing 19+ years of senior FM and operations leadership across KSA's largest infrastructure programmes.
This means every GroundWorks client has access to not just delivery — but strategic advisory, bid intelligence, vendor frameworks, and operational expertise at a level that most standalone FM companies charge premium retainer rates for.
Have a scope, a tender, or just want to explore? Send us a message — we'll come back within 24 hours with a clear, substantive response. No sales pitch, no fluff.
We are a lean startup — which means when you reach out, you speak directly to the person who will be running your project. No account managers, no hand-offs, no delays.
