Mofarreh Al‑Harbi & Partners, under the leadership of CEO Marzouq Al‑Harbi, is spearheading Saudi Arabia’s transformation initiative by embracing smart infrastructure across its projects.
The leading Saudi-owned contractor is building digital innovation into mega-projects and national-scale infrastructure aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.
Smart Infrastructure: A National Priority
Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 has placed smart infrastructure at the forefront of its development agenda. Mofarreh Al‑Harbi & Partners is rising to the challenge by integrating advanced technologies, such as IoT sensors, real-time data analytics, and predictive maintenance, into traditional construction workflows.
This approach boosts efficiency on mega-projects and public infrastructure, minimizes delays, and improves safety outcomes. The firm has confirmed notable progress on giga-project sites, including NEOM and AMAALA, where digital tools enhance project management, material tracking, and on-site communications.
Expanding Footprint in Landmark Projects
Mofarreh Al-Harbi & Partners has secured key contracts in several high-profile development projects. Their ongoing work on NEOM and AMAALA underlines their strategic role in shaping futuristic urban spaces. By embedding smart systems into these gigaprojects, the company aligns itself with global best practices in infrastructure development.
Earlier partnerships include a notable agreement with Ma’aden in Turaif, announced eight months ago, which highlights a commitment to sustainable, tech-enabled infrastructure.
Leadership and Legacy
CEO Marzouq Al‑Harbi has framed the company’s direction, drawing inspiration from its foundational values. The firm’s heritage dates back to the 1970s, when Sheikh Marzouq Al‑Harbi, founder and father of the current CEO, initiated a fleet-oriented approach featuring durable equipment like Komatsu excavators and bulldozers.
Modern leadership under Marzouq has focused on upgrading this legacy with digital systems. The result? Infrastructure assets that are not just physically robust, but also digitally intelligent.
Strategic Partnerships Driving Growth
Mofarreh Al‑Harbi & Partners places strong emphasis on strategic supplier relationships. Their collaboration with Komatsu’s local distributor, Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery, ensures prompt spare parts delivery and responsive technical support, an essential resource when serious equipment breakdowns occur.
In parallel, the firm’s engagement with tech firm Techarabia, won in a 2024 deal, highlights a deliberate pivot toward digital solutions. That partnership enabled the deployment of smart monitoring tools across major job sites.
Recognition & Industry Standing
Mofarreh Al‑Harbi & Partners has earned multiple accolades reflecting both its national leadership and innovative edge:
- Top 30 Construction Firms in Saudi Arabia (2024) – A LinkedIn post celebrating the firm’s ranking underscores its quality and consistency.
- Trusted Partner by Construction Week Middle East – For contributions to national-scale infrastructure under Saudi Vision 2030, the firm recently received recognition from the publication.
- Named Key Vision 2030 Infrastructure Player – Included alongside NEOM, Red Sea Global, and Roshn, the firm was recognized as an essential partner in delivering transformative urban projects.
Focus on Sustainability and Fleet Modernisation
Aligned with the Saudi Giga-projects, Mofarreh Al‑Harbi & Partners invests in sustainability and technology for future-readiness. According to CEO Marzouq Al‑Harbi, expanding the company’s aging equipment fleet with newer, environmentally certified machinery supports productivity, safety, and emissions control demands.
Addressing supply chain disruptions, he emphasised that having local support networks and reliable equipment access are critical to project timelines. “Shortages of equipment can affect project schedules; we rely on Komatsu and Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery to mitigate risk,” he said.
Enhancing Workforce and Culture
Beyond hardware, Mofarreh Al‑Harbi & Partners is nurturing a workforce that blends construction expertise with cutting-edge technical skills. The company cultivates in‑house training programs that support its smart infrastructure goals, from digital literacy to IoT implementation.
Employee recognition and pride are evident in social media engagement. Staff comments on project announcements highlight morale and strong alignment with Vision 2030 values.
Looking Forward: A Vision for the Future
With momentum building, Mofarreh Al‑Harbi & Partners is poised to shape the next wave of urban development:
- Advanced deployment: Expansion of smart systems across civil works, utilities, and infrastructure networks.
- Digital twin readiness: Planning digital replicas of assets and sites for lifecycle management and scenario testing.
- Collaborative innovation: Joint R&D opportunities with tech integrators and traditional suppliers.
- Global visibility: Continued presence in influence rankings from Construction Week, reinforcing their reputation in giga‑projects.
As Saudi Arabia scales toward Vision 2030, Mofarreh Al‑Harbi & Partners is showcasing how legacy construction firms can pivot into tomorrow’s infrastructure leaders. By combining its heritage strength in heavy equipment with a growing arsenal of digital solutions, the firm is setting new benchmarks in efficiency, safety, and environmental stewardship.
Their strategy, built on smart systems, sustainable equipment, solid partnerships, and workforce development, spotlights a driving trend in global infrastructure: traditional builds are evolving into digital ecosystems. Mofarreh Al‑Harbi & Partners stands at the forefront of that evolution, deeply rooted in Saudi Arabia’s ambition to become a global tech-driven hub.
