Accredited engineering office in Riyadh — an overview
When you need an accredited engineering office in Riyadh to issue a building permit or regularise an existing building, choosing the right firm is the key step in avoiding delays and technical comments. STAR PLUS Engineering Consultancy offers a direct service for building permits and the regularisation of existing buildings, covering every part of Riyadh under the Saudi Building Code and Riyadh Region Municipality requirements.
Building permits
- New residential and commercial building permits.
- Drawings prepared to municipal requirements.
- Submission and follow-up until issuance.
- Technical comments resolved as they arise.

- As-built drawings matching the structure on site.
- Preparation and submission of the regularisation file.
- Solutions for buildings without a permit or with violations.
Building permit service
Our building permit service relies on accurate engineering preparation from day one: architectural and structural drawings are prepared to municipal requirements and the Saudi Building Code, reducing the chance of rejection or repeated revision requests.
- Study of the plot, title deed and site-specific municipal requirements.
- Architectural and structural drawings required for the permit application.
- Online submission and follow-up until the permit is issued.
- Coordination with the relevant bodies when further comments arise.
Permit timelines vary with the plot type, the district and the completeness of the owner’s documents.
Regularising existing buildings
Many owners face existing buildings without a formal permit, or with differences from the approved drawings. An accredited engineering office inspects the building and prepares a regularisation file that reflects the actual condition on site, ready for submission to the authorities.
- Site inspection documenting actual areas and setbacks.
- Comparison of the existing condition with the approved drawings, if any.
- As-built architectural and structural drawings.
- Technical report and regularisation file.
- Submission and follow-up until the regularisation is approved.
Working with an accredited engineering office at this stage protects you from future violations and makes later sale, financing or activity licensing much simpler.
