What we do

Five disciplines. One team. One standard.

Designation builds, designs, manufactures and installs from its base in Al Khobar. Whether you need one piece of joinery built exactly to drawing, an empty shell handed over finished, or a building taken from groundwork to handover, the same team is accountable for the result.

Build, Manage, Deliver

General Contracting

For projects that start before the interior does. Designation works as general contractor across the Eastern Province and the wider Kingdom, taking responsibility for the whole build: structural and civil works, blockwork and partitions, MEP coordination, and the day-to-day site management that keeps a project on programme. Because finishing, joinery and fit-out sit with the same team, the building is handed over complete, with one accountable contractor from mobilisation to handover.

Not sure where to start?

Tell us where your project is today.

Most enquiries fall into one of four situations. Pick the one that sounds like yours and we will take it from there.

I already have a designer and approved drawings.

You need a workshop that builds exactly what is on the sheet, on time, and installs it without damaging the finished site. That is our core trade.

Start with Custom Woodwork

I know what I want, but nothing is on paper yet.

We turn the brief into a concept, photorealistic 3D visuals and shop drawings you can approve with confidence, then build from the same files.

Start with Interior Design

I have an empty shell and a deadline.

One contract, one team and one schedule covering design, manufacturing, site works and handover. You deal with a single point of contact.

Start with a Turnkey Project

I have a plot and approved plans, and need it built.

You need one contractor to run the structure, the trades and the site programme, and then finish the building instead of handing it on. We carry it from groundwork to handover.

Start with General Contracting

Ask on WhatsApp
What services does Designation offer?

We provide custom woodwork and joinery, interior design, turnkey fit-out, architectural metal and glass works, and general contracting for residential, commercial, and retail projects — from groundwork and structure to manufacturing, installation, and handover.

Do you manufacture in-house?

Yes. Timber selection, joinery, and finishing happen in our own workshop in Sinayiat Al Thuqba, Al Khobar, so the team that draws the piece is the team that builds and installs it.

Where is Designation located?

We are based in Al Khobar (Sinayiat Al Thuqba) and deliver projects across the Eastern Province and throughout Saudi Arabia.

Do you handle full turnkey fit-out projects?

Yes. We manage the complete scope — design, custom manufacturing, on-site execution, and final handover — so you deal with a single accountable team.

Do you take on general contracting and new builds?

Yes. We work as general contractor on villas, residential buildings, and commercial projects — structural and civil works, blockwork, MEP coordination, and site management — and carry the same project through finishing and handover, so there is no gap between the builder and the fit-out team.

How long does a typical project take?

Timelines depend on scope, but most custom woodwork and fit-out projects run between 4 and 12 weeks. Construction projects run longer and are programmed against the approved drawings. We confirm a precise schedule after the site survey.
