Notes specific to the Saudi market
- Labour is a larger share of the cost than in Egypt, so labour rates are an important negotiation item.
- Air-conditioning is essential in every unit; drainage rough-in is in the BOQ but the units themselves are not.
- New apartments in Riyadh are often delivered finished by the developer; the figures here are for plastered units or a complete re-finish.
- Prices are in SAR and updated from a database independent of the Egyptian one.

What separates the four levels
The level changes the materials, not the quantities: the same metres and the same number of points, but ceramic becomes porcelain, Moski wood becomes Azizi or Aro, the Chinese door becomes Turkish and the sanitary ware moves up a grade. That is why the gap between Economy and Ultra reaches roughly 70% on the same apartment.
How the number is calculated
Tashteeby doesn't just apply an "average per metre". The engine takes the unit's area and the number of rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and balconies and turns them into real quantities — square metres of floor and wall, electrical points and sockets, metres of pipe, doors and windows — then multiplies each quantity by the current market price of the material and labour.
Prices are Riyadh market averages collected and refreshed periodically by the OZ team in the Tashteeby price database; the same prices sync to the app and the website. Last update: . The figures on this page refresh automatically with every price update.
They are estimated averages for budgeting and negotiation — not a contractor's quote. Actual prices vary with the unit's condition, the brands you choose, the area and timing.
