Delivering precision-engineered mechanical, electrical, and plumbing solutions for complex infrastructure projects across Riyadh and the Kingdom.
Structural integrity provides the skeleton, but MEP systems provide the life. As a top-tier MEP contractor in Riyadh, Dar Anan specializes in the design, installation, and maintenance of high-performance Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems for industrial and commercial sectors.
Our engineering team ensures that every system is optimized for energy efficiency, ease of maintenance, and long-term reliability. We adhere strictly to local regulations (SBC) and international standards (IPC, NEC, NFPA), delivering compliant and sustainable solutions for Saudi Arabia's growing infrastructure.

MV/LV power distribution, substations, generators, switchgear, and lighting systems.
Before a single pipe is installed, every MEP system on a Riyadh project must be coordinated — mechanically, electrically, and structurally — to avoid costly on-site clashes. Dar Anan produces full MEP coordination drawing packages for commercial, industrial, and hospitality projects across Riyadh, covering all disciplines in a single coordinated set.
Coordination drawings are required by Riyadh municipality for building permit approvals and are reviewed by Civil Defence as part of the fire safety submission. Submitting uncoordinated or incomplete drawings is one of the most common causes of permit delays on projects in the Kingdom.
Ceiling voids in commercial buildings carry HVAC ductwork, drainage runs, electrical cable trays, fire suppression pipework, and low-current conduit — all competing for the same space. Without coordinated drawings, trades install independently and clashes are discovered on-site, at full labour and materials cost.
On a mid-scale commercial project in Riyadh, resolving undetected clashes typically adds 3 to 6 weeks to the programme and SAR 80,000 to SAR 250,000 in remediation cost. Coordination drawings eliminate this risk before it materialises.
Discuss Your ProjectMEP is the lifeblood of any modern Saudi structure. We provide flawless, integrated engineering of massive HVAC, electrical grids, and complex plumbing networks.
Using advanced 3D collision detection to map complex ductwork and conduits long before physical installation begins.
Engineering extreme-capacity cooling infrastructure specifically designed to conquer the brutal peak temperatures of Riyadh summers.
Executing master-planned electrical distribution that maximizes efficiency and prevents catastrophic peak-load failures.
A systematic approach to complex engineering challenges.
Our in-house engineers use BIM technology to create clash-free designs and detailed shop drawings before any work begins properly.
Sourcing high-quality equipment and materials from trusted global manufacturers, ensuring timely delivery to site.
Precise installation of mechanical and electrical components, followed by seamless integration of control systems.
Rigorous testing of every system to ensure it meets performance parameters and safety standards before handover.
We deploy our specialized MEP engineering teams across Riyadh's rapidly growing commercial and residential hubs. Our deep understanding of infrastructure requirements in these areas ensures seamless execution and compliance.

MEP engineering is universal. Cooling loads, code compliance, water supply and the inspection regime are not. These are the conditions that shape every services package we deliver here.
Riyadh summer design conditions sit in the mid-forties, and a building's cooling plant is sized against that, not against an annual average. Undersize it and the building fails in July; oversize it and the client pays twice, in capital cost and in poor part-load efficiency. Getting the load calculation right is the single most consequential decision in a Saudi MEP package.
The energy conservation provisions of the Saudi Building Code govern insulation, glazing performance and lighting power density. They interact directly with the cooling load, which is why the envelope and the mechanical design have to be resolved together rather than in sequence.
Fire protection, detection, alarm and emergency lighting are reviewed and certified by Saudi Civil Defence under SBC 801, on a separate submission and inspection from Amanat Ar-Riyadh. That certificate gates occupancy, so it belongs at the front of the programme.
Riyadh's dust loading affects filter selection, air handling unit access, condenser coil fouling and the sealing of ceiling voids. A specification written for a temperate climate will be fighting blocked filters within months and losing condenser efficiency within a year.
Many buildings depend on tanker deliveries alongside the mains, so storage tank capacity, pump selection, and the pipework to serve them are part of the design rather than an afterthought. On villas and compounds in particular this is sized for the household, not defaulted.
The midday outdoor work ban runs 12:00 to 15:00 from 15 June to 15 September, and Ramadan brings a six-hour working day for Muslim workers. Rooftop plant, external condensers and any craneage have to be programmed around both.
Dar Anan has delivered MEP in Riyadh since 2002, on our own projects and as a services package for others. Send us the drawings or the load brief and we will come back with a coordinated scope and a programme.

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing: HVAC plant, ductwork and controls; low-voltage distribution from the substation to the final circuit; domestic water, drainage and pump sets; fire protection, detection and alarm; and the low-current systems — data, CCTV, access control and BMS. It also covers the parts that decide whether it works: coordinated shop drawings, builder's work openings, testing and commissioning, and the as-built drawings and O&M manuals the authorities and the facilities team need at handover.
Because most delay and rework on a building sits in the gap between the main contractor and the MEP subcontractor. When services are subcontracted, the ceiling void becomes a negotiation: the ductwork, the containment, the sprinkler branch and the lighting all want the same 400 millimetres, and the argument happens on site after the slab is poured. Our mechanical and electrical teams sit inside the business, so that coordination happens on a drawing before anything is installed.
Yes. Services are coordinated against the architectural and structural models before first fix, with builder's work openings issued to the structural engineer in time to be cast rather than cut afterwards. Core drilling through a finished slab to fix a clash is expensive, slow, and occasionally a structural problem.
Cooling load first — in this climate HVAC is usually the single largest element, and it is driven by the building envelope, the glazing ratio and the occupancy density rather than by floor area alone. After that: how much of the base-build capacity you can actually use, the specification of plant and controls, whether the building needs redundancy or standby power, and the extent of low-current systems. We price from a load calculation and a scope, not a rate per square metre.
Yes. Drawings are stamped and submitted by Saudi Council of Engineers registered engineers, and we manage the municipality and Saudi Civil Defence submissions, attend the inspections and close out the comments. The Civil Defence certificate is a condition of occupancy, so it is programmed from the start rather than chased at the end.
Yes, and it is more common than people expect. It begins with a survey of what has actually been installed against what was drawn, because on a distressed package those two things have usually diverged. We produce a condition report and a remedial scope before pricing the completion, so the liability boundary is clear.
