Omrania had the privilege to contribute to buildingSMART Saudi Arabia, with our Head of Digital Delivery, Antoine Abou Slaiby, joining the panel discussion “BIM has come a long way” at Building Smart KSA 2025.
The session brought together industry leaders, including Mohammad Aldawood, Director of Building Information Modelling at Red Sea Global; Dr Yasser Almutiri, Sr. Engineering Director at Saudi Binladin Group (SBG); and Andrew Tabash, Regional Manager Middle East at Thinkproject.
The discussion explored BIM’s transformation from a design tool to a comprehensive platform driving efficiency across project lifecycles. Key insights emerged around data integration, collaborative workflows, and the technology’s role in supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 construction objectives.
Antoine shared perspectives on digital delivery methodologies and how integrated BIM processes enhance project coordination while reducing traditional construction challenges. The conversation highlighted practical applications currently reshaping project delivery standards across the Kingdom’s major developments.
The panel addressed implementation strategies that construction teams are adopting to leverage BIM capabilities beyond modeling, focusing on data-driven decision making and enhanced stakeholder coordination throughout project phases.
