With more than 15 years of experience, Spacemaker KSA is a leader in modular solutions across Saudi Arabia and beyond. We speak to Mohammed Amro, General Manager, to learn more about the company’s illustrious history and innovative plans for the future.
FROM CONCEPT TO CONSTRUCTION
Providing the highest quality solutions, ultimate customer satisfaction, and timely execution, Spacemaker KSA is a market leader in the construction industry whose vast portfolio of innovative products caters to every building demand.
Founded in 2009 as a small operation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Spacemaker KSA is proud to have grown into a leading manufacturer and erector of steel frames, modular buildings, and knock down structures in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
In the company’s early years, it operated out of a modest factory with a small team dedicated to producing prefabricated buildings.
Despite the challenges of operating in a competitive market, Spacemaker KSA’s focus on quality, attention to detail, and a customer-centric approach allowed it to carve a lucrative niche in the highly fragmented KSA construction market.
The real turning point was when the company made a strategic decision to expand beyond traditional prefabricated buildings, recognising a growing demand for modular construction solutions across the wider region and investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies.
“With an eye on the future, we adopted advanced modular building manufacturing techniques, streamlining the production process, reducing waste, and improving efficiency,” opens Mohammed Amro, General Manager.
“These adaptations also allowed us to become a pioneer in sustainability, implementing green building practices and eco-friendly materials in our modular solutions.”
The company’s ability to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient buildings in record time has been a key factor in its continued success and ability to handle more complex projects whilst maintaining the high-quality standards that serve to differentiate it.
“Today, Spacemaker KSA is not just another construction company – it’s a regional leader in the manufacturing and erection of modular buildings, known for its ability to deliver fast, customised, and sustainable solutions,” prides Amro.
By embracing innovation, personalising projects, and focusing on long-term relationships, the company has consistently outperformed its competitors in terms of both client satisfaction and project delivery.
FAST-TRACK MODULAR SOLUTIONS
Having initially focused on prefabricated modular manufacturing servicing needs for temporary facilities within the oil and gas sector, Spacemaker KSA has worked through the combined efforts of its team to shift to a wider range of off-site construction solutions.
Today, the company boasts over 1,000 team members who offer wider solutions through four verticals – prefabricated modular, modular buildings, pods, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) modular systems.
“Our commitment to speed, customisation, sustainability, and technology-driven efficiency has allowed us to carve out a niche in an otherwise crowded marketplace,” details Amro.
“Clients trust us to not only meet their construction needs but go above and beyond expectations, creating lasting value and building strong partnerships along the way.”
Having been excited by the construction industry from a young age, Amro finds that the current trends, innovations, and evolving challenges make the field both stimulating and impactful.
“I was drawn to construction techniques and knew I was destined for a career in the industry. The daily challenges keep me energised, and my passion for this field has only grown stronger as we’ve built Spacemaker KSA into what it is today,” he expands.
Having joined the company in 2011 as a founding team member bringing off-site construction technology into the region, Amro has progressed to lead a dedicated team with a vision to make Spacemaker KSA the region’s premier provider of all-inclusive off-site solutions.
“Together, we are close to reaching SAR1 billion in revenue whilst remaining committed to setting new industry standards, driving progress, and meeting the evolving needs of our clients,” he asserts.
Amro’s journey has offered him unique insights into market needs and how Spacemaker KSA can evolve to meet them, resulting in the company successfully developing innovations that have been key to its growing portfolio.
DURABLE, LIGHTER, FASTER
With a vision of becoming the leading supplier of modular construction solutions in the Middle East, Spacemaker KSA sets the standard for innovation, sustainability, and excellence within the industry.
The company sees modular construction as the future of the built environment, offering unmatched flexibility, efficiency, and sustainability in the design and delivery of buildings across diverse sectors.
In such a competitive industry, Spacemaker KSA believes the best way to differentiate itself is by thinking differently, investing in innovation, and prioritising the needs of its clients.
“It’s not just about building structures; it’s about building trust, relationships, and a legacy of excellence,” declares Amro.
The company is furthering this dedication and reputation for success through its various projects, such as NEOM and the construction of a new factory.
Both of these endeavours are pivotal to the growth trajectory of Spacemaker KSA, with the former representing a rare opportunity for the company to be involved in a transformative megaproject and contribute its expertise in modular construction and steel frame solutions to help build a futuristic, sustainable city.
The new factory, meanwhile, serves as a crucial investment in the company’s manufacturing capabilities, enabling it to meet increasing demand, drive innovation, and position itself as a pioneer in the regional modular construction market.
“Together, these projects align with our vision of becoming a leader in modular solutions, enhancing our ability to deliver high-quality, sustainable buildings quickly and efficiently whilst reinforcing our commitment to supporting Saudi Vision 2030 and contributing to the economic diversification of the KSA,” expands Amro.
Additionally, the company’s strategic geographic facility in Dammam provides a distinct advantage, as the city offers accessibility in terms of logistics that allows Spacemaker KSA to better service its project needs around the region.
MANUFACTURING A SOLID FUTURE
Spacemaker KSA has prioritised utilising eco-friendly products since its inception, recognising the importance of implementing environmentally-friendly practices for both the longevity of the company and the people who enable it to continue to progress.
“We are dedicated to being more than just a business – we are committed to making a lasting, positive impact on the environment, society, and our workforce,” explains Amro.
The company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives reflect its values of sustainability, innovation, and integrity, which guide the company as it builds a better future for the communities it serves.
Through its ongoing efforts, Spacemaker KSA aims to create long-term social value, ensure its business practices benefit future generations, and remain a responsible corporate citizen in the MENA region and beyond.
“By continuing to invest in sustainable practices, empowering people, and giving back to our neighbourhoods, we will maintain our position as a leader not just in the construction industry but in CSR,” enthuses Amro.
As the company looks ahead to a prosperous future, it is focused on expanding its market reach, continuing its innovation efforts, and strengthening its commitment to sustainability and client satisfaction.
Through strategic growth, operational excellence, and an emphasis on employee development and strong partnerships, Spacemaker KSA aims to solidify its position as a regional leader in modular construction.
“Our ultimate goal is to meet the growing demand for flexible, sustainable, and cost-effective building solutions whilst also creating value for our clients, employees, and communities,” he concludes.
