ALKHOBAR: Saudi Arabia’s real estate sector is entering a new phase of artificial intelligence adoption as large-scale developments move beyond digital experimentation and into day-to-day operations on construction sites.

Across the Kingdom’s built environment, developers and contractors are increasingly using AI to improve planning, optimize construction schedules and mitigate delays on complex projects.

The transition comes as Saudi Arabia accelerates the delivery of giga-projects and smart cities under Vision 2030, placing unprecedented pressure on developers, consultants and contractors to execute projects at a scale rarely seen in global real estate markets.

For Matthew Marson, managing director at JLL EMEA, the debate is no longer about whether AI has a role in real estate, but whether organizations can deploy it strategically enough to generate measurable outcomes.
