Building Permits for Factories & Industrial Facilities
Overview

What is this service?

Issuance of building permits for factories and industrial facilities inside the industrial cities of the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (Modon). ABAK designs the facility to Modon's building requirements manual, obtains preliminary environmental clearance from the National Center for Environmental Compliance, files the application through the Modon/Balady platforms, and coordinates between the authorities — Modon, the municipality and Civil Defense — until the permit is in hand and construction can start.

Why do you need this service?

A prerequisite before any factory construction can begin inside an industrial city.

A design that meets Modon's requirements avoids drawing rejections and project delays.

Links the project to its environmental clearance and impact classification.

Paves the way for the operating licence and for electricity and water connection.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Service

How do I license a factory inside an industrial city?

The process starts with studying the industrial plot, the activity type and Modon's requirements, then obtaining preliminary environmental clearance, designing the facility to the requirements manual, and filing through the Modon and Balady platforms with coordination between authorities until the permit is issued.

What are the main building requirements in industrial cities?

Modon is strict on details such as setbacks, truck routes, loading and storage zones, ventilation and safety systems. Meeting those details from the design stage is what prevents the drawings being rejected.

Do I need environmental clearance before licensing?

Yes — preliminary environmental clearance is obtained from the National Center for Environmental Compliance according to the activity's environmental impact classification, and the subsequent licensing steps are tied to it.

What is the difference between the building and operating permits at Modon?

The building permit authorises construction of the facility to the approved drawings, while the operating permit is issued after construction is complete, safety systems inspected and hazardous materials disclosed — and it is the condition for operating the factory lawfully.
