Quantity Surveying and Remote Technical Office for Contractors in Saudi Arabia: Take-offs, Civil 3D and As-Built
Many contractors and surveyors in the Kingdom have strong field crews, but the technical office cannot keep up with the data: survey points pile up, quantities are needed for the next invoice, and as-built drawings are due before handover. That is where EL EMAN comes in: you send us the survey data from your site in Saudi Arabia, and we deliver drawings and tables on the KSA-GRF17 reference frame and the correct UTM zone.
What we deliver
We work on your data with the same software technical offices use on major projects: Autodesk Civil 3D, AutoCAD, ArcGIS Pro, Sokkia Link and Land Desktop.
- Surfaces, contours and topographic drawings from survey points
- Cut and fill quantities between existing and design surfaces, with section tables
- Long and cross sections for roads, channels and utilities
- As-built drawings for buildings, networks and roads
- Quantity take-offs to support and check payment certificates
- Spatial databases and GIS maps in ArcGIS Pro
Quantity surveying and take-off outsourcing in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Khobar
Contractors use our remote team as an outsourced quantity surveyor: we take off quantities from drawings and survey data, prepare bills of quantities, and check the quantities in subcontractor and main-contract payment certificates. Because the work is done on files, it serves projects in any city in the Kingdom.
- Quantity take-offs from DWG and PDF drawings
- Bills of quantities and measurement sheets in Excel
- Earthwork quantities from existing and design surfaces
- Checking payment certificates and variation quantities
- Estimating support for tenders: quantities ready for pricing
What you send us
No special preparation is needed; we work with the files as they come from site.
- Point files in CSV or TXT, or total station and GNSS exports
- DWG or DXF files of the design or earlier surveys
- Approved or design drawings in PDF for checking
- The project coordinate system (for example KSA-GRF17 with UTM 37N, 38N or 39N)
Who it is for
It suits main contractors and subcontractors who need flexible technical support instead of a permanent technical office team, surveyors who want to focus on fieldwork, and consultants who need quantities or drawings checked quickly. Support can be one-off or continuous for the life of the project.
How it works
- Send the dataSend the files by WhatsApp or email, with a description of the work and the coordinate system.
- Review and quoteWe review the data and reply with the expected outputs, time and cost.
- Processing and checksWe process the data and check the results against the drawings before delivery.
- DeliveryYou receive DWG, PDF and Excel files, with the agreed review changes.

Project recordFAQ
Can technical office work for a Saudi project be done from Egypt?
Yes. Drafting, quantity calculation and survey data processing are done on digital files and can be fully remote. Work that needs official approval in the Kingdom goes through a licensed party there.
Which coordinate system do you deliver on?
The national KSA-GRF17 reference frame with the right UTM zone for the site, or any local system the project specifies.
Which software do you use?
Autodesk Civil 3D, AutoCAD, ArcGIS Pro, Sokkia Link and Land Desktop, delivered in formats your technical office opens directly.
Do you keep project data confidential?
We use project data only for the agreed work, and any confidentiality terms the contractor needs can be agreed before we start.
How is the cost set?
By the volume of data, the outputs and the deadline. Send a sample of the files and a description, and we will reply with a clear quote.
