Client Enquiries

Frequently Asked Questions

Common technical and commercial questions regarding Structural Steel Fabrication execution.

Initial BOQ review and preliminary engineering submittals take 3 to 5 working days upon receiving tender drawings. Detailed BIM models (LOD 400) and structural calculations are submitted within 10 to 14 days following contract award.
Yes. Our engineering management team handles complete technical submittals, structural calculations, and authority approvals with Riyadh Municipality, MODON, and Civil Defense.
We execute a comprehensive Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) for every work package. Structural steel welds undergo 100% non-destructive testing (NDT), concrete pours are cube-tested at accredited labs, and mill certificates accompany all raw materials.
Extremely well. We specialize in phased construction within active environments (e.g. Al Nahda Medical Complex expansion), employing negative-pressure dust seals, noise barriers, and night-shift structural erection.
Thobal provides a standard 10-year decennial warranty on all main structural elements, alongside 1-year to 5-year warranties on building envelope systems, waterproofing, and MEP installations.
