We view the world differently to most
At Olive Arabia, our clients put their trust in us because they value our distinctive approach to facility management. For us, the primary focus is always on people: the occupants, visitors and others who use the facility every day; the owner, for whom the building is a significant and valuable asset; and our team, who are the face of our brand and keep our promises to our clients, 24/7.
It’s a proven formula that delivers tangible results, both for us and our public and private sector clients across Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region. Over nearly four decades, we’ve looked after facilities ranging from commercial and retail to healthcare, education and critical government assets, including some of the Middle East’s largest, tallest and most prestigious developments. Together, the facilities that have come under our care represent over 600 million square feet of real estate, with a combined annual operational budget of over USD 2.5 billion.
Operating as a ‘people business’ means trust, confidence and integrity are the bedrock of everything we do. We’re proud of the long-term relationships we enjoy with many of our clients, and will go to extraordinary lengths to meet, and exceed, their expectations. We also foster trust within our own team, through a positive, inclusive and supportive culture in which every individual can realise their full potential in the service of our clients.
Putting people first means we always strive to do the very best for them. So, while our business is diverse and highly technical, our underlying philosophy is very simple: to deliver exceptional service for every client, every day.
We achieve this by ensuring we get the day-to-day basics right first time, every time, through the considered application of the latest technology, and the skills, attitude and dedication of our team. We also take a wider, longer view, adding value to our clients’ assets over time through comprehensive maintenance, commercial planning and deploying equipment and technology to address environmental and sustainability challenges now and for the future.
Facility management services built around your needs
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for facility management. At Olive Arabia, we consider every aspect of your facility, users, needs and budget to create services to suit your precise requirements. These could include strategic considerations, such as governance, design reviews, value engineering and owner’s representation, and operational matters, alongside the full spectrum of technical, operational and maintenance services.
Combining proven approaches with innovative thinking
The commercial, economic, technological and environmental contexts for our clients’ assets are evolving rapidly and continuously. The facility management challenges they present are thus becoming increasingly complex, which in turn is demanding new thinking, technologies and solutions. As well as proven tools such as computer aided facility management (CAFM) we’re pioneering the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies to identify, anticipate and respond effectively to a changing world.
To support our innovation, we work in partnership with research teams at leading international universities, giving us access to unique information and ideas from leading experts and thought-leaders in fields directly relevant to our clients and their assets.
International reach, local presence
We’ve been constituted in our present form since 2003, but Olive Arabia can trace its origins in Saudi Arabia all the way back to 1985. We remain a proudly Saudi-based company with offices Kingdom-wide; further offices keep us close to our clients in UAE and Kuwait, and ensure we bring a truly local perspective to our services.
