New Murabba Development Co. (NMDC) issued a request for information (RFI) notice to test the market for modular and offsite fit-out solutions for its Mukaab development, MEED reported quoting unnamed sources.

The RFI was issued on Jan. 26, with a submission deadline of Feb. 11, the report said.

The company has scheduled a meeting with potential firms in the first week of February to discuss the solutions in more detail.

NMDC is seeking experienced suppliers and contractors to advise on the feasibility, constraints and execution strategy for using non-load-bearing modular systems for the four corner towers encompassing the Mukaab structure, the sources said.

The feedback will be incorporated to shape later design and procurement decisions, the report said.

According to data available with Argaam, Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman launched NMDC in February 2023 to develop the world’s largest modern downtown in Riyadh.

The company recently appointed US-based Parsons as the infrastructure lead design consultant for the first phase of its development.

The agreement aims to establish the technical foundations for activating the first phase and supporting future phases of Riyadh’s new downtown.
