Kingdom’s giga-projects and growing digital economy are redefining urban development
Omnix International recently announced the expansion of its collaboration with Matterport, the global leader in 3D spatial data and digital twin technologies, to serve the rapidly growing Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC), Real Estate, Oil & Gas, Healthcare, Tourism and Retail sectors in Saudi Arabia.
These technologies are now recognized as critical and enable faster project delivery, cost efficiency, sustainability, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.
This move comes at a pivotal time as the Saudi Arabian government is actively encouraging global technologies to partner with local companies with a direct localization push. It allows faster delivery of the giga-projects running on compressed timelines.
Growth enabler
“Through our partnership with Matterport, we are bringing its world-class platform closer to the Kingdom, transforming digital twin technology into a practical enabler of growth, sustainability, and long-term competitiveness,” stressed Walid Gomaa, CEO, Omnix International.
Matterport’s accurate 3D replicas create precise digital twins that Omnix integrates into BIM and lifecycle management tools. This ensures all stakeholders share a single source of truth and enable digital walkthroughs. As a result, repeat site visits are reduced by 30-40%, helping projects save time, cut costs and avoid approval delays.
Digital economy
“Saudi Arabia’s giga-projects and growing digital economy are redefining what is possible in urban development, and digital twins are central to this transformation,” stated Rizwan Kareem, Business Unit Manager-Industry Support Solutions, Omnix.
Omnix and Matterport are committed to enabling this future by bridging global innovation with local expertise, empowering Saudi Arabian organizations to transform the way they design, build, and manage assets, the press communique concluded.
