Gulf Orbit

Mason (Block) supply in Saudi Arabia

Lays blockwork for internal and external walls to line, level and bond, including openings, lintels and built-in fixings.

Direct answer

Gulf Orbit supplies block masons across Saudi Arabia for internal and external blockwork on construction, commercial and maintenance projects, including openings, lintels and built-in fixings.

What they do on site

  • Set out and lay block walls to line, level and specified bond
  • Form door and window openings and install lintels
  • Build in fixings, ties and service penetrations as detailed
  • Mix and apply mortar to the specified ratio
  • Keep wall lines and levels within the finish tolerance

Block and plaster are usually one continuous requirement

Blockwork and plastering follow each other closely through a building, and clients who raise them as two separate requirements weeks apart often end up with a gap in between. If both are in your programme, raise them together and the crew can be phased rather than mobilized twice.

Wall area is a better brief than headcount

A requirement that says “ten masons” tells us nothing about whether ten is right. A requirement that gives wall area, block type and the date the floor is handed over lets the crew be sized against the actual work. Send what you know about the scope and the headcount can be proposed rather than guessed.

How to request this trade

  1. 1

    Send the requirement

    Trade, headcount, site location, start date, duration and shift pattern. Anything you can add about site access and permit requirements shortens the next step.

  2. 2

    Requirement review

    We confirm what is available against your dates and flag anything in the scope that will affect mobilization.

  3. 3

    Worker matching

    Workers are matched to the trade and to the site conditions — industrial versus building work are not interchangeable, and we do not treat them as such.

  4. 4

    Documentation and client approval

    Iqama, identification and trade documentation are submitted for your review. Nobody mobilizes before you approve the profiles.

  5. 5

    Quotation and purchase order

    Commercial terms are issued against the confirmed scope. A purchase order is required before mobilization.

  6. 6

    Mobilization and site induction

    Workers are briefed on your site induction, permit-to-work and access requirements before they start.

  7. 7

    Ongoing support

    Attendance, replacement and scale-up handled through a single point of contact for the duration of the requirement.

Documentation supplied with every worker

Iqama, identification and trade documentation are available for client review before mobilization. Where a client requires a specific certification or a trade test before a worker is accepted on site, say so in the requirement and it will be addressed during matching rather than after arrival.

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply masons with helpers?

Usually yes. Blockwork runs slowly without helpers moving material and mixing mortar. The crew proposal will include the ratio unless you tell us you are providing helpers yourself.

Can you supply masons for maintenance and fit-out rather than new build?

Yes. Mention it, since working inside an occupied or operating building changes access and working hours.
