Building Connection Excavation Permit Request

  • Infrastructure coordination services

An electronic service available on the Balady platform, designed for service providers across the Kingdom, such as telecommunications, electricity, and water companies. It allows their representatives within project coordination offices to submit a request for a new type of excavation permit (Building Connection Excavation Permit).

2. The request undergoes review and approval by the Project Coordination Office and relevant authorities within a maximum of 24 hours.

3. Once the request is approved, a system-generated invoice is issued, and the applicant is notified to complete payment within the specified timeframe.

4. After payment, the Building Connection Excavation Permit is issued, and the applicant is notified, with an option to print the permit.

1. The service provider must assign representatives within the Infrastructure Project Coordination Office (users and permissions must be assigned electronically).

2. The service provider must define its project team in each coordination office across municipalities (qualified contractors, consultants, and supervisors).
