Frequently Asked Question
BETOLOC ME, is an advanced Prefabricated Concrete Company established in KSA 2023.
Has background which comes back from Europe / Greece by holding 18 years experience in buildings.
We are introducing a completely new construction system which does not exist at all in all GCC.
This new system -called BETOLOC – can provide quicker concrete buildings frames than the other ways (Traditional & Precast ways).
- Ceiling slabs of prefabricated concrete buildings – Patent No. 1006262
- Precast Buildings from concrete – Patent No. 1006326
- Method and system of building construction – Patent No. 1006313
W.I.P.O -is the GLOBAL patent organization (WORLD INTELLECTUAL PATENT ORGANIZATION) Saudi Arabia is already a member of WIPO since 03 August 2013 BETOLOC as system has 3 European Patents & 3 Global Patent Certificates by WIPO
All the patents have to do, with a different approach for build buildings.
Minimize the most possible that we can, the movements of trailers from Factory to the site.
This affects the Quality of the final product & improves Safety significantly.
Zero castings on site. No preparations for concrete deliveries, No concrete activities at all.
(Again, improve Safety by avoiding Hazard activities on site).
Erections of our Concrete Elements by using only Slabs & Walls at 90 % to 95 %
BETOLOC -Concrete locking system. Means, the concrete elements are locked together with special connectors.
Time becomes an ally; everything comes up very quickly with BETOLOC during erection.
The result is 100% efficient, safe for the users, and warranted a long span life.
Let’s say that BETOLOC makes things easier than other construction ways.
Our philosophy is ‘MAKE IT SIMPLE’ and it’s completely Different, so someone can see it directly to the buildings that we handed over, within days.
In a project we care about TIME, QUALITY, SAFETY, COST & VALUE ENGINEERING
We follow the usual & needful steps: specifications, the Drawings and doing all the required, tests for our used materials. Our buildings are 100% full anti- seismic, and within 3-4 days.
A Villa of 300 m2 is ready to be hand overed for starting fit out activities.
This is another Key point -a different approach -from the other precast factories.
Most of the majority are using stable Factories, fixed in a location permanently.
Usually, this factory must be in a big city such Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam.
We can do that also, but most of the times Our production Line is completely movable.
That means all the equipment & machines can be next to the project.
We are setting up a fabrication / production Line next to the site, then we care only for
Production & Erection. With this way, we minimize the trips with trailers.
And this has huge impact to the SAFETY on the roads, QUALITY of our concrete elements and reduction for construction Time. Based on that we can work everywhere inside KSA.
And always, we can also establish a steady Factory for support close to city target projects.
As already explained the buildings are 100% anti-seismic and we build them based on KSA,
Customer’s needs (Specs & Drawings), based on Saudi Building and other international codes.
A structural study is always a needful step for finalizing the needs of the building.
BETOLOC can operate GLOBALY in 152 countries as a system.
BETOLOC are experts in building Villas & Townhouses, very quickly.
However, other types of buildings are also possible (Open Plazas, Hotels, Hospitals, Schools,
Gas stations, Sub stations for Power Plants etc), with BETOLOC system when the structural study
has been advised for each type.
a. We want to participate in projects all over the country.
b. Help the Saudi Government with their projects for the VISION 2030
c. Deliver Quality, on Time with the more Safety that we can.
All the above will lead us to be a well-known company in the Construction Market of KSA.
This will sound strange, especially to people that don’t have experience with BETOLOC.
In order to proceed with a building (for example a Villa), we need to build strong foundations.
However, there are cases (Depending on the ground type) that BETOLOC can operate only by requiring a small raft directly on the ground to be used as a base for the building.
This situation gives always to the client some visual advantages: Financially & Time.
This is the reason that BETOLOC structural Engineer Department will always ask for Geotechnical.
Report, to review and advise accordingly the owner /client about.
Now think about it: for only one Villa, maybe it’s not so important, but when someone wants.
To build couple of hundreds (100 -500 villas), then everything changes for the financial execution cost of the project.
BETOLOC system uses completely insulated walls for the construction of frames.
Sometimes the insulation is inside and sometimes the insulation is outside the concrete frame walls.
This type of insulation called -Thermal jacket or Thermal insulation and its 100% efficiency for the
Task that the building was design: a Green Building. Of course, for the building to be a
complete Green Building, after the frame other also requirements should be achieved by client.
But the most critical percentage is always the concrete frame of the building.
We are following the KSA SASO requirements for our used materials about this.
The improvement of something (an idea or a system as working way) is always a request that.
Everyone should mind and try to go beyond expectations.
BETOLOC, by having the same philosophy, tries to be always ahead considering client’s needs.
The building works cannot follow some steps as before 40 years ago.
Technology always needs to accompany humans in their steps, BETOLOC Cannot stay back!
Considering the previous question about R&D and potential innovations, we can answer,
For the removal of some internal walls that: YES, it’s possible this to happened.
When BETOLOC is on the study phase for the building can identify such future needs with the
Help of the client and therefore design the building for any potential future change.
With this way internal walls can cancel without any effect on the building efficiency & integrity.
Considering that BETOLOC is quicker than other systems, and as we know very well Time is Money,
A client should be very happy to have better results in every aspect that she/ he is expecting.
(TIME, QUALITY, SAFETY & VALUE ENGINEERING). However, BETOLOC can also be 5% to 8% less.
costly than others (Subject always to the project requirements and the volume of buildings).
All the BETOLOC needs regarding the used Materials can be found easily to the Saudi Market.
Concrete Batching plants are available and plenty, Reinforcement is also easy to supply,
Suppliers of chemical requirements such as sealant materials, joint materials, curing compounds and
Also, EPS sheets are available. Manufacturers for our Steel production Molds and special used
connectors can also be found. This is very good for the local economy within all Saudi Arabia.
We are developing our system to be more flexible than others.
What we mean about it, lets us give you an example:
A traditional working system, when will finalize with the construction of the concrete frame,
Everything is very rigid. Columns, Beams, Slabs are fixed and cannot be undone from their position.
The other precast systems also have flexibility till the connection of walls with walls.
(Corner connection) & slabs with slabs (using the smaller slabs as a formwork for the final casting
slab above them). Their flexibility then vanished. Nothing can be undone or if needs to be undone.
requires a lot of effort in Time and resources.
With BETOLOC however the wall with wall connections or the wall with slabs or slabs with slabs are
Having an incomparable suitability as we can un connect them or correct an architecture mistake or
add something new or even transfer the whole building in another place/ location.
Still some small details to be addressed, to be 100% ready for this step (when need it).
BETOLOC is hoping to make Join Ventures with fit Out Companies, Real Estate Developers or
Investment Companies, Main clients for projects such as NEOM, AMAALA, RED SEA, to be also, an
Important partner for Ministry of Housing regarding the Vision 2030 for Saudi Arabia, and generally
To be a well-known company for BUILD QUICKLY QUALITY BUILDINGS, so someone can approach us, for a successful cooperation.
TIME is reduced.
QUALITY, increased in unparallel levels.
SAFETY significantly reducing the hazards (for public, working teams & clients)
VALUE ENGINEERING is used whenever is suitable or possible.
COST can be reduced within 5%-8%
BUILD EFFICIENCY buildings (Net Zero Buildings)
SUPPORT LOCAL ECONOMY by purchasing local materials.
SUPPORT LOCAL need for jobs.
IMPROVE LIFE SPAN of buildings.
SUPPORT GOVERMENTS projects
