Freyssinet Saudi Arabia and Haif Company built the site-wide Phase 1 infrastructure (roads, storm drainage, irrigation, electrical, data and security, plus the operations building) between September 2021 and March 2023; the joint venture total is SR1,967,692,689, with Freyssinet's share at 52%. For Phase 2 it lists a total contract of SR3.2bn over 30 months, six bridges and Freyssinet as joint-venture leader, which is likely the whole-venture figure behind the SR1.8bn that MEED reported for Haif. It also lists the Grand Mosque package.

Site-wide infrastructure package begins
The Freyssinet and Haif joint venture reports starting the site-wide package in September 2021, covering about 13 square kilometres of roads, drainage, irrigation, power and data.
Plan for the first infrastructure package: finish by March 2023
The contractor's profile gives 18 months from September 2021, so March 2023, for the site-wide infrastructure package. Phase 2 infrastructure followed in 2025.
Haif awarded Phase 2 infrastructure
MEED reported the award in July 2025 at about SAR 1.8bn (USD 480m). Freyssinet lists a larger SAR 3.2bn Phase 2 contract for the joint venture, so the two figures measure different things.
