Phase 2
The Context
Following our initial engagament, which highlighted that the original development scale could not sustain projected operational costs, the client re-master-planned Qiddiya to accommodate a population of 600,000 residents. With this significant expansion, the client required a robust framework to manage city-wide operations, facilities, and financial planning at a scale rarely attempted before within a master-planned development.
Services
• City Management Operations Model (CMOM): A core reference framework defining governance, organizational structure, service delivery mechanisms, and interdepartmental coordination for a liveable, mixed-use giga-city. It establishes a hybrid city management approach, balancing permanent residential, commercial, and institutional services with large-scale entertainment and tourism operations.
• Facility Management & Community Management Operational Support Strategy: A binding framework for all FM and CM support facilities, translating service vision and performance standards into tangible operational assets. Includes facility typologies, catchment logic, Schedules of Accommodation, and city-wide operational consistency.
• Budget Integration Report (BIR): A unified financial and operational governance model, integrating city operations budgets, service charge frameworks, and cost recovery mechanisms. Ensures transparency, accountability, and long-term financial sustainability aligned with Vision 2030 principles.
• Cost Model: Validation of operational costs against the revised master-plan, ensuring scalability and affordability as the city expands.
Our Value
By developing the CMOM, FM/CM support strategy, and Budget Integration Report, we provided Qiddiya with a comprehensive operational blueprint for a city of unprecedented scale and complexity. The frameworks ensure consistent governance, service quality, and financial management across all districts while allowing adaptability to phased growth.
Our deliverables translate strategic intent into actionable city operations, defining clear responsibilities at city, zonal, and plot levels. This ensures alignment between governance, service delivery, and asset management, and enables the client to operate the city efficiently while hosting millions of visitors annually.
Through this engagement, we helped position Qiddiya as a world-class, service-oriented giga-city, providing tools and models that support operational readiness, financial sustainability, and long-term success. Our work reinforced the client’s confidence in scaling up the master-plan while maintaining operational control and cost efficiency, establishing a strong foundation for all future phases.

Phase 3
The Context
Building on the success of the first two engagements, the client re-engaged us to support the next phase of Qiddiya’s development. Enagagement 3 focused on expanding operational frameworks to multiple districts, ensuring that each area could be managed efficiently and consistently within the larger city ecosystem. The client required a robust Estate Management Strategy, detailed Operational Design Review, and a tailored Cost Model to guide decision-making and optimize operations across three distinct districts.
Services
• Estate Management Strategy: Defining governance, maintenance, and operational approaches to ensure effective oversight and long-term asset performance across all districts.
• Operational Design Review: Assessing design plans against operational standards to ensure service delivery, safety, and efficiency are embedded from the outset.
• District-Level Cost Model: Detailed financial frameworks for each district, enabling accurate budgeting, cost allocation, and alignment with city-wide operational plans.
Our Value
We provided the client with a comprehensive Estate Management Strategy that ensures each district operates in alignment with city-wide standards while allowing flexibility for local conditions. Leveraging city-level knowledge from previous engagements, the Operational Design Review ensured that district-level designs and operational plans align seamlessly with broader city strategies, enabling consistent service delivery, safety, and efficiency across all areas.
The district-level Cost Models deliver clear, actionable financial guidance and are fully integrated with the city-level operational and financial models, both upward and downward. This ensures that decisions at the district level support city-wide objectives, while city strategies are grounded in the practical realities and costs of each district.
This engagement reinforced GJC's role as a trusted partner, capable of delivering scalable, high-impact solutions that address both current operational needs and future growth within Qiddiya.
