Project Information:

Bechtel is leading the effort on a firm fixed price design-build project that will replace the existing U.S. Embassy compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with new state of the art facilities and structures. The new embassy is part of the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (OBO) mission to provide safe, secure, and functional facilities that represent the U.S. Government to the host nation and support our government in achievement of the U.S. foreign policy objectives.
