Contractor and Business Procurement Guide via Almadah: Quotes, Financing, and Delivery

Short answer: "B2B Procurement for Contractors and Businesses" is an editorial section on the Almadah blog covering everything a contractor or business owner needs when buying in bulk: requesting a quote, opening a business account for deferred purchasing, installment options, and heavy material delivery. 8 sub-articles publish through February 2027, each linking directly to real products and services in our catalogue (thousands of published products as of 21/09/2026), including ready-made aggregate and asphalt supply services for contractors in Jeddah.

What Are the Four Branches of This Section?

This section maps to a real category in our store — Services (dozens of products) — but most of its editorial content points to Building Materials & Construction (thousands of products), not a single shelf.

Branch	What it covers	Planned articles	Links to categories
Pricing & invoicing	Reading a VAT-inclusive price online, e-invoicing (ZATCA), and the return/refund policy	2	Building Materials & Construction

Figures and categories from Almadah's catalogue database as of 21/09/2026. Sub-article links are added to this page progressively as each one publishes (the first sub-article is scheduled for 28/09/2026).

Why Are We Building This Section?

A large share of requests from contractors and businesses reach us through WhatsApp, not the usual shopping cart: "I need a quote for a project," "Do you offer deferred payment for companies?", "What does it cost to deliver a trailer of iron to Jeddah?" This section gathers the answers to these questions in one place and links each one directly to the actual category or service in our catalogue, instead of leaving them as scattered chat replies.

An example from the delivery & comparison branch: in Jeddah specifically, one of our sellers offers a ready-made construction and aggregate materials transport service with no minimum order, listed under Services:

For projects that need ready hot asphalt rather than raw materials alone, the same Services category carries hot asphalt trailers by the ton, ready for direct spreading on site, such as this 24-ton Superpave trailer:

From the pricing & invoicing branch: every price in our catalogue is already displayed VAT-inclusive at 15%, with nothing added at checkout — such as this basalt subbase material used for base layers before paving:

And for indoor paving projects themselves (parking lots, warehouse lanes), a ready asphalt paving service is available in three thicknesses depending on the expected traffic, such as this 3 cm option:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the "B2B Procurement for Contractors and Businesses" section on Almadah?

An editorial section, not a single shopping category. It gathers bulk-purchasing guidance (quotes, business accounts, financing, delivery) and links it to the Services and Building Materials & Construction categories in our store.

Are the prices shown on the store VAT-inclusive?

Yes, all listed prices already include 15% VAT, and no tax is added at checkout. The sub-article scheduled for 28/09/2026 covers how to read the price and the e-invoice in detail.

How do I request a quote for a large-quantity project?

Currently through direct contact (WhatsApp or customer service) with a material list or bill of quantities, and our team responds with a detailed quote. The sub-article scheduled for 18/11/2026 explains the list and specifications that speed up the response.

Is there a dedicated account for businesses or companies?

Yes, a business account lets you register your company name and VAT number and get a tax invoice issued to the business at checkout. The sub-article scheduled for 25/12/2026 covers the setup steps and deferred-purchase requirements.

Does Almadah accept installments or deferred payment for contractors?

We offer installment options through approved payment gateways, with the limits, fees, and fit for each case covered in the sub-article scheduled for 19/11/2026.

How does delivery work for heavy materials like iron or aggregate?

It varies by material type and city; the aggregate and asphalt supply services currently available under Services are Jeddah-only. The sub-article scheduled for 26/12/2026 breaks down delivery time and shipping type by region.

What's the current scope of aggregate and asphalt supply services?

Dozens of products under the Services category, VAT-inclusive prices from SAR 20.70 to SAR 4,416.00 (SAR 247.31 median as of 21/09/2026), covering aggregate, gravel and basalt supply, hot asphalt by the ton, and ready paving in three thicknesses — all with no minimum order in Jeddah at present.

Are all the sub-articles published yet?

No. This hub page publishes first, and links to the eight sub-articles are added progressively as each one publishes through February 2027 — see the branch table above for the schedule and topics.
