Who We Are
TCHECO is Saudi Arabia's foremost authority on engineering codes and standards development. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Ahmed Shuraim former Advisor to the Governor on Codes and Standards at the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization we bring decades of regulatory expertise to the Kingdom's most ambitious infrastructure projects. Based in Riyadh, we operate at the critical intersection of engineering innovation, materials science, and regulatory policy. Unlike traditional consultancies, TCHECO specializes in what matters most: the development, verification, and implementation of the technical regulations that ensure safety, quality, and compliance across Saudi Arabia's built environment. We partner with engineering firms, code-writing bodies, and government agencies to navigate complex regulatory frameworks, develop new technical standards, and deliver projects that meet the highest international benchmarks. From concept to compliance, TCHECO provides the specialized knowledge that transforms regulatory challenges into competitive advantages.
Our team comprises the actual authors of Saudi Arabia's key engineering codes, including the 2024 Saudi Building Code (SBC), positioning us as the definitive source for compliance assurance, regulatory strategy, and technical advisory.
Our Mission
TCHECO provides technical certainty in an evolving regulatory landscape. We serve as the definitive resource on building codes and standards for engineering professionals, manufacturing industries, and regulatory bodies delivering guidance grounded in the highest standards of engineering excellence. We eliminate ambiguity in compliance, de-risk innovation through standardization, and ensure that the Kingdom's most ambitious projects are built on a foundation of unimpeachable technical authority. Where others see regulatory complexity, we provide clarity. Where others see compliance burdens, we create competitive advantages.
