GIS AND SPATIAL DATA SERVICES
GIS services in Saudi Arabia.
Put your project data on the map. Make it easier to use.
Bring survey records, CAD drawings and asset information into a consistent geographic framework. Professionals Arabia, based in Riyadh, supports GIS mapping and spatial data requirements for construction, infrastructure and asset projects across Saudi Arabia.

CONNECT LOCATION WITH PROJECT INFORMATION
Turn separate records into connected spatial information.
GIS links locations with information about the features at those locations. A road, building, utility asset or project boundary can carry attributes such as an identifier, type, status or inspection date. Organized layers help teams find records, compare conditions and prepare maps for project decisions.
Useful GIS starts with a defined purpose and reliable source data. We help establish the project area, required layers, coordinate reference system and attribute structure before preparing the agreed outputs. Existing records can be organized for GIS; missing or uncertain information is identified for review or separately scoped field verification.
WHAT WE OFFER
Six GIS scopes. One connected data workflow.
Select a service to see its purpose and typical outputs. Data sources, coverage and deliverables are agreed for your project.
02
Geodatabase preparation
Give project layers a consistent structure.
03
Asset and utility GIS mapping
Connect asset locations with the records behind them.
04
Spatial analysis and thematic maps
Examine patterns across the project area.
05
Map preparation and visualization
Make the information easier to interpret.
06
GIS data review and updates
Keep records consistent as the project changes.

GIS data conversion
Bring existing records into a usable spatial format.
Convert agreed CAD drawings, coordinate tables and other suitable records into GIS layers. Map the source fields to the required attributes and retain source references for review.
Typical use
Bringing existing project records into a GIS workflow.
Typical output
Converted layers, mapped attributes and a record of source limitations.
Scope note: Conversion does not improve the positional accuracy of the original data by itself.
KNOW WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
Defined layers. Documented outputs.
Agree the dataset structure and receiving software before work starts. The final package reflects the selected service scope.
| Deliverable | What to specify | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Spatial layers | Define coverage, geometry type, layer names and coordinate reference. | GeoPackage, geodatabase or another agreed compatible format. |
| Attribute data | Define identifiers, required fields, value lists and links to records. | dataset attributes and agreed tables. |
| Maps | Define scale, extent, symbology, labels and page size. | PDF or agreed digital map output. |
| Documentation | Define metadata, source references, data dictionary, review checks and update history. | agreed handover documents. |
Confirm coordinate reference, units, transformation requirements, source dates and acceptance criteria. Data accuracy and suitability remain linked to the quality and purpose of the source records.
DATA METHODS AND PROJECT CONTROLS
Prepare the data for the way it will be used.
GIS delivery combines source review, spatial preparation and checks against an agreed data model. The method depends on the source formats, project area and intended use.
Source review
Check file availability, coverage, revision, coordinate information and permitted use.
Spatial preparation
Organize geometry, references and layer structure for the target workflow.
Attribute checks
Review required fields, identifiers and agreed relationships between records.
Output review
Check the package against the defined delivery format and document unresolved items.
Specific software, hosting arrangements and system integration requirements are confirmed for the assignment.
HOW YOUR GIS DATA IS PREPARED
A clear route from source files to handover.
Define
Confirm the project area, intended use, source records and receiving system.
Structure
Agree layers, attributes, references and output formats.
Prepare
Convert, organize or update the data within the agreed scope.
Review
Apply the agreed checks and identify items needing clarification.
Deliver
Provide the files, metadata and change notes needed for handover.
WHY PROFESSIONALS ARABIA
GIS that fits the wider project.
Connected inputs
Coordinate GIS requirements with surveying, utility documentation and CAD services where the project needs them.
Clear data structure
Define how locations, attributes and source references will be organized before preparing the dataset.
Usable handover
Discuss the receiving team's software, required files and update responsibilities early in the assignment.
PROJECTS WE SUPPORT
Spatial information for planning and asset decisions.
Infrastructure and utilities
Organized asset layers, route records and project boundaries.
Construction and development
Site information, drawing conversion and coordination maps.
Industrial facilities
Spatial asset registers and location-based maintenance records.
Commercial and residential portfolios
Property locations, site layers and consistent records across multiple sites.
BEFORE YOU REQUEST A QUOTATION
Share the files and decisions behind the map.
Cost and delivery time depend on the project extent, source quality, number of layers, attribute requirements and review effort. Share a sample dataset so the scope can be assessed.
Discuss your GIS project- Project location and coverage
- intended use and receiving software
- sample CAD, survey or asset files
- known coordinate system and source dates
- required layers and fields
- preferred outputs and schedule
- access and data-sharing restrictions.
GIS services FAQs.
What is the difference between GIS and a CAD drawing?
CAD typically represents design or drawing geometry. GIS connects geographic features with structured attributes and supports location-based queries. The right output depends on how your team needs to use the information.
Can existing CAD drawings be converted to GIS?
Suitable drawings can be converted within an agreed scope. Coordinate information, layer organization and attribute availability are reviewed first. Conversion alone does not verify the drawing against current site conditions.
Can you prepare GIS from survey and asset records?
Survey points, drawings and asset tables can form inputs to a GIS dataset. Share sample files so their reference system, completeness and required preparation can be assessed.
Which GIS file formats can be delivered?
Agree the receiving software and format before preparation. GeoPackage, geodatabase and other compatible outputs may be specified according to the project requirements and available workflow.
Does GIS mapping detect underground utilities?
No. GIS organizes the information provided or collected under a defined scope. Locating buried services requires separate utility detection and appropriate verification.
Can you update an existing GIS dataset?
Updates can be scoped around your current structure and approved source information. Provide the existing schema, update rules and access arrangements so compatibility and review requirements can be checked.
Do you provide web maps and GIS applications?
Tell us what users need to view, edit or query. Web publishing, hosting, licensing and application integration require a separately defined technical scope and availability confirmation.
How much does a GIS project cost?
The fee depends on data volume, source condition, analysis requirements and deliverables. Send the coverage, sample files and brief for a project-specific proposal.
