Business software for contracting & construction in Arar
In Arar, Northern Borders Region, business is shaped by ongoing construction and housing growth and government and public-sector demand. For contracting & construction, that changes the day-to-day in specific ways.
What this means for contracting & construction in Arar
Where residential and commercial building is active, contractors take on many mid-size jobs at once, each with its own client, stages and payment schedule. A tidy invoice per milestone and an open-invoice list per client keep overlapping contracts from blurring together.
Government clients typically pay against milestones and hold retention until acceptance. Contractors need staged tax invoices that match the contract schedule, an invoice for the retained amount at release, and records that stand up to later review and audit.
Where Fatooraz fits
Common problems
Progress billing tied to milestones
Work is billed in stages tied to signed-off progress. Preparing each stage invoice from an old template invites errors in amounts, VAT and references, and delays the payment that depends on it.
Many invoices to clients that pay slowly
Large clients approve in stages and pay in parts. The contractor then carries balances across several invoices and needs a clear view of each invoice’s status, showing what is paid and what is still outstanding.
How Fatooraz helps
Payment terms, part-payments and invoice status
Set payment terms for each invoice, record part-payments as they land and follow the status of every invoice. The open-invoices list, filtered by client, then shows the stages still unpaid or partly paid in one place.
Billing and paymentsCleared standard invoices for companies and government
Invoices to companies and government entities are standard tax invoices, cleared through the Fatoora platform before they reach the client. Fatooraz is built for these rules and guides your onboarding.

Questions about contracting & construction in Arar
How is retention handled on invoices?
Follow your contract: either invoice each stage in full and track the retained amount as an open balance, or invoice the retained amount when it is released. Confirm VAT timing with your accountant, since it depends on the contract terms.
Can I invoice government departments and companies as business customers?
Yes. Sales to government bodies and companies use standard tax invoices, which are cleared through ZATCA under Phase 2 before reaching the buyer. Payment terms with automatic due dates and the Overdue filter help when public-sector payments arrive in stages after the invoice date.
Who is responsible for ZATCA onboarding for a Arar business?
The taxpayer completes onboarding for their own business, using a one-time code from the Fatoora portal. Fatooraz walks you through each step inside the workspace, but it cannot generate that code for you. Follow ZATCA’s announcements to learn when your wave applies.
