D&B services include designing and planning the project from initial concept, identifying materials, arranging all procurement, transport and clearance procedures, as well as affixing and completing all finishing works. Roots Group plays an active role by entering into contracts with suppliers and contractors, assuming the role of designer, planner and project manager for the built phase.

The D&B’s recent projects in KSA include Princess Nora University, The King Abdullah Endowment Fund, King Saud University, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology and the King Abdul-Aziz International Airport.
