StartHR industry pack

HR & payroll for Construction & Engineering

SCE-registered teams, project timesheets and the engineering quota — together.

Engineering consultancies and design-and-supervision firms sell engineers' time. SCE membership, the 25% engineering quota with a wage floor, and supervision staff on contractor sites shape their HR. StartHR keeps registrations valid, counts the quota and costs every project.

The problem

What slows construction & engineering HR teams down

Iqama renewals stall because an engineer's SCE membership lapsed.

Saudi engineers below SAR 7,000 silently don't count toward the quota.

Resident engineers on contractor sites follow a different week.

Project profitability depends on staffing data nobody consolidates.
