What is the Riyadh timber delivery service?
Construction-timber delivery from the Riyadh Timber Al Olaya depot to the customer's site within Riyadh and its outskirts. The fleet covers a 70 km radius from the depot, and the order is delivered within 24-48 working hours of invoice confirmation.
The service covers loading boards and timbers onto Riyadh Timber trucks, securing the load with rated straps, transporting to the jobsite, and offloading with hydraulic cranes on larger trucks. Each shipment ships with a delivery note and a quantity list matching the invoice.
The operation serves villa contractors in Hittin, Malqa, Yasmin and Narjis, commercial-tower sites along King Fahd Road and Al Urubah, joinery workshops in the Second Industrial Area, and retail traders in Al Shifa and Badr.
Why choose Riyadh Timber delivery over self-haul?
Self-haul costs the contractor SAR 400-700 per trip via rented trucks, plus driver-availability delays and lost site time. The in-house fleet guarantees a fixed slot, correct load securing, in-transit damage cover, and one consolidated invoice with the product.
Riyadh Timber trucks are fitted with board-grade straps and vertical timber cradles that prevent corner crushing or edge abrasion in transit. Drivers are trained on scratch-sensitive products such as faced plywood and MDF panels.
Each shipment leaves the depot with a verified weighbridge ticket accurate to plus-or-minus 10 kg, so the product invoice matches the actual delivered weight and no quantity disputes arise after offloading on site.
What does the timber delivery service include?
The service includes five stages: depot loading, load securing, transport, offloading, and delivery-note handover. Hydraulic-crane offload is available on shipments over 10 tons, smaller drops are unloaded manually with the customer's site labour.
- 01
Depot loading
Boards and timbers are stacked per the quantity list, in an offload-friendly order. Each batch is photo-documented before departure.

Load securing
Polyester straps rated 2 tons each are used with edge protectors. Loads longer than 4 m get four-plus straps to prevent shifting in transit.
- 03
Direct transport
The truck moves from Al Olaya to the delivery site via the shortest route. Live tracking is shared by the driver via WhatsApp to the site lead.

Larger trucks carry a 3-ton hydraulic crane to reach internal storage points. Smaller shipments are unloaded by hand on site.
- 05
Delivery note
A signed delivery note is exchanged with the site receiver — quantities, weight, and time stamped. A digital copy is sent on WhatsApp at once.

The standard lead time is 24-48 working hours from invoice confirmation. Orders confirmed before 11 AM ship next-day to sites within 40 km of Al Olaya. Orders above 15 tons need 48 hours for load consolidation.
Same-day delivery is available with a 20% surcharge, subject to invoice confirmation before 9 AM and stock availability at the depot. This service is used for emergency-stop incidents on concrete-pour sites.
Late evening drops after 6 PM are arranged for major projects on prior agreement, with a 15% out-of-hours surcharge to cover driver overtime past the regular shift.
How much does timber delivery in Riyadh cost?
Freight pricing follows distance and tonnage. Within 25 km of Al Olaya the cost is SAR 150-250 for shipments up to 5 tons, rising to SAR 400-600 for the 40-70 km band. Shipments above 15 tons ship free within 30 km.
Repeat customers on annual supply agreements get full waiver of in-Riyadh freight, subject to the agreed monthly volumes. This trims total cost by 3-5% on large project invoices.
