The ministry of defense (MOD) represented through the general directorate of military works (GDMW) intends to develop 6 sites in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the housing of its military staff and provide a modern living environment for the mod’s employees and their families to improve on the mod’s current style as it will house both its military and civilian staff.
