HOW TYCOONX SUPPORTS THE PROJECT
TycoonX support scope
TycoonX supplies and coordinates the shade and outdoor-structure product set across the project. The scope below is provided as the project requires it.
- Project supply. Supplying the shade and outdoor-structure product set against the consultant or contractor specification, from a single point of coordination.
- Sourcing and qualified supplier coordination. Matching the specification to qualified suppliers and coordinating the commercial chain across China, the GCC, and selected international markets.
- Custom fabrication coordination. Coordinating bespoke pergolas, canopies, and membranes through qualified fabrication partners, to the project design.
- Shop drawings and documentation support. Shop drawings, supplier structural calculations, fabric and finish specifications, warranties, and submittals for consultant review.
- Sample and submittal coordination. Managing samples and submittals for consultant and project-team approval.
- Saudi-side delivery coordination. Programme alignment, customs and inspection, scheduling, and Saudi-side delivery to site.
- Installation supervision or coordination. Provided where it is included in the project scope.
Base plates, anchor layouts, foundation interfaces, wind-load requirements, and fixing details are coordinated with the supplier system and the project engineer. TycoonX supports supplier documents, submittals, delivery coordination, and installation supervision where included in scope.
SPECIFYING & ENQUIRING
Specifying and enquiring on shade and outdoor structures
How to specify a shade structure for Saudi projects
Define the structure type, spans and dimensions, location and orientation, finish and fabric preference, and the site and wind data, plus quantities and programme. TycoonX selects the structure against the specification; fixing and wind-load requirements are then confirmed with the supplier system or the project engineer.
Fabrics and finishes for heat, UV, and coastal exposure
UV-stable, colour-retaining membrane grades (PVDF and PTFE-class) are selected for heat, UV, and wind exposure. Frames use powder-coat over pretreated or galvanised steel and aluminium, with marine-grade options near the coast.
Fixing, anchoring, and wind-load coordination
Supplier calculations, fixing details, and wind-load requirements are coordinated through the supplier system and the project's structural engineer. TycoonX supports supply, coordination, shop drawings, and the documentation package.
Car-park and large-span shade
Car-park shade is supplied as cantilever or back-to-back modules sized to the bay layout, with the repeat-module discipline that makes the scope efficient. Large-span tensile and membrane structures are coordinated as specialist supply.
How to submit an enquiry
Send the schedule, BOQ, specification, or product list with spans and dimensions, site and wind data, finishes and fabrics, quantities, and the project location. With that, TycoonX confirms scope, options, and the supply route.
