Answers before you start
How eBinaa works, what it costs, and how your project and money stay protected.
Getting started
What is eBinaa?
eBinaa is an Omani platform that connects home owners with verified architects, contractors, and developers. It covers the whole journey in one place: designing your home, building it, or buying a ready project to put on your land.
How much does eBinaa cost me as an owner?
eBinaa is free for owners. You browse companies, compare proposals, sign your contract, and track your project at no charge.
Who can use the platform?
Home owners and project clients who want to design, build, or buy in Oman, and companies who want to receive work: architectural firms, contractors, supervision engineers, and developers.
How do I start a project?
Create an account, choose the journey that fits you (design, build, or buy), and share your project details such as property type, location, and budget. From there eBinaa guides you step by step to the right partners.
Design, build, and buy
How does the design journey work?
You browse a curated list of architectural firms in Oman, get a consultation and an approximate financial estimate before the preliminary design, then get connected with the architect who fits your vision. You review concepts, give feedback, and approve a final package that is ready for construction.
How does the build journey work?
You attach your project drawings and details, then eBinaa gives you access to contractors selected through a strict process, plus supervision engineers to oversee quality. You compare proposals, sign the construction contract, and manage progress and budget from the platform.
How does buying a ready project work?
You choose a trusted developer to build on your own land, upload your land layout and details, and personalise the unit with the team so the plan matches your lifestyle. After talking directly to the project experts, you sign and move to execution.
Can I design and build through eBinaa?
Yes. The design journey ends with a final drawings package and a technical requirement checklist, which is exactly what contractor onboarding in the build journey needs.
Contracts and payments
What protects me in the contract?
Contracts on eBinaa are legal and reviewed, with clear technical and administrative requirements written into them, so responsibilities and deliverables are defined before work starts.
What is the 5% retention policy?
eBinaa retains 5% of the project value. If a contractor withdraws from the project at any point, they carry the consequences. It protects you and gives contractors a real reason to finish the work properly.
When is the contractor paid?
Payments are released only after each stage of the project is completed, so what a contractor receives reflects the work actually done on site.
Can I finance my project through Oman Housing Bank?
Oman Housing Bank is a partner on eBinaa. During the build journey you can run a loan eligibility check against your OHB loan information, and you can skip that step if you do not have a loan with OHB.
For companies
How are companies verified?
Companies go through a registration and verification process before they can receive work, and eBinaa applies a strict selection process for its contractor network. Profiles carry portfolios and ratings so you can compare before deciding.
How does my company join eBinaa?
Register your company on the platform and complete the onboarding steps: company type, details, ownership, services, resources, and documents. After verification your profile can appear to project owners.
Which companies can register?
Architectural and consulting firms, contractors, and developers. Each type gets a profile and a dashboard suited to the work it receives through the platform.
Who do companies contact for help?
Companies, architects, contractors, and partners have a dedicated support channel, separate from the one used by home owners and project clients.
