The selected architectural finishes shall meet international/industry standards, and Saudi Aramco Mandatory Engineering Standards Requirements. It also addresses the requirements for architectural design of buildings and presents a tiered approach that should be adhered to in the design development of Saudi Aramco buildings. This document is intended to supplement, and shall not replace, Saudi Aramco Building Code, industry standards and project specific design requirements. Commentary Note: These requirements address overall design factors that need to be considered to ensure that the Architectural Quality provided in designing Saudi Aramco buildings is appropriate for the primary functional use of the buildings. 2 Conflicts and Deviations 2.1 Any conflicts between this Standard and other applicable Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards (SAES’s), Materials System Specifications (SAMSS’s), Standard Drawings (SASD’s), or industry standards, codes, and forms shall be resolved in writing by the Company’s or buyer’s representative through the Supervisor, Civil Engineering Unit/ Consulting Services Department of Saudi Aramco, Dhahran. 2.2 Direct all requests to deviate from this Standard in writing to the Company or buyer’s representative, who shall follow internal Company procedure SAEP-302 and forward such requests to the Manager, Consulting Services Department of Saudi Aramco, Dhahran. 3 References The selection of the architectural finishes shall comply with the latest edition of the references listed below unless otherwise noted. 3.1 Saudi Aramco References Saudi Aramco Engineering Procedure SAEP-302 Instructions for Obtaining a Waiver of a Mandatory Saudi Aramco Engineering Requirement Page 2 of 7 Document Responsibility: Architectural Engineering Standards Committee SAES-R-004 Issue Date: 11 July 2012 Next Planned Update: 11 July 2017 Building Architectural Design and Finishes Requirements Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards SAES-B-014 Safety Requirements for Plant and Operations Support Buildings SAES-H-001 Coating Selection and Applications Requirements for Industrial Plants and Equipment SAES-H-101V Approved Saudi Aramco Data Sheets – Paints and Coatings SAES-M-009 Design Criteria for Blast Resistant Buildings SAES-M-100 Saudi Aramco Building Code Commentary Note: SAES-M-100 should govern in case of conflict with this standard.

Commentary Note: Spacing is the required area for office, corridor, etc. 4.7 Design and finishes for Medical Buildings shall meet SASC-S-10, AIA and NFPA 99 for healthcare facilities. 4.8 Coatings shall be in accordance with SAES-H-001 and SAES-H-101V. 4.9 Asbestos containing materials, lead based materials or other materials considered toxic or hazardous for building occupants are prohibited. 4.10 This engineering standard applies to Saudi Aramco buildings, including rehabilitation and renovation works of existing buildings. 5 Building Design and Finishing Requirements For building design and finishing requirements, refer to Appendix-1 – Building Design & Finishing Guidelines. Architects / Designer should consider: 5.1 The building design will be developed in compliance with the provisions of Appendix-1 – Building Design & Finishing Guidelines including provisions covered under the corporate Image thereto, as well as guiding principles developed including cost effectiveness, flexibility, constructability, incorporation of new technologies, and sustainability. 5.2 The building design will be developed incorporating building classification and tiers as established under Appendix-1 – Building Design & Finishing Guidelines including building tier and building type. The design will incorporate building exterior and interior building elements to be considered. 5.3 As pre provisions of Appendix-1, other items that will be addressed include provision of a District Master Plan as directed, and incorporate the building approach requirements including context evaluation, building scale, form Page 4 of 7 Document Responsibility: Architectural Engineering Standards Committee SAES-R-004 Issue Date: 11 July 2012 Next Planned Update: 11 July 2017 Building Architectural Design and Finishes Requirements follows function, material distribution, building approach and site circulation, site and landscape character. Provisions related to building servicing, loading docks, trash collection, equipment screening, etc. will also be addressed. 5.4 The design will incorporate requirements of building components detailed under Appendix-1 including building envelope provisions, thermal design, maintenance, etc. 5.5 The architectural design of buildings will include provisions for both exterior and interior finishing materials, patterns and colors to be used as provided under Appendix-1 finishing matrixes. Commentary Notes: Deviation from regular shapes shall be reviewed and accepted by the supervisor of the civil engineering unit. Example of building configuration is one building with ten stories versus two buildings with five stories each. 6 Roles and Responsibilities Refer to roles and responsibilities matrix (Appendix-2).
