This study aims to assess the financial condition of some selected Saudi construction companies. The study adopts the published financial statements of the construction companies listed on Saudi Stock Exchange Market. Traditional financial ratios were employed as assessment tools, necessary financial data concerning the ratios were extracted and saved in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for the analysis of the financial ratios, and these were compared to the industry's typical median and range.
