Before we start: what we know about Albadai
The centre of Albadai sits about 647 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Albadai sits about 647 m above sea level, and many property owners here ask whether a rewiring or new installation job is worth scheduling before other works begin. The short answer is yes: the electrical work is best sequenced before plastering, tiling and painting, because those finishes should not cover live runs that may need adjusting later. Costs for the surrounding trades are easier to plan once the electrical scope is fixed. For a split AC supply and installation, expect SAR 350–900 per unit, and a site visit with quantity survey costs SAR 150–400 per visit, which is a modest step before any wall is opened.
The inspection process starts with a site visit where the existing supply, distribution board and room layout are reviewed and measured. The surveyor notes which walls will be chased, where new points are needed and how the work interacts with other trades. Based on that survey, a written scope is prepared so the owner can see what is included. If the job runs alongside plastering with guides (SAR 15–35 per m²) or gypsum board false ceiling (SAR 40–90 per m²), the survey also marks the cable routes so the ceiling and wall teams know where not to drill. This keeps rework to a minimum and gives a clear reference for the handover check.
Before the visit, gather the property documents, a rough floor plan with room sizes, and a list of the appliances and AC units you plan to run. Note any problems you have already seen, such as flickering lights, warm sockets or tripping breakers, and mention whether the building is a main house, an annex or a rest-house building, since annex or rest-house work is priced at SAR 700–1,800 per m². Clear access to the distribution board and the rooms helps the survey run smoothly. If you are planning a wider refurbishment, let the surveyor know early, so the electrical scope can be matched to the full finishing schedule.
Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.
