How much does a general contracting or turnkey job cost in Allith, and what is published? Owners here usually ask this first, and the answer depends on how much of the work is handed over. A turnkey build is priced per square metre, and the published range runs from SAR 900 to SAR 2,500 per m². A full finishing package to handover, covering the fit-out only, sits at SAR 300 to SAR 800 per m². For an annex or rest-house building, the published rate is SAR 700 to SAR 1,800 per m². Smaller items are priced separately: plastering with guides at SAR 15 to SAR 35 per m², tiling with adhesive and grout at SAR 25 to SAR 60 per m², and gypsum board false ceilings at SAR 40 to SAR 90 per m².

Allith sits about 5 m above sea level, and the centre is roughly 1.2 km from the sea coast. Those two facts matter for a site visit, because the surveyor will check how the ground drains and how exposed the building is to salt-laden air. Before any quotation is issued, a site visit and quantity survey is carried out for SAR 150 to SAR 400 per visit. The surveyor measures each area, checks the existing surfaces, notes which walls need surface preparation before painting, and records the split AC units to be supplied and installed, which are priced at SAR 350 to SAR 900 per unit. Decor works are measured separately at SAR 30 to SAR 100 per m², so the survey must separate structural, finishing and decor items to avoid overlap in the quotation.

To make the visit productive, prepare a rough floor plan with room sizes, a list of the works you want included, and any existing drawings or permits. Note which rooms need new paint or plaster, and which tiled areas need replacing. Mark the positions where air conditioning is planned, and say whether you want turnkey handover or only finishing. Have access arranged for every room and the roof, and make sure someone who can make decisions is present. With this information ready, the survey will give you a clear, itemised basis for comparing the published rates against your own budget.
