Is it worth paying for a proper inspection before ducting an air conditioning system in a home in Alzulfi? Many property owners ask this, and the answer depends on what the work involves and what it costs. Alzulfi sits at about 615 m above sea level, and the published rates for AC work here start with split unit supply and installation at SAR 350–900 per unit. Where ducting, ceilings or finishing are part of the job, the price moves with the scope, so a clear picture of the site matters before any figure is agreed.

The inspection begins with a site visit and quantity survey, which is priced at SAR 150–400 per visit. During the survey, the team walks the building, notes the rooms to be cooled, measures the areas involved and checks where units and ducts would sit. If a gypsum board false ceiling is needed to hide ducting, it is measured per square metre at SAR 40–90 per m². Plastering with guides runs at SAR 15–35 per m², and painting with surface preparation at SAR 8–25 per m², so the surveyor can count these items separately. The output is a measured list of work that you can compare against the published rates, rather than a single lump figure with no detail behind it.

Before the visit, gather the basic information the surveyor will need. Have a rough plan of the rooms, with their approximate sizes, and note which building type applies, such as an annex or rest-house, since annex work is published at SAR 700–1,800 per m². Mark the rooms where you want cooling and any areas where ceilings or walls are already damaged. Note any finishing you plan to add, such as tiling at SAR 25–60 per m² or decor works at SAR 30–100 per m², and whether you want a full finishing package at SAR 300–800 per m² to handover. Clear access to the rooms and the roof or service areas will also help the survey run smoothly.

• No proper drain line — we check this before anything else.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

How the work is done, step by step

1. Survey: Room sizes and unit positions are checked.
2. Sizing: Unit capacity is chosen for each room.
3. Installation: Units, copper, drain and breaker are installed.
4. Testing: Pressure, cooling and drainage are checked.
