Before we start: what we know about Arar

The centre of Arar sits about 553 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

The centre of Arar sits about 553 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), which gives the city a high, open setting on the northern plateau. For carpentry and aluminum work, that elevation means homes and rest-houses are exposed to strong sun and dry, dusty winds for much of the year, and to heavier seasonal rain when it does fall. Frames, sliding doors and window systems need to be measured and fixed with that exposure in mind, and sealing around aluminum sections should be checked before the hot months arrive.

Practically, a site visit and quantity survey (SAR 150–400 per visit) is the best starting point in Arar, because it lets the installer check how sun and wind reach each opening before cutting any material. Split AC supply and installation (SAR 350–900 per unit) should be planned alongside door and window openings so that wall penetrations and brackets are not cut into finished aluminum work later. Where rooms are being finished before summer, gypsum board false ceilings (SAR 40–90 per m²) and plastering with guides (SAR 15–35 per m²) can be scheduled so that dust from the work does not settle on newly painted surfaces, and interior or exterior painting with surface preparation (SAR 8–25 per m²) can follow once the walls are fully dry.

Common mistakes owners avoid in Arar include ordering aluminum sections before the opening has been surveyed, leaving frames unsealed through the rainy months, and painting walls before plaster has cured. Many owners also skip the separate quantity check and then pay for extra cutting or reworking. Tiling with adhesive and grout (SAR 25–60 per m²) is another area where rushing causes cracks, so allowing time between stages keeps the whole job on track. For a full job from start to handover, costs typically fall between SAR 300 and 800 per m² for finishing, or SAR 900 to 2,500 per m² for general contracting on a turnkey basis.

Checks before summer and before the rain season catch problems while they are still small.

Signs worth paying attention to

The following signs are worth checking before they grow:

• A kitchen or wardrobe to be made
• Old frames that let dust and heat in
• Doors or windows that do not close well

Causes we see in the field

• Material that does not suit the place — we check this before anything else.
• Frames that are not level.
• Missing seals.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

How the work is done, step by step

1. Measurement: Openings are measured on site.
2. Samples: Profiles, wood and fittings are agreed.
3. Making: Units are made to the measurements.
4. Fitting: Units are fitted, sealed and adjusted.
