Electrical wiring & installation for duplexes in Rastanura

Before we start: what we know about Rastanura

Rastanura is about 0.2 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap). Team note on Rastanura: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins..

Rastanura sits about 0.2 km from the sea coast, which means salt-laden air reaches the outdoor parts of a duplex more directly than it would inland. When we start a wiring and installation job for a duplex here, the first thing we check is the condition of exposed fittings, outdoor junction points, and any cable runs close to the shoreline side of the building. Salt and humidity can corrode terminals and weaken outdoor enclosures over time, so we look at those points before anything else. We also note how the two units share supply and where the meter and distribution board sit, because a duplex has two households that must each be wired and protected independently.

Several things can only be settled on the site visit itself. The exact number of cable runs, the route through existing walls and ceilings, the position of each socket and switch, and the load planned for each split AC unit all depend on the rooms as they stand. A site visit and quantity survey is priced at SAR 150–400 per visit, and it is the stage where the technician measures, photographs, and confirms what the owner wants. Where the work includes split AC supply and installation, which runs SAR 350–900 per unit, the wall positions, the outdoor unit location, and the drainage route are confirmed here as well. If the duplex is being finished at the same time, the gypsum board false ceiling at SAR 40–90 per m² and plastering with guides at SAR 15–35 per m² may affect where cables can be concealed, so those decisions are also made during the visit.

To help the technician, it is useful to have the building's age, the existing wiring type if known, and any previous repairs ready before the visit. Information about which rooms are used as sleeping areas, kitchens, or rest rooms helps in planning circuit separation. Please note any spots where you have seen damp walls, discoloured paint, or corroded fittings, since these point to moisture at the sea-facing side. Mark the preferred position of the main distribution board and any outdoor points such as gates or rooftop units. Clear access to the meter room, the roof, and each unit on the day of the visit will let the technician complete the survey in one trip and give you an accurate picture of the work.

In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.
