What is specific about Tabarjal for plastering & rendering works

The centre of Tabarjal sits about 548 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Team note on Tabarjal: 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..

Before any plaster or render goes on a wall in Tabarjal, the first thing to check is the height of the work and what that height means for the weather. The centre of Tabarjal sits about 548 m above sea level, which is well above the coastal flats, so walls here can see wind and temperature swings that differ from those at the shore. Because of that, the surface and the base coat are inspected before any mixing begins. Loose old render, flaking paint and hollow patches are marked and removed first, since a new coat laid over weak material will not hold through a hot summer or a rainy spell. Plastering with guides is priced at SAR 15–35 per m², and the guides are set only after the wall has been confirmed sound, so that the surface is true before the finish is applied.

The finer decisions are left to the site visit, which is charged at SAR 150–400 per visit and includes the quantity survey. During that visit the technician looks at the orientation of each wall, the presence of shade or exposure to direct sun, drainage from roofs and balconies, and any cracks that may point to movement in the structure. The choice between render and paint, and whether a wall needs a bonding treatment or a different mix, depends on these conditions and cannot be settled from a description alone. Painting with surface preparation runs at SAR 8–25 per m², and the scope of preparation is set on site. Where the work is part of a larger job, such as an annex or rest-house building at SAR 700–1,800 per m², the survey also confirms how plaster sits alongside tiling at SAR 25–60 per m² and gypsum false ceilings at SAR 40–90 per m².

To help the technician, it is useful to have ready the plan or the rough dimensions of the area, the age of the building, and a note of any past repairs or leaks. Photographs of problem spots taken in both wet and dry conditions are especially helpful, because they show how water moves through the wall. Tell the technician if the work must be finished before summer heat arrives or before the rainy season, since timing affects curing and the choice of materials. Clear access to the walls, power and water on the day, and a list of rooms or elevations to be included, will let the survey be completed in one visit.

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