General contracting & turnkey in Tabuk: the local context

Team note on Tabuk: 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.. The centre of Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Is it worth building a villa or rest house in Tabuk on a turnkey basis? For most owners the real question is what the job will cost from start to handover and how much of it they must manage themselves. Our general contracting and turnkey service for residential buildings in Tabuk covers the whole build, and the pricing is set out per square metre. A rest-house or annex building falls in the range of SAR 665–1,710 per m², while full general contracting on a turnkey basis runs from SAR 855–2,375 per m². Full finishing to handover, when the structure is already in place, is priced at SAR 285–760 per m². Individual trades are priced separately so you can see where the money goes: plastering with guides at SAR 15–35 per m², tiling with adhesive and grout at SAR 20–50 per m², gypsum board false ceilings at SAR 40–85 per m², and painting with surface preparation at SAR 10–25 per m².

Before any work starts, we carry out a site visit and quantity survey, which is charged at SAR 145–380 per visit. The team walks the plot and the existing structure, takes measurements room by room, and notes the finishing level you have in mind. Tabuk's centre sits about 762 m above sea level, and our surveyors record the site conditions that matter for the build. They check the levels and drainage of the plot, the condition of any existing walls and slabs, and the access route for materials. The survey then becomes the basis for a written quantity list, so the figures you approve match what will be built.

To make the visit productive, have the plot documents ready, including the land deed and any approved building plans you hold. Note the rooms and areas you want to finish, and mark which ones need decor works, which need false ceilings, and which need only paint. If you already have a preferred tile or finish, bring samples or photographs, because tiling and decor choices change the per-metre rate. Clear access to the plot and a contact who can make decisions during the visit will also help us complete the survey in one session.

For a whole building, a survey of the shared systems comes before unit-by-unit work.
