General contracting & turnkey in Tabuk: the local context

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

What does a property owner in Tabuk actually need to know before asking for a turnkey quote? The short answer is that costs are set by the scope of work and the size of the space, and published ranges give a fair starting point. The centre of Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level, a detail that matters little to the price of the work itself but reminds owners that the city is a high-altitude setting with its own climate demands on finishes and cooling. For general contracting and turnkey work, the published range is SAR 855–2,375 per m², while full finishing to handover runs from SAR 285–760 per m². Building an annex or rest-house structure is priced separately at SAR 665–1,710 per m². Individual trades are also quoted by the square metre: plastering with guides at SAR 15–35 per m², tiling with adhesive and grout at SAR 20–50 per m², and gypsum board false ceilings at SAR 40–85 per m². Split AC supply and installation is priced per unit at SAR 335–855.

Before any work begins, a site visit and quantity survey is carried out, at SAR 145–380 per visit. The surveyor walks the property, measures each room and wall, checks the existing condition of plaster, floors and ceilings, and notes where services such as electrical points, water lines and air-conditioning positions will be affected. Painting is assessed at the same stage: interior and exterior painting with surface preparation is priced at SAR 10–25 per m², and the preparation work is recorded so that cracks, damp patches or loose render are not hidden under new paint. The survey output becomes the measured basis for the quote, so the square-metre figures above are translated into a total for your specific property rather than a generic estimate.

To make the visit productive, gather the drawings or sketches you already have, a list of the rooms and their approximate sizes, and any previous contractor reports or photographs of problem areas. Note which tasks you want included, such as decor works at SAR 30–95 per m² or a complete turnkey handover, and which you plan to handle yourself. Confirm access times with the people who live or work in the building, and clear the spaces where measurements will be taken. Having these details ready lets the surveyor give you a clear, comparable figure and avoids surprises once the scope is agreed.
