Pre-handover inspection for clinics in Alkharj starts with the building's position in the landscape. The centre of Alkharj sits about 439 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data, and that elevation shapes how water, air and sunlight reach a clinic's envelope. Before anything inside is touched, we look at how rainwater leaves the roof, where it pools at the foundation, and whether the entrance and waiting areas drain away from the door. Clinics handle a steady flow of patients, so any sign of standing water, staining at the base of walls or lifting tiles near the entrance is recorded first, along with the condition of seals around windows and external doors that take the most daily wear.
What is left to the site visit is the detail that only a walkthrough can reveal. The technician checks the state of plaster, paint and ceiling boards in each consultation room, the reach and finish of the sterilisation and treatment areas, and the function of taps, extraction fans and door closers. Measurements of damaged surfaces are taken on the spot so the scope of any repair can be set out clearly. Typical visit costs fall within SAR 150–400 per visit, and restoration work is quoted per square metre at SAR 50–150 per m², depending on what the surface needs. Because these figures depend on access, materials and the size of the affected area, the final quote is confirmed only after the inspection is complete.
To help the technician, have the following ready before the visit: the clinic's floor plan or a rough sketch of each room, a list of any leaks, cracks or odours already noticed, and the dates of the last major repair or repainting. Mark which rooms are in daily clinical use and the hours they are free, so work can be scheduled without disrupting patients. Note any equipment that is fixed to walls or ceilings, since it affects how surfaces can be inspected. Keep the keys or access codes for plant rooms and roof hatches to hand. Clear information at this stage shortens the visit and means the handover report reflects the true condition of the clinic.
For clinics, work is scheduled around patient hours and kept to the areas that need it.

Short answers for Alkharj
Does an underground tank require waterproofing even if it is new?
Yes, concrete is naturally porous, which can lead to leaks or groundwater seepage. Applying epoxy or cementitious insulation from the start maintains water quality and protects the structure from corrosion.
Do you need to evacuate the building during renovation work?
It depends on the type and scope of the work. Surface work such as plastering and painting usually does not require evacuation, while partial or full evacuation may be advised in cases of structural reinforcement, and the contractor determines this after inspection.
