Wondering whether an older hotel or serviced apartment building in Alkharj can be brought back to a good standard without a full rebuild? In most cases the answer starts with a proper look at the building itself. Alkharj sits at roughly 439 metres above sea level, and the centre of town is a practical base for our restoration work on hotels and serviced apartments. Restoration is priced per square metre, typically between SAR 50 and SAR 150 per m², depending on the scope of the work. Routine maintenance visits fall in a separate range of SAR 150 to SAR 400 per visit, which many owners use to keep small faults from growing into larger repairs.
The visit begins with a walk through the whole property, both inside and out. The team looks at the façade, roof edges, balconies, and entrance areas first, noting cracks, flaking finishes, and any signs of water getting into the structure. Inside, guest rooms, corridors, bathrooms, and service rooms are checked for damp patches, worn surfaces, and fittings that are no longer safe or working properly. Where a problem is suspected behind a finish, the team marks the area for closer inspection rather than guessing. At the end of the walk-through, the findings are grouped into what needs urgent attention, what can be planned, and what is simply due for routine care, so the owner can see the scope before any decisions are made.
To make the visit as productive as possible, gather any previous maintenance records, repair invoices, and drawings you have for the building, even if they are incomplete. Note which rooms or units guests have reported problems with, and mention any areas that leak after rain or feel damp. Arrange access to occupied and vacant units alike, and let the front desk or building manager know in advance so the inspection does not disrupt check-ins. If the building is still operating, plan a time that suits your occupancy patterns. With this information ready, the inspection can move straight to the questions that matter, and the owner leaves with a clear picture of what restoration would involve.
For hotels and serviced apartments, rooms are handled in batches to keep units available.

Questions from 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.
What is the first step of building restoration for hotels & serviced apartments?
