Is an old building in Jazan worth restoring, or is it better to rebuild? Many owners here ask this first, and the answer depends on the building's condition and its position. The centre of Jazan sits about 7 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data, and the city is about 1.9 km from the sea coast, based on OpenStreetMap. Those facts matter because a building close to the coast and near low ground faces different moisture and salt exposure than one further inland. A restoration plan should start from that local setting rather than a generic template.

Our inspection begins with a walk through the whole structure, both inside and outside, to record cracks, damp patches, corroded fittings and signs of past repairs. We then check the roof, the external walls and the foundations for water entry and movement. Where needed, we note the condition of wiring and plumbing that affects the building's safety. Findings are written up in a technical report that sets out what was seen, where it was seen and what it means for the work. Restoration is priced per square metre, typically SAR 50–150 per m², depending on the scope and the state of the materials. Ongoing checks can be arranged as a maintenance visit at SAR 150–400 per visit.

Before the visit, gather the building's title deed, any earlier survey or drawings, and a list of recent repairs with dates. Note any leaks, cracks or smells you have noticed and when they started, and clear access to the roof, the utility room and the lower floors. If the building has been empty for some time, tell us so, since that affects what the inspection should look for. Having this information ready lets the inspection focus on the problems that matter and makes the technical report more useful to you when you decide on the next step.

Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.
