Does an annual maintenance contract really make sense for a hotel or serviced apartment in Al Srwat? For most property owners the answer is yes, and the location is part of the reason. The centre of Al Srwat sits at 21.3521, 39.2117, about 21.6 km from the centre of Jeddah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The centre sits about 13 m above sea level, and the area is about 4.5 km from the sea coast. Those conditions shape how buildings age here, so a planned yearly schedule is often easier to manage than repairing problems as they appear.

Under an annual contract, the visit begins with a walk through the common areas, guest rooms or apartments, plant room, rooftop, and external walls. The technician checks sealants, drainage points, paint and render, door and window fittings, and the condition of electrical and water fixtures. Any defects are logged with their location and a rough extent, so the owner can see what is developing from one year to the next. Where surfaces have started to fail, the report separates minor work from items that need restoration. Restoration is priced per square metre, typically SAR 55–160 per m², depending on the surface and the repair needed, while each routine maintenance visit is typically SAR 160–420.

Before the inspection, gather the building plans or a list of room and apartment counts, so the team can estimate areas accurately. Note any problems you have already seen, such as damp patches, cracked finishes, blocked drains or recurring complaints from guests and tenants, and mention which areas are used most. Make sure the technician has access to roof spaces, service ducts and locked rooms, and arrange a point of contact who can approve work on the day. Having a record of past repairs, with dates and invoices, will help the inspector spot patterns and decide what to prioritise in the coming year.

For hotels and serviced apartments, rooms are handled in batches to keep units available.
