Before you sign an annual maintenance contract in Al Byaa, Makkah, start with the location, because it shapes what the technician will look at first. The centre of Al Byaa sits at 21.4563, 40.0207, about 18.4 km from the centre of Makkah, and the district has an approximate radius of 3.5 km. The centre of Al Byaa sits about 425 m above sea level according to SRTM open elevation data, and the nearest wadi channel is about 0.6 km from the centre. Those two facts matter together: a property close to a wadi channel and at this elevation should have its drainage, outdoor drains and boundary walls reviewed early in every visit, so ask the provider to confirm that these points appear in the contract scope.

Some things cannot be settled from a contract alone and are left to the site visit. The technician should walk the roof, check how water moves off the building after rain, inspect the condition of the ground floor and any low walls near the wadi, and note existing cracks, damp patches or blocked outlets. Pricing for routine work is set out in the contract; a maintenance visit is listed at SAR 160–420 per visit, and restoration work is listed at SAR 55–160 per m². Because the final figure depends on what is found on the day, ask for a written note after each visit that records the condition, the work done and any area that needs restoration, so that cost and scope are agreed before any work begins.

To help the technician, prepare a short brief before the first visit. Note the property's access route and any gate or security arrangements, list the areas you have already noticed as problems, and share any past repair records or drawings you hold. Mention whether the property has been affected by standing water before, and tell the technician where the outdoor drains and boundary walls sit relative to the wadi. A clear brief lets the first visit focus on the real issues rather than basic orientation, and it gives you a baseline to measure every later visit against.

Before buying or taking over a property, an inspection gives you findings in writing before you sign.
