Al Hjla Al Jdyd is centred at 21.3023, 39.8539, about 9.7 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. For residential buildings in this part of the city, the most common problem we see over a year is gradual wear that builds up unnoticed: drainage that slows, seals and fittings that loosen, and surfaces that weaken with use. An annual maintenance contract is designed to catch these issues early, before they turn into repairs that cost far more. A routine visit typically falls in the range of SAR 160–420 per visit, which makes regular checks a practical way to keep a building in good order.
The local setting shapes how that work should be planned. The centre of Al Hjla Al Jdyd sits about 265 m above sea level, so the ground and drainage here respond differently than in lower-lying districts, and a contract should include checks on how water moves away from the building. The nearest wadi channel is about 1.1 km from the centre of Al Hjla Al Jdyd, so runoff paths and the condition of drains and external walls deserve particular attention. Where restoration is needed, the scope is usually priced at SAR 55–160 per m², so an early inspection helps keep any repair area small and the work manageable.
Before the first visit, ask the provider to confirm exactly which items the annual contract covers, such as drainage, roof edges, external walls, and common areas, and which items are billed separately. Ask how many visits are included in the year, how each visit is recorded, and how the building owner or manager receives the findings. Ask how the provider assesses drainage and water runoff given the site's height and nearby wadi, and what happens if a problem is found between scheduled visits. Clear answers on these points will help you compare contracts fairly and choose one that fits your building.
For a residential building, shared risers, tanks and pumps are checked as one system.
