Annual maintenance contracts for residential buildings in Al Rwaby begin with the location itself. The centre of Al Rwaby sits at 21.4084, 39.8344, about 3.2 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.6 km. Because the district is roughly 410 m above sea level, our technicians check roof drainage, external seals and water tanks first, since elevation and local rainfall patterns affect how water moves across rooftops and into building joints. Our checklist then moves to stairwells, shared electrical boards and lifts, so that the most common faults in multi-unit blocks are caught early in the contract year.

Some items can only be judged on site, and we leave them to the visit itself. These include the condition of old plaster, hidden damp behind wall finishes, the state of pipework inside ceilings, and whether a repair is best handled by patching or by wider restoration. Restoration is priced per square metre, typically SAR 55–160 per m², depending on the surface and the damage found, so the technician will measure affected areas and explain the options before any work is agreed. A standard maintenance visit costs SAR 160–420 per visit, and the exact figure within that range depends on the building's size, access and the number of tasks on the list.

For the technician, the most useful information is the building's age, the number of floors and units, and any repairs made in the past year. Please note where residents have reported leaks, weak water pressure or unusual noises, and say whether the roof or the car park is shared with neighbouring blocks. Confirm who holds the keys to plant rooms and roof access, and tell us the times residents prefer for visits. With these details ready, the technician can arrive prepared, work through the checklist efficiently and leave a clear written note for the building manager.

For a residential building, shared risers, tanks and pumps are checked as one system.
