Annual maintenance contracts in Al Sfa, Makkah, begin with the location itself. The centre of Al Sfa sits at 21.4265, 39.9714, about 12.5 km from the centre of Makkah, and the area has an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The centre sits about 371 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data, so the first check on any annual plan is how water, dust and heat behave on that height. The nearest wadi channel runs about 0.5 km from the centre of Al Sfa, as recorded by OpenStreetMap, which is close enough that drainage routes, gutters, low walls and ground-level seals should be looked at first. These are the points a technician reviews before anything else, because they decide how the rest of the year is planned.

Some things can only be judged on the site visit. Technicians will look at the condition of each property's roof edges, the state of external paint and render, and whether the ground slopes towards or away from the building. They will also check the seating of doors and windows, the age of pipework, and any cracks that have opened since the last visit. Pricing for a standard maintenance visit falls between SAR 160 and SAR 420 per visit, and the final figure depends on what the technician finds. Where restoration work is needed, the cost falls between SAR 55 and SAR 160 per m², so the size and condition of the affected area are confirmed in person before any quote is agreed.

Residents can help the technician by noting the exact floor and the side of the building that has shown problems, and by recording when leaks, damp patches or odd smells appeared. Please clear access to roofs, utility rooms and outdoor taps before the visit, and mention any pets or sensitive equipment on the premises. If the property is close to a wadi channel, say so when booking, since the technician will want to see how water has moved across the plot after heavy rain. Clear information at the start means the annual contract covers the work that matters, without surprises at the door.

The aim is to locate the cause with instruments first, so any opening is limited to one point.
