Annual maintenance contracts for residential buildings in Al Shmysy start with a simple reality check on the location. The centre of Al Shmysy sits at 21.3466, 39.6619, about 20.8 km from the centre of Makkah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km. Because the district lies at a height of about 194 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data, technicians begin each contract by reviewing how rooftops, drainage points and external fittings are exposed to weather and dust across the building's height and orientation. This is the first thing checked, because it shapes which components are likely to wear faster and where water is most likely to collect.
Other items are left to the site visit itself. Technicians will inspect the actual condition of the water tanks, pumps, electrical panels, door and window seals, and internal plumbing, since none of these can be judged from a distance. Pricing is also settled on the ground. A routine maintenance visit is quoted at SAR 160–420 per visit, while restoration work is quoted at SAR 55–160 per m², and the final figure depends on what the inspection reveals. Only once the scope is confirmed in person can a realistic schedule and budget be agreed for the year.
To help the technician, residents should prepare a short list before the first visit. Note any past repairs, recurring leaks, or fittings that were replaced, and say which floors or flats are shared by several households. Clear access to rooftops, plant rooms and utility shut-off points saves time, and it helps if the building manager or a named contact is available during the visit. Describing any unusual smells, damp patches or noises gives the technician a head start, so the first inspection can focus on the real problems rather than general checks.
For a whole building, a survey of the shared systems comes before unit-by-unit work.
