Before we start: what we know about Makkah
The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Is it worth fixing a small crack in the concrete of a hotel or serviced apartment in Makkah now, or can it wait until the next renovation? In a city where the centre sits about 301 m above sea level, buildings face hot daytime temperatures and sharp swings between day and night, and these conditions can widen hairline cracks over time. A small crack in a stairwell wall, a balcony slab or a parking deck may look minor, but water finding its way in can corrode reinforcement and turn a simple job into a costly one. Our repair work for hotels and serviced apartments is built around catching problems early, when the fix is still straightforward.
Every visit starts with a walk through the building to map where the cracks are, how wide they run and whether they are still moving. The technician notes the location of each defect, checks for staining, damp patches or loose render, and decides whether the crack needs a simple sealing treatment or a deeper restoration. Pricing is set out clearly before any work begins. A maintenance visit costs SAR 160–420 per visit, depending on the size and access of the area, while restoration is priced at SAR 55–160 per m², so you know the range before you approve anything. Where a repair is needed, the work is carried out in sections to limit disruption to guests and residents.
To make the visit as efficient as possible, gather the records you already have, such as earlier repair invoices, the building's age and any notes about past leaks or cracks. Mark on a floor plan the areas where you have noticed problems, and note whether they appear after rain or during hot afternoons. Arrange access to the affected rooms, stairwells, roof edges and car parks, and let the reception or building manager know in advance so that staff and guests are not caught off guard. Having this information ready helps us give you a clear, accurate quote on the day and lets your property stay open with minimal interruption.
For hotels and serviced apartments, rooms are handled in batches to keep units available.
