What is specific about Makkah for concrete crack repair
The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

The most common problem we see at rest houses and farms in Makkah is cracking in concrete floors, yards, boundary walls and roof slabs. Hairline cracks often appear first in courtyards and around water tanks, then widen as the concrete expands and contracts through hot days and cool nights. Left alone, small gaps let water and dust reach the reinforcement, and what began as a cosmetic problem can turn into a structural one. Our crack repair work for these properties usually starts with a simple inspection to map where the cracks run and how deep they go.
The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level, and that matters more than it might seem. The city's heat, dry air and sudden rain showers place steady stress on concrete surfaces, so a repair that works on a flat city-centre floor may not hold on a farm yard that gets sun all afternoon. For rest houses and farms, we therefore look at drainage, sun exposure and the traffic a surface carries before choosing a filler, sealant or resurfacing method. Work is usually priced per visit for inspection and small fixes, which costs SAR 160–420 per visit, or per square metre for larger restoration, at SAR 55–160 per m².
Before the visit, it helps to have a few details ready. Tell us the approximate area affected, whether the cracks are in floors, walls or roofs, and whether they have grown over the past year. Note any damp patches, staining or loose edges, and mention if the property is used daily or only seasonally, since that affects the repair choice. Photos taken in daylight from a few angles are very helpful. With this information, the inspection can focus on the right areas, and you will receive a clear explanation of what is needed before any work begins.
Rest houses and farms often have long buried lines, tanks and irrigation that need separate tests.

Short answers for Makkah
What does finishing work typically include?
It covers plastering, painting, flooring, stone or marble walls, ceilings, gypsum, doors, windows, and final electrical and plumbing installations. You can request full or partial finishing, with the scope clearly defined in the price quote.
Is it possible to renovate the building without evacuating the residents?
In many cases it can be carried out in phases without a full evacuation if the damage is limited. However, for extensive structural renovation, a temporary evacuation may be recommended to ensure safety, and the contractor will explain this in their proposal.
Does waterproofing require removing existing tiles?
It depends on the site condition. Sometimes surface waterproofing can be applied over tiles, while deep leaks require tile removal to treat the layer underneath. A technician will determine the best option after inspection.
