Preventive maintenance in Makkah: the local context
Team note on Makkah: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins.. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data, and that single fact shapes where a preventive visit should start. Because the city's ground level is well above the coast, the first things a technician checks in many Makkah homes are the roof drainage outlets, the external wall joints and any water tanks on the roof, since these are the points where rain run-off and heat-driven movement tend to concentrate. A quick look at these areas helps the technician judge whether the building needs attention now or can wait for a planned schedule. The same check also confirms that the drainage paths are clear, which matters in a city where heavy showers can arrive quickly and leave standing water on flat surfaces.
Many of the finer decisions cannot be made from a description alone and are left to the site visit. The technician will walk the property, look at the condition of plaster and paint, test the working of fixtures and see how the building was originally finished. Pricing on a published offer is set within the range of SAR 160–420 per visit for a maintenance visit, and where the work is more involved the restoration rate of SAR 55–160 per m² applies. Which figure applies to a given home depends on what the technician actually finds, so the range is a guide rather than a quote, and the final scope is agreed only after the inspection is complete.
To make the visit efficient, it helps the technician if the resident prepares a few details in advance. Note any past leaks, cracks or repairs, and mention when the roof or tanks were last cleaned or serviced. Clear access to the roof, the utility room and the outdoor drainage points saves time, as does a rough sketch of the rooms that need attention and their approximate area in square metres, which allows the restoration rate to be applied accurately. Tell the technician about any tenants or pets that will be present, and keep a record of the visit and any notes for the next scheduled check. With this information ready, the visit can focus on what matters most for the home.

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.
