Do you really need an annual maintenance contract for your apartment in Qrtba, Makkah? For many owners the answer is yes, especially when a building sits in a district that is about 9 km from the centre of Makkah and rises roughly 365 m above sea level. The centre of Qrtba lies at 21.4672, 39.8337, and covers an approximate radius of 1.2 km. Because the area is compact but still a fair drive from the city core, arranging a planned yearly service is usually more practical than waiting for a breakdown and then trying to schedule a technician from across town.
A yearly contract starts with a structured inspection of each unit and the shared areas. The technician checks the condition of fixtures, water and drainage points, electrical outlets and switches, doors, windows, and visible surface finishes. Each finding is recorded so you can see what has changed from one year to the next. Minor repairs found during the visit can be handled on the spot where possible, and larger items are noted with an estimate so you can decide on timing. Every maintenance visit is billed at SAR 160–420 per visit, depending on the scope of work. If the inspection reveals that surfaces need renewing, restoration is priced separately at SAR 55–160 per m², which lets you plan the budget in advance.
Before the visit, clear access to each room and the areas around water points and electrical panels so the technician can work without delay. Note any problems you have noticed since the last service, such as slow drains, damp patches, flickering lights, or doors that stick, and list them in one place. Confirm which rooms are occupied and by whom, and arrange for a contact person who can let the technician in if you are away. Keep your previous service records or photos of earlier repairs, since they help the technician understand the history of the unit and avoid repeating past work.
