Is it worth restoring an old warehouse in Al Mrwa rather than simply replacing it? For many owners the answer depends on the building's condition and its location. Al Mrwa sits at 24.5387, 46.6741, about 19.4 km from the centre of Riyadh, and its centre is around 652 m above sea level. The nearest wadi channel is about 2.8 km away, which is worth knowing when you assess how water moves across a site after heavy rain. Restoration typically runs at SAR 55–160 per m², while a maintenance visit costs SAR 160–420 per visit, so a clear picture of the structure helps you decide which route makes sense.

Our inspection starts with a walk through the full warehouse, checking the roof, walls, floor slab, doors and drainage points for cracks, moisture staining, corrosion and loose fixings. The team notes the areas that need attention, measures the affected surfaces so the work can be priced per square metre, and separates urgent repairs from work that can wait for a planned schedule. Where the site sits near a wadi channel, drainage and ground levels around the building are reviewed with particular care. The inspector then explains the findings in plain terms and sets out the options, so you can compare a basic repair against a fuller restoration before any work begins.

To make the visit productive, prepare the building's ownership papers and any earlier reports, plans or invoices for past repairs. Clear access to the roof, the loading bays and the drainage outlets so the inspector can check them safely, and note any leaks, damp patches or changes you have seen since the last rainy season. It also helps to tell us how the warehouse is used, since heavy loads, frequent vehicle movement and stored goods all affect the choice of repair. With this information ready, the inspection can move straight to practical recommendations for your site.

For warehouses, work is phased around operations and stored goods.
