Alkharj sits about 439 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data. For a company planning pre-construction treatment, this height is a practical starting point. A site at this elevation sits in open, dry terrain where ground conditions and surrounding land shape how pests move toward new buildings. Our team takes this into account when surveying the plot before any work begins, so the treatment plan matches the setting rather than a generic template.
The elevation and location lead to a few service decisions. Because a new structure stands out in open ground, bird control is often part of the planning, and it is priced at SAR 30–80 per m, depending on the area and the layout of the roofs and ledges. Rodent control runs at SAR 200–500 per visit, and termite treatment costs SAR 10–25 per m². Each of these figures depends on the size and condition of the site, so we set the scope after a survey rather than quoting one flat rate. Owners who plan these costs early avoid last-minute changes once the foundations are in place.
Companies that run ongoing operations often prefer an annual arrangement. An annual pest-control contract at SAR 500–1,500 per month gives regular visits across the building's life, and a follow-up visit at SAR 100–250 per visit checks that earlier work is holding. A standard pest-control visit costs SAR 150–400 per visit. Owners who avoid the most common mistakes tend to do the following: they skip the survey and treat only what they can see, they wait until pests appear before booking anything, they leave the surrounding ground untreated, and they assume one treatment is enough for the whole year. Planning the schedule from the start keeps the work effective and the budget predictable.
For companies, an annual contract sets the scope, the visit schedule and the reports in writing.

Questions from Alkharj
Does an underground tank require waterproofing even if it is new?
Yes, concrete is naturally porous, which can lead to leaks or groundwater seepage. Applying epoxy or cementitious insulation from the start maintains water quality and protects the structure from corrosion.
Do you need to evacuate the building during renovation work?
It depends on the type and scope of the work. Surface work such as plastering and painting usually does not require evacuation, while partial or full evacuation may be advised in cases of structural reinforcement, and the contractor determines this after inspection.
What is the first step of pre-construction treatment (for companies (annual contract))?
We start with site inspection (soil and moisture conditions), then treatment (applied at the right construction stage).
