Before we start: what we know about Jazan

Team note on Jazan: 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 Jazan sits about 7 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Jazan is about 1.9 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).

Picture the administrator of a private school in Jazan who is planning a new building. Before the first brick is laid, the team wants the site protected from insects, rodents and birds, so that classrooms, kitchens and storerooms stay clean from the day the doors open. Such a project usually has tight deadlines, and the people responsible want a clear plan that they can explain to parents and inspectors.

The local setting matters here. The centre of Jazan sits about 7 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and Jazan is about 1.9 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap). A site this close to the coast, and this low, is exposed to humid air and to pests that move easily between open land, water and built-up areas. For a school, that means treatment should be planned into the construction timetable rather than added after handover, because soil and structural treatments are much easier to apply before walls, floors and services are closed up.

For a school owner in this position, the practical order usually runs as follows. First, arrange a survey of the plot and the building outline before foundations are poured, so the contractor can treat the soil and note where termite protection is needed. Second, budget for termite treatment, which is charged at SAR 10–25 per m², and for bird control, which is charged at SAR 30–80 per m² of the affected area, since roof edges, courtyards and walkways are common nesting points. Third, plan for rodent control at SAR 200–500 per visit, and schedule an initial pest-control visit at SAR 150–400 per visit to confirm that treatments have taken effect. Fourth, after handover, sign an annual pest-control contract at SAR 500–1,500 per month and add follow-up visits at SAR 100–250 each, so that monitoring continues through term time and holidays.

For schools, the larger jobs are planned for weekends and holidays.
