What is specific about Makkah for bird control
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).
Start with the site itself. Makkah's city centre sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), which means the surrounding terrain can shift how birds move between rooftops, courtyards and open land. On rest houses and farms, the first thing we look at is where birds are already roosting, nesting or feeding, because that tells us which spots need attention before any work is quoted. We check roof edges, parapets, water tanks, ventilation openings, palm fronds, feed stores and any gaps where pigeons or sparrows can settle.
Some decisions can only be made on the ground. The exact bird control method, the number of metres of netting or spikes needed, and whether a follow-up visit is required all depend on the layout, access and how heavily the site is affected. The technician will confirm these during the visit. Bird control is charged at SAR 30–85 per m, so the length of protected edge is one of the main factors in the final figure, and the site visit is where that length is measured. If a site also needs a regular service, an annual pest-control contract runs at SAR 525–1,575 per month, and the right level for the property is again set after inspection. Rodent control is quoted at SAR 210–525 per visit, and termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m², so any additional issues found during the visit will be priced separately.
To help the technician, please have the following ready: the approximate roof or perimeter length, the type of building or farm structure, any areas where birds have been seen or where droppings are visible, and whether there are animals, grain, or food waste nearby. Note any previous pest treatments and when they took place. Tell us about access arrangements, including gate codes, working hours and any restrictions on rooftop work. A standard pest-control visit is SAR 160–420 per visit, and a follow-up visit is SAR 105–265 per visit, so knowing whether a return trip will be needed helps you plan the budget. Clear information at the start means the technician can arrive prepared and spend the visit on the work that matters.
Rest houses and farms often have long buried lines, tanks and irrigation that need separate tests.

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.
