Pre-construction treatment for clinics in Makkah
In short: Pre-construction treatment for clinics in Makkah starts with the inspection and diagnosis, then the soil treatment and wall injection, before anything is opened. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Pricing starts from Termite treatment (SAR 10–25 per m²), and other items are quoted after the visit.
Why pre-construction treatment differs in Makkah
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).
Makkah's city centre sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), a fact that matters for clinic owners planning pre-construction treatment. Its hot, dry climate and dense urban fabric shape which pests are most likely to appear around new buildings, so the service plan begins with the site itself rather than a generic template.
Because the area is high-traffic and built up, the practical effect on the service is that treatment must be scheduled around construction phases and the clinic's future hygiene needs. Bird control is priced at SAR 30–85 per m, which suggests owners should measure ledges, roof edges and openings early so that proofing is installed before fit-out begins. Termite treatment at SAR 10–25 per m² is best applied to foundations and wall lines before finishing materials cover them, and rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit is easier to manage when entry points are sealed at the same stage. Pest-control visits at SAR 160–420 per visit can then be planned around the building's handover date rather than repeated reactively.
Owners who plan well avoid several common mistakes. They do not wait until the interior is finished to deal with pests, because sealing and treating concealed spaces later is far more disruptive. They do not treat one pest in isolation when birds, rodents and termites often share the same entry routes. They also avoid choosing a one-off visit with no follow-up: a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit allows results to be checked, and an annual pest-control contract at SAR 525–1,575 per month keeps a clinic protected once it opens. Planning these costs and visits from the outset gives a cleaner, more predictable route to opening day.
For clinics, work is scheduled around patient hours and kept to the areas that need it.

Common questions about pre-construction treatment in Makkah
What does finishing work typically include?
It covers plastering, painting, flooring, stone or marble walls, ceilings, gypsum, doors, windows, and final electrical and plumbing installations. You can request full or partial finishing, with the scope clearly defined in the price quote.
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.
Does waterproofing require removing existing tiles?
It depends on the site condition. Sometimes surface waterproofing can be applied over tiles, while deep leaks require tile removal to treat the layer underneath. A technician will determine the best option after inspection.

You receive: a treatment report for the property file, in a technical report with a verification code.
If you live in Makkah and are new to the area
- If you rent, tell your landlord or building management before the visit and agree in writing who pays; the written report can be shared with them.
- Keep photos of the problem and of any earlier repairs — they help the technician compare before and after.
- Prices are in Saudi riyals (SAR); the final price is confirmed after the inspection, before any work starts.
- Have access ready to the water meter, the tank hatches, the roof and the main valve; in apartment buildings the roof keys are often with the building guard (haris).
