What is specific about Makkah for pre-construction treatment
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).
Pre-construction treatment in Makkah is usually about stopping termites and other soil pests before they reach a new building's foundations and slabs. The most common problem for this property type is that ground-level pests move in from undisturbed soil during and right after construction, when the earth is opened up and the building has not yet been sealed. Termite treatment is typically priced at SAR 10–25 per m², and the work is most effective when it is done before the concrete is poured, so that the treated soil sits directly beneath the structure.
Local conditions shape how the work is planned. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so site drainage and how water collects around new foundations should be checked before any treatment is designed. Pests tend to follow damp ground, and a site that holds water is harder to protect with a single application. The treatment team will also want to see the planned layout, including basements, service ducts and any areas where soil will be disturbed later, because these points are where pests find entry.
Before the visit, ask for a written scope that states the treated area in square metres, the termite treatment rate, and whether the price covers a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit. Ask whether bird control is needed for open roof spaces, which is priced at SAR 30–85 per m, and whether rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit is included if the site is near food sources. Ask how the work will be documented and when the first inspection will take place. Compare the pest-control visit rate of SAR 160–420 per visit and any annual contract of SAR 525–1,575 per month, so you know what continues after handover.
