Before we start: what we know about Makkah
The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Pre-construction treatment in Makkah starts with the ground itself. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level according to SRTM open elevation data, and that single figure shapes how a technician reads a plot before any product goes down. Drainage paths, low corners where water and soil collect, and the line where fill meets natural ground all matter when a site is treated before foundations are poured. A plot that looks dry on the surface can still hold moisture in its lower sections, so the first checks are about where water would travel and where it would pool once a building stands.
Several things are left to the site visit, because they cannot be settled from a desk. The technician walks the boundary, notes existing trees, rubbish, stored materials and any open cavities, and checks for signs of bird roosting on nearby structures or rodent runs along walls and fences. Pricing is set only after measurement. Bird control is quoted per metre, at SAR 30–85 per m, so the length of ledges, parapets and roof edges has to be confirmed on the ground. Termite treatment is quoted per square metre, at SAR 10–25 per m², so the treated area and the soil conditions are assessed in person. Rodent control runs at SAR 210–525 per visit, and the number of visits needed depends on what the walk-through finds. Any ongoing arrangement follows the same logic: an annual pest-control contract is SAR 525–1,575 per month, a follow-up visit is SAR 105–265 per visit, and a standard pest-control visit is SAR 160–420 per visit, with the final scope agreed only after inspection.
For the technician, the most useful information is a clear record of the site before treatment begins. Note the elevation context, the drainage direction, the boundary dimensions, the surfaces that need bird control in metres, and the soil area for termite work in square metres. Photograph access points and entry gaps so follow-up visits start from the same baseline. Record which services are already in place and which are planned, so that treatment does not disturb later work. Keeping these details together lets the next visit be planned accurately and lets the client see exactly what was treated and why.
Each job ends with a written report that carries a verification code you can check on our site.

Questions from 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.

Planning the visit in Makkah
- 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).
- Prices are in Saudi riyals (SAR); the final price is confirmed after the inspection, before any work starts.
