Is a warehouse in Ahad Rafida worth insulating, and what will it cost? The answer depends on the surfaces you need to protect and the conditions they face. The centre of Ahad Rafida sits about 2055 m above sea level, so the site is a high-altitude setting where roofs and external walls can take a lot of exposure. For commercial buildings, the main options are priced per square metre. Liquid roof waterproofing runs from SAR 8–25 per m², bitumen membrane from SAR 15–35 per m², spray foam from SAR 20–45 per m², and XPS boards from SAR 12–30 per m². Tank internal coating is SAR 25–60 per m², and epoxy coating SAR 35–90 per m². Crack injection, priced per metre at SAR 40–120 per m, is often needed before any coating is applied.
A visit to a commercial property usually begins with a walk-through of the roof, external walls, and any basement or storage areas. The inspector looks for cracks, ponding water, blistered or failed membranes, and signs of damp on internal walls. Where cracks are present, the length is measured so the crack injection can be quoted per metre. Roof areas and wall surfaces are measured in square metres so that each option can be compared against the same base figures. Water tanks on site are checked for their internal condition, and any basement is assessed for moisture entry. The inspector then notes which surfaces need immediate attention and which can wait, so the work can be phased around your operations.
Before the visit, gather any existing plans or drawings that show the roof and building dimensions, along with the approximate floor area of each warehouse or storage space. Note where leaks or damp have appeared, how long they have been present, and whether any previous repairs were carried out. If the site has water tanks or a basement, make sure access is arranged in advance and that staff can show the inspector the areas concerned. Clear access to the roof is important, so confirm the safety arrangements and any restrictions on working hours. Having these details ready will make the assessment faster and the quotation more accurate for your premises.
For companies, an annual contract sets the scope, the visit schedule and the reports in writing.
