Is insulation worth the cost for a commercial unit or warehouse in an apartment block in Sharurah? Owners here often ask this first, and the answer depends on the surface being treated and the condition it is in. Sharurah's centre sits about 724 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so buildings face a dry upland setting, but the choice of insulation and waterproofing still depends on where moisture and heat get in. Our figures give a clear starting point: spray foam runs SAR 20–45 per m², XPS boards SAR 12–30 per m², and liquid roof waterproofing SAR 8–25 per m², so you can compare the options for each part of the building before deciding.
The inspection begins with a walk through the whole property, starting at the roof and working down to the basement. The inspector checks for cracks in walls and floors, since crack injection is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre and must be measured to be quoted properly. Roof surfaces are assessed for liquid roof waterproofing or bitumen membrane, priced at SAR 8–25 and SAR 15–35 per m² respectively. Below ground, basement waterproofing (SAR 50–150 per m²) is examined for damp patches, and wet rooms are checked for bathroom waterproofing at SAR 15–40 per m². Any water storage tanks are inspected for tank internal coating at SAR 25–60 per m², and floors that need epoxy coating (SAR 35–90 per m²) are noted. The inspector then records the measured areas so the quote reflects the actual surfaces.
Before the visit, gather the building's plans or floor measurements, so the inspector can estimate square metres and linear metres accurately. Note any areas where you have seen damp, stains, peeling paint, or cracks, and when they first appeared. Clear access to the roof, basement, bathrooms and tank room, and let the inspector know if any tenants will need notice. Having these details ready lets the visit focus on the work that matters and gives you a clear, itemised basis for deciding which insulation and waterproofing to carry out.
In apartment buildings, the floor below is often where a leak shows first.
