Frequently Asked Questions About This Service
What is the difference between a restoration and a modification permit?
Restoration addresses the condition of an existing building — cracks, structural rehabilitation, façade refurbishment — without materially changing its components, whereas a modification permit covers changing those components: adding floors, extending, or changing the use.
When does a building need structural restoration?
When widening cracks, reinforcement corrosion, weakened structural elements or significant damp and water ingress appear. A structural inspection with proper instruments is what establishes the true extent of the treatment required.
Does a restoration permit need a technical report?
Yes. The engineering office prepares a technical report assessing the building's condition and defining the scope of treatment, submitted together with the approved restoration drawings on Balady through to issuance of the permit.
Can an old building be restored without a permit?
Restoration work affecting structural elements or façades requires formal authorisation, and proceeding without it exposes the owner to violations. The permit also ensures the treatment is carried out to the Saudi Building Code.
