Restoration Permit
Overview

What is this service?

An official authorisation to restore and repair an existing building — treating cracks, rehabilitating structural elements, refurbishing façades — without materially changing the building's components, returning it to sound condition through technical repairs. ABAK assesses the building's condition, prepares the technical report and approved restoration drawings, and files them on Balady through to issuance.

Why do you need this service?

Carries out restoration works lawfully under formal authorisation.

Confirms the building remains structurally sound after restoration.

Avoids the violations that come with working without a permit.

Extends the building's service life and protects its occupants.

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.
