\nAmlak's desire to get to know closely the nature of the concerns and issues of young people who take on the task of directly supervising the implementation of the construction of their homes through contractors, and not through the ownership of ready-made homes offered by real estate companies, Amlak took a live tour in more than one neighborhood where the new construction of houses is spreading, we met the owners of these projects, the projects of building the future home and the dream of years. We asked them about all the issues they face, in order to put them in front of the decision makers, and so that the specialists and decision makers recognize the suffering of these young people and take them into account in order to work to overcome them, and seek to develop solutions, even if far-reaching, to address them. Our interview was conducted with professors Muhammad Al-Shadoukhi, Fahad Al-Jaryan, Khaled Al-Aqeel, Abdulmohsen Al-Nusairi, Khaled Al-Shadoukhi, Khaled Al-Jalawi, Ali Saud Al-Mariba, and Ibrahim Muhammad Saad. We also surveyed the opinion of contractor Khalil Sayer Al-Subaie, General Manager of Al-Sahman Contracting Corporation, about the opinions raised by these young people, so let's listen to the outcome of this constructive dialog:
\n\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640\u0640<\/p>\n
The dream of owning a home!
\nA number of young Saudis appealed to state officials to support them in realizing the dream of building and owning a house, and to take all means that help them turn this dream into reality and reality, and these young people put in the context of a survey conducted by \u201dAmlak\u201d a list of requirements that they saw that the state can adopt to help them reach this goal and own the house where it was normal in the past to see every Saudi living in his own home owned and not rented!!!<\/p>\n
Raise Real Estate Fund Loans
\nIn their interview with Amlak, these young people - who follow up the implementation of the construction of their homes directly through contractors, not through real estate companies - said that at the forefront of these requirements, which they believe the state can work to achieve, is the consideration of raising the value of the loans provided by the Real Estate Development Fund to citizens, where they confirmed that the value of the loan is not enough to meet the need for construction, but does not exceed 50 to 70% of the construction cost, and they wished they had received the loan in one payment and not in installments, so that this would help them increase the rate of fulfillment of the cost of construction.<\/p>\n
Block. The most difficult problems
\nThe youth also called on officials to work to provide the market with the necessary basic building materials at reasonable prices such as: They said that the most difficult issue they face in obtaining basic building materials is blocks. They said that if blocks were separated from ready-mix concrete factories, this would help speed up the construction process, as this material would be more available in the market than at present.
\n\u201dWe are tired of foreigners and their manipulation and lack of credibility, and we hope that our countrymen will work in this field, and that our money will go to the pockets of citizens,\u201d they said through their experiences with foreigners in the construction of their homes: \u201cWe hope to God Almighty that we will find Saudi youth doing the construction process, because this field has a lot of good, and we hope that the officials at the General Organization for Technical and Vocational Education will pay attention to this point, encourage young people to enter this field, and support them in this task with the labor office.\u201d. <\/p>\n
Scarcity of skilled labor and appointments!
\nAmlak asked young people about the most difficult issues they face in construction, based on their real-life experiences, whether it is the contractor, tiler, electrician, permits, supply of building materials, or other aspects. The answers came to confirm that the most prominent and most difficult of these issues are the lack of punctuality of workers, the lack of availability of experienced labor in a timely manner, and even the dates may extend to several months, as well as the frequent issues of block supply, and they said that if this material was available, they would not find difficulties in building.
\nThey added that the usual difficulties are: They said that each stage of construction has its own issues, but the bone stage is considered one of the most difficult stages, because it is the basis for the rest of the stages, and therefore dealing with the contractor, and the supply of basic materials such as iron, cement and blocks are the most difficult issues. <\/p>\n
\u201cAmlak and a field tour
\n\u201cAmlak\u201d asked the youth about the issues they face in detail through their experiences in the construction process and its follow-up, where \u201cAmlak\u201d chose through its field tour the youth who are still following the stages of building their homes. In the issue of obtaining building permits, some described this process as an easy routine transaction, and some even considered it very easy, but others demanded reworking its method to be easier.
\nWhen asked how our interlocutors view the prices of building materials at the present time, opinions varied between those who see them as too high, those who see them as relatively high for foundation materials, and those who see them as reasonable to some extent, some of whom answered wishing God and then the rulers to consider the issue of high prices of building materials, and those who said: \u201cGod help us...\u201d. As for the finishing materials, some said that the choices are multiple, allowing freedom of choice.<\/p>\n
Iron prices
\nAs for the prices of iron at the beginning of construction, our interlocutors said that they ranged between 2100 riyals for a ton of 14 mm, 2200 riyals, and 2700 riyals, and about the villa's iron needs for its construction, they said that it needed between 25 tons to 33 tons, and the price of the bone without materials (contractor), the answers varied between 85 riyals (hand work only) without materials, without decoration, 100 riyals, 110 riyals per meter and up to 140 riyals depending on the plan and decorations.
\nAs for the price of a meter of liasa without materials (contractor), they said that it varies between 6 to 8 riyals, varying from one master to another according to experience and area, \u201cand you rarely find the expert liasa.\u201d As for the prices of paints and labor (piece\/meter), the answers were relatively high, and it is better to agree by piece for large areas after determining the demand and type, while an investor saw that a meter is better for him than a piece, and some said that ordinary paints are suitable prices, good is worth its value, while poor is not worth half its value!
\nSome said that they \u201cprefer to make paints the last thing in construction, even if they are satisfied with basic paints until they rest a little from the financial burdens of construction, and then they repaint the entire house with the best types.\u201d They said that they prefer the meter over the piece, and full supervision of the painting process and labor hands as well, and one of them pointed out that good paints cost 12 riyals per meter with materials.<\/p>\n
Skilled tiler is rare
\nAs for the price of tiles, there is a clear disparity between 10-15 riyals per square meter for tiles, 15 riyals for ceramic tiles (walls and floors), and 16-20 riyals for marble, and they say that \u201cthe most difficult thing is getting a tiler with high expertise. Another adds that the price of the tiler varies according to the type of tiles, as regular tiles and ceramic tiles are 15 riyals per meter, while marble is priced at 18 riyals, and the linear meter is calculated at 4 riyals.
\nAs for the price of carpentry, it is 180 riyals for a meter of press type, 180-200 riyals for Syrian press, 50 riyals for a meter without materials, 200 riyals for a meter of Syrian, 250 riyals for press, and one of the speakers says: \u201cThe carpenter is usually part of the contractor's work, but according to my knowledge, the carpenter charges approximately 40 riyals per meter,\u201d while the price of the blacksmith is Luxan: 400 riyals and sheet metal: 220, and like the carpenter, the blacksmith charges about 30 riyals, and there are those who work only by the day, and another adds: \u201cPrices vary and range between 400 and 1400 riyals, 500 riyals for a worked meter, 270 riyals for a meter of sheet iron prepared for work, and Kasan 440 riyals for an internal meter.\u201d. <\/p>\n
Regular concrete is better than ready-mixed
\n\u201cAmlak\u201d asked about the price of concrete, and which is better ready-mixed or regular, and some thought that ready-mixed concrete is better for narrow places, while regular is better in terms of quality, and as for the prices, they are all high and the appointments of teachers are not accurate, others believe that the price of concrete is exaggerated compared to cement prices, and prefer ready-mixed to regular, while some disagree and think that regular is better than ready-mixed, and another person adds that \u201cprices are high, but they have become acceptable in the eyes of everyone, and each type has its advantages and also its disadvantages, and the cost remains close to the same.\u201d.
\nThe conversation moved on to another issue related to how easy or difficult it is to obtain basic utilities for the home and whether our speakers faced issues in obtaining an electricity meter. The answers ranged from those who said that the services of the electricity company have improved from the past, but in return the price has increased, to those who said they \u201cdid not face issues\u201d and those who said that checking with the electricity company is not without issues, the least of which is the long appointment period.\u201d.<\/p>\n
No issues with the municipality
\nAs for dealing with the municipality, the responses were almost unanimous that there are no problems with the municipality, and that all its employees are cooperative, while one of them mentioned that he faced some problems due to waste, and others mentioned that the most difficult issues they faced were the land deed, then the plan, then completing the conditions of the municipality, as for the water company issues, the positions varied between those who did not face problems, and by agreement avoid falling into these issues, and those who face issues related to the area where the building is built, especially when it is not covered by the water network.
\nSome of them said: \u201cThere must be issues, but they are negligible, and most of them with me and others are the mismatch between the plan and the actual land area,\u201d while others complained that \u201cthere are no designers with a high level of craftsmanship, the prices are exaggerated, and the design is not from A to Z. \u201dThere are no designers with a high level of craftsmanship, the prices are exaggerated, and the design is not from A to Z.\" Others stated that the disagreements were only on certain parts, such as room sizes and the amount of iron, while some faced an issue with the nature of the land, as it was longitudinal.<\/p>\n
The secret to choosing a lot size
\nAs for the secret of choosing the area of the building land, and whether the decision was based on the high price of land\/shortage of materials\/filling the need of the person and his family, some felt that the decision was governed by the high price of land, the high price of the cost of construction, or to fill the need at the present time or in the future, while one said: \u201cAs an investor, I chose this area according to the desire of a large segment of the community.\u201d.
\nFor what purpose was the house designed: For a future need\/for now\/commercial, some said: For a commercial purpose at the moment, it can be used later when needed due to its attention to the quality of the basic materials, or to fill a future need, while opening a small field for investment, and as for the basis on which the facade of the house was chosen: Air direction in summer and winter \/ sun access \/ low price, most of the answers talked about the direction of the air and sun access as long as possible, some of them said that they had to buy the plot of land because they wanted to live in a certain neighborhood, and some of them mentioned that the low price was the deciding factor.
\nFinally, we asked our interlocutors whether they expected to make amendments to the villa plan later, some of them answered in the negative, some of them left the possibility of such an amendment, some of them said to avoid some mistakes in the buildings, and another said: \u201dMaybe. Anything is possible, I might want to remove a wall or add another.\u201d.
\ncontractor: Our prices are reasonable
\nMr. Khalil Sayer Al-Subaie, General Manager of Al-Sahman Contracting, stated that he provides construction services to citizens at reasonable prices, pointing out that the issue of varying prices depends on the way the plan is designed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
