When these works are needed
- 1
A new central HVAC project
In commercial, government and industrial buildings, fitting units and ducts is not enough. You need electrical runs sized for the loads, a control panel that starts and stops equipment in the right order, and pumps and pipework designed for the building.
- 2
Extending an existing HVAC system
Adding units or new control zones means extra load on the panel and new control cabling. We review the available capacity on site and define what the extension needs before any work starts.
- 3
Electrical faults stopping the equipment
A unit that will not start despite being in good order, a pump that burns out repeatedly, breakers tripping for no clear reason: these are usually a wiring or panel problem, not a fault in the equipment, and need diagnosis from a technician who understands both sides.
Who it's for
Building a new commercial or government project
We review drawings with the main contractor and take on power panels, electrical runs, control automation, pumps and ventilation from start to handover.
Ask on WhatsAppYour HVAC equipment keeps breaking down
We diagnose the electrical and mechanical side of the system and identify whether the fault is in the panel, the wiring or the control circuits before any work begins.

How we work
How we work
- 1
Review project drawings
We go through the electrical and mechanical drawings with the designer or main contractor and define the power requirements and cable routes before any materials are prepared.
- 2
Site coordination
Electro-mechanical works cross paths with civil works and finishes. We follow the site programme and agree the sequence with other contractors so no trade is held up by a clash.
- 3
Run cables and fit equipment
We pull cables, mount panels, pumps and ventilation fans, then wire the control and automation circuits according to the approved site drawings.
- 4
Coordinated testing and start-up
We test each circuit individually then run the full system together with the AC equipment, checking that automation starts and stops everything in the right order before handover.
Planned coordination or clashes that delay the project?
| Alrabih | The usual way | |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical panel | Sized for the actual load | Rough sizing causes problems later |
| Control wiring | Documented to drawings | Run without documentation |
| Site coordination | Followed with every trade | Each trade works in isolation |
| Start-up test | Full test before handover | Faults found after handover |
| Change documentation | Recorded at handover | Verbal changes, no record |

What sets this district apart
Al Balad's historic buildings require precise electro-mechanical work because space is tight, foundations are old, and pre-run cable routes may not exist. This means careful planning of wire and pipe paths through load-bearing walls and ceilings, and close coordination with the builders to avoid trade clashes. The AC or chiller distribution panel and controls need a safe, accessible location for future maintenance.
Al Balad lies at the heart of historic Jeddah, an area of heritage stone buildings, narrow streets, and complex architectural spaces.
Most AC work in Al Balad relies on central systems due to the historic buildings' size, requiring robust control panels and multiple electrical runs.
The AC setup in Al Balad
- 1
Central AC system with a robust control panel
Large heritage buildings in Al Balad need a robust power panel and multiple control wires to manage indoor and outdoor units across the complex.
- 2
Runs through stone walls and ceilings
Wires and pipes run through thick stone walls and old ceilings, requiring precise engineering and code-grade protection conduits.
- 3
Full documentation of all runs and connections
We provide full documentation of wire and pipe routes and connection points for easy future maintenance in these heritage buildings.
Before the visit
Before our visit in Al Balad
- 1
Obtain the complete engineering drawings
Make sure the engineer has sent us the structural, electrical and mechanical drawings before the visit date.
- 2
Confirm the control and distribution panel location
Agree with the contractor and engineer on the exact location for the panel in a plant room or corridor, and brief us before we visit.
- 3
Ensure safe access to elevated locations
If outdoor units or ducts are roof-mounted, ensure safe ladders and fall protection are ready for the team during installation.

FAQ
Questions about Electro-mechanical works
Can you handle the electro-mechanical works when there is already another civil contractor on site?
Yes. We work as a specialist subcontractor alongside the main contractor, coordinating cable routes, pipework and equipment positions with the other trades on site. Before work begins, we identify where our scope crosses the civil and structural work and agree on the sequence of installation to avoid clashes.
What is the difference between the power circuit and the control circuit in an HVAC project?
The power circuit carries current from the panel to the compressor, motor or fan; cable size is set by the load. The control circuit carries low-voltage signals between sensors, thermostats and the controller; it issues run, stop and modulation commands. A fault in either circuit disables the whole system, so each is routed and terminated independently.
Does your work include connecting the automation system to a building management network?
Yes, when a building management network is already present on site. We connect the HVAC control units to the designated interface points and test signal exchange between the two sides. Protocol details and configuration are agreed with the team responsible for the building management network before installation begins.
How do you handle a clash between cable routes and ducts or pipework?
We identify clashes at the planning stage before installation starts, then consult the relevant trades to agree on an alternative route. If a site resolution is not possible, the clash is escalated to the project supervisor for a decision. Priority is always given to keeping the correct bending radius for cables and the required fall on condensate drain pipes, as compromising either affects system performance.
How do you handle a clash between cable routes and ducts or pipework?
Clashes between cable routes, ducts and pipework are common on medium and large projects. We identify them during the drawing review stage, before any trenching or pulling begins, and agree an alternative route with the trades involved. Changing a route on paper is far simpler than reworking it on site.
How do you safely route electrical wiring through old buildings?
We carefully plan routes to avoid load-bearing walls and old foundations, use standards-compliant protection conduits, and agree each step with the main contractor.
Do you coordinate with other trades on site?
Yes, coordination with electricians, plumbers and builders is essential because wire and pipe routes may cross in these tight historic buildings.
Where do you place the AC control panel in Al Balad buildings?
We choose a safe, accessible spot in a plant room or corridor, away from moisture and water risk, with space for future maintenance.
Pipes and wires together, how do you avoid clashing designs?
We review the full project drawings before visiting, maintain code-compliant gaps between runs, and document any changes with the engineer and contractor's approval.
