W.salam Mohsin, What kind of guidance you need?

All you need to have valid visa, booked accommodation (initially a hotel) and few usable items like plates, frying pans etc.

For me company provides the visa . I need to pay for my Wife and my daughter of age 1 year.

Can you please help me in understanding the total cost of the visa .

Do I get a house for rent to stay for 3 months in Riyadh

Dear Mohsadster, Once you will come to Saudi, you will apply for family visit visa for 3 months through a portal i.e. visa.mofa.gov.sa . Your family has to pay aprox. 3000 riyal each at Pakistan while processing visa. I would recommend not to bring your family here if you are coming here for 3 months only. since it will cost you much.

Its difficult to find a house for 3 months.. normally its 6 months paid.

No you can't, you'll need to arrive here first alone, get a residency permit and then apply for permanent visa for la familia....
