Inspect Before You Accept.

A detailed independent inspection of a new or freshly handed-over property — designed to identify defects, incomplete work, and quality issues before you sign the handover.

Every finding is photographed, located precisely, and graded by severity. You receive a developer-ready PDF that puts the burden of repair where it belongs: on the contractor, at their cost.

Studios and 1-bedrooms: 1.5–2.5 hours on site. 2–3 bedrooms: 2–4 hours. Villas: 3–6+ hours depending on size and outdoor zones. The PDF report follows within 24 hours of the visit.

Room-by-room breakdown · high-resolution photographs of every defect · exact location of each issue · severity grading (Critical · Major · Minor) · recommended remedial action · clean summary page formatted for the developer.

The format is built to be undeniable. Clients use it as the basis for negotiation, and developers act on it.

For handover snagging, book your inspection before signing the handover document — once you sign, you accept the property as-is. Aim to inspect 5–10 days before your handover date so there's time to share findings with the developer.

For move-in, inspect within 48 hours of taking occupancy. For move-out, ideally a week before vacating.

Yes — Emaar, Damac, Nakheel, Sobha, Aldar, Meraas, Dubai Properties, and others. Our methodology is developer-agnostic, and our reports are formatted to be accepted by any customer-care team.

Yes — founder Darnell Rieber is a German construction professional and we operate fluently in both English and German. Reports available in either language on request.

You forward the PDF to the developer or landlord, who is then expected to fix the listed issues at their cost — before handover. We provide reasonable follow-up support if there's pushback, including clarifying findings to the customer-care team.

A re-inspection after repairs is available as an add-on.

It's not required, but it's welcome. Many clients are out of the country at handover and we work from access alone. If you'd like to be there, we walk you through findings as we go. Either way, the full PDF report follows within 24 hours.

Yes — for any handover, move-in, or DLP inspection, DEWA (electricity + water) must be active. We need to test sockets, lighting, plumbing pressure, water leaks, AC performance, and appliances. Without utilities, we can only check finishes and structural elements, which limits the value of the report. Move-out and pre-resale inspections are more flexible.

For modern Dubai apartments — absolutely. Thermal imaging reveals hidden moisture, missing insulation, electrical hot spots, and AC duct losses invisible to the eye. That's why we include it on every inspection at no extra cost — it catches issues that often cost tens of thousands to fix later.
