PRE DELIVERY QUALITY INSPECTION
A thorough quality inspection of a property just before it is handed over to the customer. Every square inch of the property is minutely inspected for major to minor defects spanning across all the elements.
At the end of the inspection, a detailed report is prepared highlighting all the underlying defects supported with photographic evidence. Based on this report, the projects team can fix all the defects and thereafter call for a re-inspection. During re-inspection, all the defects reported in the inspection report are verified for their proper resolution.

Our Common Area Inspection service encompasses a meticulous quality assessment of all communal spaces within the project. Every area undergoes a comprehensive inspection to identify defects pertaining to civil, electrical, plumbing, and fixture-related matters. A detailed report, accompanied by photographic evidence, is subsequently submitted, outlining all identified issues.
Following the rectification of noted defects, our team of seasoned engineers conducts a thorough re-inspection to ensure the proper resolution of all reported issues. This diligent process not only aids developers in delivering individual units of the highest quality but also enhances the overall living experience for their customers across the entire project.

MEP ASSETS INSPECTION
PropChk specializes in the thorough examination of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) assets within the project. This audit process is structured into two distinct phases: the Review Phase and the Testing Phase.
During the Review Phase, our experts meticulously compare the Design Basis Report against the As-Built Drawings and the actual on-site conditions. Any discrepancies are promptly identified and highlighted. Additionally, we scrutinize all Testing & Commissioning Reports for various assets, along with their warranties and Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) documents.
In the Testing Phase, rigorous tests are conducted on the assets to ensure adherence to design specifications, proper functionality, operational efficiency, compliance with national codes, and asset safety.
