What is included
A new home is handed over with defects the eye misses in a short walk round: a door that binds, a hollow tile, a slow drain, a hairline crack, an AC that cools one room and not the next. Once the handover form is signed, getting them fixed is slower. The MELLS walks the home room by room with a written checklist, a moisture meter, a thermal camera and a spirit level, lists and photographs every defect, and sends a clear report you can hand to the developer. When the developer says the list is done, we come back and check each item again.
- Walls, ceilings and floors checked under raking light for cracks, hollows, chips and uneven joints
- Doors, windows, wardrobes and kitchen cabinets opened, closed and checked for alignment and seals
- Tiles tapped for hollow spots, grout and silicone checked in every wet area
- Taps run, drains tested for flow and leaks, water heaters and pressure checked
- Sockets, switches and lights tested, the distribution board labelled and checked
- AC cooling checked room by room, with drain lines and grilles inspected
- Thermal imaging and moisture readings on walls, ceilings and around wet areas
- A written report with photographs and locations, ready for the developer, and a re inspection after repair
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Booking against your handover date. You send the developer's inspection or handover date, and the inspection is planned for that slot, with the floor plan and specification if you have them.
- Room by room inspection. The inspector works through every room, the outside areas and the building services with a written checklist, a moisture meter, a thermal camera and a spirit level.
- Defects numbered and photographed. Each defect is numbered, located on the plan and photographed, so the developer's team can find it without guesswork.
- Report within 48 hours. The written report reaches you within 48 hours, in a format you can send straight to the developer.
- Re inspection. When the developer says the list is done, every item is checked again and anything still open is recorded in an updated report.

Snagging & Handover Inspection in Ras Al Hidd: what we plan for
One of the four original phases of Hidd Al Saadiyat, with large detached villas, private pools and short walks to the shore. We work room by room, protect the floors and furniture around the work area and leave the rest of the house undisturbed.
A typical villa has several split and ducted systems, a pool plant room and water tanks. We map the equipment on the first visit so each later service starts with its history.
Security at the gate checks every contractor against the villa, so the owner or house manager registers our team in advance. Exterior changes, including colour, need the master community's approval, which we identify at the site visit and prepare the paperwork for.
