Built by a licensed builder. For buyers who won't take chances.
Snagged was founded on a simple principle: every property buyer in the UAE deserves the same rigorous inspection that a licensed builder would demand before signing off on construction.

Why we started Snagged
The UAE's property market moves fast. Developers push handovers, buyers sign under pressure, and defects get buried under fresh paint and polished tiles. We've seen what happens when buyers skip the inspection — costly rectifications, disputes with developers, and properties that simply aren't what was promised.
Snagged was built to fix that. Led by a licensed Australian builder with 15 years of experience working to some of the world's strictest building codes, we apply the same sign-off standards to every inspection across the UAE. If it wouldn't pass a licensed builder's checklist in Australia, it won't pass ours here.
What 'licensed builder standards' actually means
In Australia, a licensed builder is legally accountable for every element of a construction — structural integrity, waterproofing, electrical compliance, plumbing, and finishing. The standards are strict, the codes are detailed, and the sign-off process is rigorous. That's the benchmark we bring to every Snagged inspection across the UAE. Not a checklist. Not a visual walkthrough. A licensed builder's assessment.
Structural assessment
Foundations, load-bearing elements, settlement, cracking — evaluated to the same standard a licensed builder applies before practical completion.
Waterproofing & moisture
One of the most common and costly defects in UAE properties. We test and document every wet area, balcony, and roof membrane.
Electrical compliance
Every circuit, switchboard, outlet, and earthing point — checked against the standards that would be required for a licensed sign-off.
Plumbing & drainage
Pipe runs, fixtures, drainage falls, and hot water systems — inspected for installation quality and code compliance.
Finishing & snagging
Tiling, joinery, paintwork, fixtures, and seals — catalogued with photo evidence and a prioritised defect list.
