Property Inspection, Snagging & Digital Twin Survey Services in the UAE
TerraMetrix provides drone-based property inspection, snagging surveys, and digital twin documentation across the UAE for developers, landlords, asset managers, consultants, and real-estate operators. Services are designed for handover verification, lease condition assessment, asset documentation, and lifecycle monitoring.
Using LiDAR scanning, photogrammetry, and RTK-accurate UAV surveys, TerraMetrix delivers measured floor plans, 3D digital twins, defect mapping, and inspection reports suitable for commercial, residential, and mixed-use properties. All outputs align with engineering, RICS, and authority documentation standards.
Operations cover Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, and Northern Emirates, supporting villas, towers, compounds, warehouses, retail assets, and industrial facilities.
THE SILENT RISK: THE MOMENT YOU RECEIVE A NEW PROPERTY, YOU FACE A SILENT RISK
Most buyers assume a new home is delivered correctly. It rarely is. Hidden defects, alignment issues, moisture intrusion, incorrect dimensions, and unfinished work are often discovered only after handover—when repairs become your responsibility.
Developers expect acceptance based on a quick visual walkthrough. That model protects them, not you.
TerraMetrix replaces assumption with scientific proof.
What We Inspect
TerraMetrix conducts comprehensive property inspection and digital documentation across residential, commercial, and industrial assets in the UAE. Inspections are engineered to identify defects, verify construction accuracy, and establish a measurable baseline of a property’s true condition at handover or during operation.
Residential Properties
Villas, townhouses, apartments, and residential compounds are inspected for construction defects, finishing quality, dimensional accuracy, moisture intrusion, alignment issues, and incomplete works. Inspections support pre-handover snagging, post-handover verification, and long-term asset documentation.
Commercial & Office Buildings
Office towers, mixed-use developments, and commercial assets are inspected to verify floor areas, internal layouts, ceiling heights, façade conditions, and overall building integrity. Surveys support lease condition assessments, acquisition due diligence, and digital twin creation for asset management.
High-Rise Towers & Building Façades
External façades, roofs, cladding systems, balconies, and inaccessible elevations are inspected using drone-based workflows. This enables safe, detailed inspection of structural elements, exterior finishes, and potential defects without scaffolding or rope access.
Industrial, Logistics & Warehouse Facilities
Large-format assets including warehouses, factories, logistics hubs, and industrial buildings are inspected for structural condition, roof integrity, internal layouts, and surface deformation. Digital twins and measured plans support compliance, refurbishment planning, and operational management.
Retail & Hospitality Assets
Shopping centers, retail units, hotels, and serviced apartments are inspected for handover quality, spatial accuracy, and defect identification. Inspections support operator onboarding, refurbishment planning, and lifecycle asset tracking.
Common Areas & Shared Infrastructure
Lobbies, corridors, podiums, parking structures, service rooms, rooftops, and shared facilities are documented and inspected as part of full-building surveys, ensuring no asset components are excluded from handover or condition records.
WHY BUYERS CHOOSE TERRAMETRIX BEFORE ACCEPTING A PROPERTY
A missed defect can cost AED 10,000. A hidden moisture or structural issue can exceed AED 100,000–200,000. TerraMetrix removes uncertainty by delivering measurable, engineering-grade evidence.
Every inspection includes:
millimetre-accurate LiDAR scans
thermal and moisture anomaly detection
deviation mapping of walls, floors, ceilings, and installations
photographic evidence log
contractor-ready defect list
a permanent digital twin stored for long-term reference
Nothing depends on trust. Everything depends on data.
Property Inspection Services in the UAE
TerraMetrix provides drone-based and sensor-driven property inspection services designed to replace subjective visual walkthroughs with measurable, verifiable data. Inspections capture the true physical condition of assets at handover, acquisition, or during operation, eliminating blind spots caused by inaccessible areas, human oversight, or time-constrained inspections.
Using UAV platforms, high-resolution imaging, and spatial data capture, inspections cover interiors, exteriors, rooftops, façades, and structural elements. Outputs are suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial properties, supporting buyers, owners, developers, consultants, and asset managers across the UAE.
Precision Documentation
Snagging & Defect Survey Services
Snagging and defect surveys are executed as systematic, evidence-backed inspections rather than checklist-based walkthroughs. All defects are documented with photo references, spatial context, and severity classification to ensure accountability at handover.
What We Identify
  • Finishing defects
  • Alignment issues
  • Surface damage
  • Incomplete works
  • Moisture intrusion
  • Installation errors
  • Construction deviations
Reports provide a defensible record for developer handover, dispute resolution, and corrective action before liability transfers to the owner.
Digital Twin & As-Built Documentation
TerraMetrix produces engineering-grade digital twins and as-built documentation using LiDAR scanning and photogrammetry. Physical assets are converted into measurable digital representations that reflect real-world conditions, not design intent.
Deliverables include 2D CAD floor plans, 3D models, point clouds, and spatial datasets suitable for asset management, renovations, leasing, compliance, and long-term lifecycle monitoring. Digital twins serve as a permanent reference layer for future inspections, modifications, and operational planning.

Property Inspection & Digital Twin FAQs
What is a digital twin in property inspection?
A digital twin is a measured 3D representation of a physical asset created using LiDAR and imagery, reflecting actual site conditions rather than design drawings.
Are drone-based inspections approved in the UAE?
Yes. All TerraMetrix UAV operations comply with GCAA regulations and approved flight frameworks.
How accurate are the floor plans and models?
Measured plans and models are generated from RTK-referenced data and LiDAR scans, providing high spatial accuracy suitable for professional use.
Can this replace manual snagging inspections?
Yes. Drone-based and data-driven inspections reduce oversight, improve coverage, and provide permanent evidence.
What formats are deliverables provided in?
Deliverables include CAD files, PDFs, 3D models, point clouds, and image-based reports.
