Survey software for Saudi Arabia

Property inspection and snagging app for Saudi Arabia

PropertySurvey Pro is the app for handover snagging, rental condition reports and facilities inspections in Saudi Arabia. It is free to download, works offline on iPhone, iPad and Android, and produces the PDF on site.

Inspection work in Saudi Arabia follows the new housing supply: handing over homes in new communities and off-plan projects, recording condition for leases registered on Ejar, and keeping large estates in good repair. PropertySurvey Pro covers each of these as a structured, photo-led report that you finish before leaving the site.

Housing is a Vision 2030 priority. The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing states a goal of raising Saudi home ownership to 70% by 2030, and the Real Estate General Authority (REGA) licenses off-plan sale and lease projects through its Wafi platform. More new homes mean more handovers, and more buyers and landlords who want a written record of what they received.

The climate changes the defects you look for. Inland Riyadh is hot and dry, with dust, strong sun on roofs and sealants, and wide swings between day and night temperatures. Jeddah on the Red Sea and Dammam on the Gulf add high humidity to the heat, so condensation around AC units and ducts, corrosion of exposed metal and mould in closed rooms turn up more often on the coasts.

Snagging inspectors, buyers' engineers and developers' handover teams

Handover snagging for new homes in Saudi Arabia

PropertySurvey Pro lets you snag a new villa or apartment in Saudi Arabia room by room, with a photograph and location for every defect and a PDF snag list ready for the developer at handover.

On large communities, unit types repeat, so location is everything. Put the project, building, floor and unit on every report, and use the same Smart Builder template across a phase so lists from different inspectors line up. For off-plan purchases, which REGA licenses under the off-plan sale and lease law, the contract sets out what was promised; the snag list records what you actually found.

Villa handovers bring checks that apartments do not: roof waterproofing and parapets, external stairs, boundary walls, water tanks and pumps. Photograph what you can reach and record what you could not, such as a locked roof or a sealed tank, as a limitation of the inspection.

What PropertySurvey Pro records

  • Project, building, floor and unit on every report
  • Repeatable snag templates across a whole phase
  • Numbered photo captions, with markup on Pro
  • Floor plans, with AR room scanning on LiDAR iPhones and iPads
  • A follow-up visit to check the developer's repairs

Landlords, property managers and real estate brokers

Move-in and move-out condition reports for Ejar leases

Use PropertySurvey Pro to record a rental property's condition at move-in and again at move-out in Saudi Arabia, so the landlord and the tenant compare like with like.

Leases in the Kingdom are registered on Ejar, the electronic platform through which the Real Estate General Authority regulates the rental sector and protects the rights of tenants, landlords and brokers. The contract lives on Ejar; the state of the kitchen, the AC units and the walls on the day the keys changed hands is what a dated condition report adds.

Walk each room in the same order at both visits. For furnished units, list the furniture and appliances; for villas, add the roof, garden, tanks and outside lighting. Talk through a room lets you speak as you go and then check the entries it drafts.

What PropertySurvey Pro records

  • Room-by-room condition and cleanliness at both visits
  • Appliance, furniture and AC unit lists
  • Meter readings and keys, as items in your template
  • Voice dictation and Talk through a room
  • A move-out visit started from the move-in report

Facilities managers, maintenance contractors and asset owners

Facilities and maintenance inspections in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam

Facilities teams can run planned maintenance inspections in PropertySurvey Pro, using one template across towers, compounds and villas so that each visit can be compared with the last.

In Riyadh, dust and sun wear roof coverings, sealants and external paint, and clog AC filters. In Jeddah and Dammam, humid air adds corrosion on railings and fixings and condensation around AC plant. Record the elevation, the equipment and whether it was running, so the next visit can tell a repeat defect from a new one.

The app works without signal in basements, car parks and plant rooms. If you were given a Saudi Building Code volume or a project specification to check against, name it in the report; the app organises the evidence and does not determine compliance.

What PropertySurvey Pro records

  • Planned inspection templates for each building type
  • Roof, façade, plant and car park observations with photos
  • Floor areas on GIA, NIA or IPMS bases
  • Follow-up visits to track repeat defects
  • Cloud sync across your own devices with Pro

Rules that shape the report

Laws, standards and regulators in Saudi Arabia

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Saudi Building Code (SBC)

The national building code, issued in separate volumes by discipline. Which volumes and edition apply depends on the building's use, the work and its permit. A report can name the volume it refers to; it does not decide compliance.

Real Estate General Authority (REGA)

Ejar

The integrated electronic platform that regulates the rental sector and registers, renews and ends residential and commercial leases. A condition report sits alongside the Ejar contract as evidence of the property's state.

Real Estate General Authority (REGA)

Off-plan sale and lease law and the Wafi platform

Off-plan sale and lease projects are licensed through Wafi under the law issued by Council of Ministers Resolution No. (196) dated 04/03/1445 AH. A handover snag list records what the buyer received.

On site in Saudi Arabia

What surveyors meet on site

  1. Dust and sand in Riyadh and inland cities

    Fine dust gets past window and door seals, settles in roof drains and loads AC filters. Record gaps at frames, blocked outlets and the state of filters, and note if a recent dust storm may explain what you see.

  2. Coastal humidity in Jeddah and Dammam

    Humid air condenses on cold ducts, chilled-water pipes and grilles, and corrodes exposed steel. Look for rust on balcony railings, AC brackets and fixings, and for mould in rooms kept closed.

  3. Flat roofs and heavy rain

    Rain is infrequent, so roof and balcony drainage may never have been tested when a home is handed over. Check falls, outlets and parapet upstands, and record any ponding marks or staining on ceilings below.

  4. Cracks from heat and movement

    Strong sun and large daily temperature swings stress render, plaster and junctions between materials. Record the width, length and location of each crack and leave the cause to a structural engineer where it matters.

  5. Repeated unit types on large projects

    Identical units across many buildings make it easy to put a defect against the wrong address. Confirm the unit number on site, photograph the door or plot marker, and note the phase and who gave access.

Survey app questions from Saudi Arabia

Is there a free property inspection app in Saudi Arabia?

Yes. PropertySurvey Pro is free to download and use for real inspections in Saudi Arabia. The free tier runs offline, exports watermarked PDF reports, stores up to 25 surveys on the device and includes 3 free uses a month of each AI tool. Pro is optional at £19.99 a month or £199.99 a year, and the App Store and Google Play show the price in your local currency.

Does PropertySurvey Pro check compliance with the Saudi Building Code?

No. It records what you see and lets you name the SBC volume or project specification in the report, but it does not decide whether a building complies. That depends on the building's use, the work and its permit. The app is not endorsed by any Saudi authority.

Can I use a condition report alongside an Ejar lease?

Yes. Ejar holds the registered lease; a PropertySurvey Pro report records the property's condition at move-in and move-out with photographs. The app does not connect to Ejar, so share the PDF as the landlord and tenant agree.

Does it work on remote sites with no signal?

Yes. Capture, photographs and the PDF all run on the phone or tablet with no connection, which suits new communities, basements and plant rooms. With Pro, cloud sync resumes when you reconnect.

What about damp and mould in Jeddah or Dammam?

PropertySurvey Pro records damp and mould as condition observations with photographs and locations. For a full moisture investigation with humidity, surface temperature and dew point readings, use DampApp Pro, our specialist damp and mould app, which also works in Saudi Arabia.

Can I put my firm's logo on the report?

Yes, with Pro, which adds white-label branding with your logo and colours. Free reports are complete and usable but carry the PropertySurvey Pro watermark.
