What Is Civil Inspection?
A Professional Check of Structural Safety, Not Just Finishes
Civil inspection examines a building’s foundations, concrete works, and general workmanship to identify defects, risk, or non-compliance — confirming the structure is safe, strong, and fit to use.
The Standard We Inspect Against
Under Dubai’s Building Quality and Safety Law, structural integrity is one of the systems building owners must have routinely inspected. We test concrete strength directly using a rebound hammer, and verify structural elements against approved drawings and Dubai Municipality building codes — not just a visual check.
