How do inspection reports work?
From the «Inspection reports» tab inside your project, in five steps.
Request a quote
The owner, consultant or a contractor requests an inspection of the project or a milestone, picks the scope, enters the site contact and attaches the drawings.
Quote and payment
You get a VAT-inclusive price after Ataam reviews the request; after your transfer Ataam confirms the payment and issues a tax invoice to your company.
An independent inspector visits
Ataam assigns a partner inspection company or an inspector, who visits the site, fills the checklists and records findings with photos stamped with time and position.
Review and issue the report
The Ataam team reviews the draft (quality assurance), then issues the report, attaches it to the project and milestone and notifies every party.
Close the findings
Findings are assigned to the contractor with due dates by severity; the contractor uploads fix photos, the owner or consultant verifies and closes them, with a re-inspection when needed.
What is inspected?
Choose one or more scopes, or a full handover.

Columns, beams, slabs, concrete, walls and stairs, with measurements of cracks and deviations.

A bilingual PDF report
In Arabic and English, with the inspection company's name next to Ataam's identity and a QR code that opens the verification page.
Milestone approval rule (optional)
The project owner can require a report without open critical findings before any milestone is approved.
Who is it for?
Owners and developers
Take over your building with an independent report instead of relying on the executing party alone.
Consultants
Back your milestone approvals with a verified independent inspection.
Contractors
Find the findings before the final handover and close them with evidence in front of the owner.
Ataam is the intermediary; the report is the inspector's opinion
The inspection is carried out by an independent party (a partner company or an Ataam inspector); Ataam connects the parties with it and only follows the quality of the report. The report reflects the inspector's opinion at the time of the visit and is not a guarantee, a structural certificate or an engineering approval of the building, and it does not replace the licensed engineering office or official requirements.
