2. Description of Services

InspectHomeNow, leveraging the expertise of its parent company Ads Lab Technologies (a NABL-accredited laboratory for material testing since 2014), provides technology-enabled visual property inspection services across India. Services are limited to non-invasive, visual assessments for general overview and viability (e.g., purchase, lease, renovation). Key Services include:

  • Comprehensive Home Inspections: Visual checks for structural integrity (foundations, walls, roofs), electrical/plumbing systems, HVAC, safety features, and compliance indicators with National Building Code of India, 2016 (excluding exhaustive code verification).
  • Interior Design Consultations: Advice on space optimization, materials, and aesthetics, including virtual 3D models.
  • Re-inspections and Follow-up Reports: Verification of remedied defects with photographic/video evidence; free telephonic consultation up to 1 month post-report.
  • Dampness and Moisture Inspections: Thermal scanning and moisture metering for water ingress, mold risks (excluding air quality or mold lab testing).
  • Multi-Stage Inspection Processes: Phased audits for new builds, resales, or commercial spaces, including pre-purchase, mid-construction, and post-occupancy.
  • Accurate Area Measurements: Laser surveying for floor plans, carpet area, and RERA-compliant calculations.

Inspections exclude: geologic/soil analysis, indoor air quality/mold lab tests, heat exchanger/electrical circuitry diagnostics, plumbing pressure tests, underground utilities/easements, full structural engineering, water leakage simulations, land surveys, firefighting systems, material lab testing, pests/termites, radon, seismic risks, flood/noise hazards, insurability, or development potential. Services are not technically exhaustive; reports are factual visual aids "as is where is," not opinions on builder reputation or construction quality.

Services may include a 360-degree virtual tour link (valid 1 month) and email queries (up to 1 month). Reports are proprietary to InspectHomeNow; for your sole use in rectifications, not public sharing or unqualified reliance. Status reflects inspection date only.
