Demystifying Property Inspections: How PropChk and Saurabh Tyagi Are Making Homes Safe, Transparent, and Tech-Smart

New Delhi [India], August 19: Some companies make noise about technology. Others quietly transform the very experience of home ownership. For Saurabh Tyagi, Co-Founder and CEO of PropChk, the mission began with a simple but powerful conviction: Indian property buyers and developers deserve more than pen-and-paper promises—they deserve unbiased, clear, and actionable insights into the homes they’re building and living in.

From Clipboards to Cloud

“In the old days, inspections were all about checklists, tick marks, and signatures,” Tyagi remembers. “You’d have engineers jotting down 'yes' or 'no' on paper, passing it around for approval from supervisor to inspector.” While thorough, the system was limited by human error—and often, human bias. PropChk’s breakthrough? Bringing inspections into the digital era. “We replaced dependency on experience or skill with technology. Every inspection is time-stamped, recorded, and impossible to manipulate. No matter who’s 

conducting it, you get the same level of scrutiny and accountability.”

Explaining the Unseen—To Experts and Everyday Buyers

For Tyagi’s team, the challenge wasn’t just digitizing a process—it was translating technical findings for a diverse clientele. “Developers are familiar with snag lists and tech talk. Individual buyers, though, aren’t. They just want to be sure their dream home isn’t hiding problems.” That’s where PropChk’s tech shines. One favorite tool: thermal imaging, which reveals hidden leaks behind freshly painted walls. “Dampness doesn’t show up overnight, but our scans catch it early—often before the builder or owner realizes.”

Reports are designed for laypeople: direct, jargon-free, packed with photos that make each issue (from badly sloped bathroom tiles to missing window sealants) clear and real. “We pour water, click a photo, and point—the client sees exactly what’s wrong and what it means.”

Local Issues, Universal Standards

Is Mumbai different from Hyderabad, when it comes to defects? Tyagi says the issues are often the same. “Monsoons mean leaks, wherever you go. But yes, in Mumbai, it might be more frequent.” PropChk doesn’t just point out what's wrong—they explain why: whether dampness comes from missing sealant, a crack, or poor construction. “It’s always about using photos and simple language to teach, never to overwhelm.”

Independence Means Trust

“In property, trust is everything,” Tyagi insists. Unlike project managers, whose KPIs hinge on cost and deadlines, PropChk’s sole metric is quality. “We’re neutral. We don’t care if pointing out a defect delays a handover or increases a builder’s costs. That’s how you build real credibility.”

Support That Doesn’t End With the Report

Every PropChk client—especially B2C homeowners—gets a free 30-day consultation window. “Our reports are easy to understand, but if something’s unclear or if clients need backup arguing with developers, they call us. We walk them through every room, every photograph, every recommendation. We’re always in their corner.”

Details—But Never Overload

“B2B clients get the technical breakdown,” he explains, “quoting the exact building code a defect flouts. For homeowners, it’s clear, labeled, and photo-supported: ‘bedroom wall, crack here, here’s the picture.’ We zoom in so nothing’s left ambiguous or intimidating.”

When Accuracy Is Questioned—Rising to the Challenge

Skeptical clients sometimes ask: “Did you check every wall? Did you miss a spot?” Tyagi welcomes scrutiny. “We share full sets of thermal images for every surface, so nothing is hidden. Our ‘digital twin’ 3D report shows exactly where and when defects were found—or not found.” If a new crack appears later, they can prove if it was present during their inspection, thanks to that digital record. “It’s all about evidence, transparency, and customer confidence.”

Building a Culture of Trust—Not Just a Tech Provider

Tyagi’s philosophy is clear: “Our job is not just about pointing out problems—it’s about making sure every client feels safe, empowered, and supported. Builders respect us because we don’t bend to deadlines or budgets at the expense of quality. Homeowners trust us because we tell them what’s there—plainly, honestly, and with proof.”

If Saurabh Tyagi had to sum up PropChk’s ambition in one line, it might well be:

“From paperwork to proof—one home at a time, trust built in every inspection.”

For anyone hoping to make their mark in property tech, his advice is simple:
“Don’t chase tech for its own sake. Chase clarity, chase empathy, chase real solutions. That’s how you build trust—and that’s how you build a business that lasts.”
