We check the work and the bill
On every visit: measured, photographed and tested, before anything is covered up.
How it works
We check, you see, you decide.
Three things happen every week of your build. Here's each one, then the five steps from your first call to handover, and the dashboard where it all lands.
Every week
Three things happen every week.
Tap a scene to play it again. Your money and your instructions go straight to your contractor. Vakeel is copied, never in between.
2
The facts land on your phone
What to pay, what to hold and what to decide, with the photos and tests behind it.
3
You decide and pay, directly
Your yes and your money go straight to your contractor. Vakeel is copied, never in between.
What Vakeel never does: hold or move your money instruct your contractor on our own account recommend anyone take a fee from anyone but you
Start to finish
From your first call to handover, in five steps.
You can start at any step. Most owners start free, with their quotes side by side.
1
Start free
Put your quotes side by side, or tell us where your project is today.
2
Choose your visits
1, 2 or 3 a week, for a fixed monthly fee set when you sign.
3
We inspect
Every visit checked, measured and photographed. Before anything is covered, we look.
4
You pay with confidence
Every bill gets our position: pay this, hold that, and why.
5
Handover, with the record
Every check, photo and test kept, for your defects claims and for a buyer.
On every bill
What the contractor claims. What we verified. What you paid.
Three numbers on one line, updated after every visit. As long as what you've paid stays below what we've verified, you're never ahead of the work.
62%Claimed

40%Paid by you
Paid is below verified. You're not ahead of the work.
On the latest bill for the sample villa: pay AED 656,500, hold AED 123,500 until Tuesday's pipe test. You pay your contractor yourself.
