Damp & mould compliance software in Qatar.
In Qatar, construction work follows the Qatar Construction Specifications, which set the requirements for waterproofing below ground and in wet areas. As across the Gulf, condensation from air conditioning and water getting through roofs, terraces and facades are the usual causes of damp and mould.
The applicable regime
The Qatar Construction Specifications (QCS 2024, which replaced QCS 2014), with leasing governed by Qatar's property leasing law.
Three local evidence priorities
1.Record the cooling and humidity context
Note the air-conditioning system, condensate drainage you can see, and room temperature and humidity, so condensation can be told apart from water getting in.
2.Map wet areas and the envelope
Record bathrooms, kitchens, roofs, terraces and below-ground rooms near the damage, with photos and readings that show its extent.
3.Link the works to the evidence
Keep the inspection, the waterproofing or plumbing works and the follow-up visit on one property record, so the result can be checked against what was first found.
Which edition of the specification did the building use?
QCS 2024 cancelled and replaced QCS 2014. Record which edition the project specification named before comparing a defect with it, and keep the observation separate from any judgement about the original works.

Cases run on your own due dates; the record is evidence for your engineers and contractors, not a specification compliance decision.
Does HousingSurvey Pro work for providers in Qatar?
