The Market Opportunity
Three regulatory forces driving
inspection demand
Structural changes in Portugal's real estate regulatory framework are creating lasting, growing demand for certified inspection services across all market segments.
Simplex 2024
Construction regulation reform simplified building permits, but owners must now validate compliance before selling or letting. Demand for pre-transaction inspections is growing across all price segments.
The Brown Discount
The revised EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive makes the SCE energy rating a direct factor in sale price. Every owner with a brown rating needs an energy audit and renovation roadmap before selling at full value.
Gas Inspection Gap
APEG was dissolved in December 2025, creating a certification void for mandatory gas inspections, while the legal obligation under DL 97/2017 remains fully in force. This is the most urgent supply gap in the market.
⚡ Priority Alert, Gas Technicians
APEG (Associação Portuguesa de Empresas de Gás) was dissolved on 31 December 2025. Gas technicians previously registered through APEG now operate in a certification void, however, mandatory gas inspections under DL 97/2017 remain in force. InspectOS is fast-tracking DGEG-registered gas technicians.

What Inspectors Say
Built for active professionals
InspectOS complements your existing practice, it doesn't replace it. No exclusivity. No interference with your independent client portfolio.
“I was worried about being tied to a single brand, but InspectOS has been purely additive. I continue to work independently, this simply adds a steady stream of jobs I didn't have to source.”
“The foreign buyer jobs are on another level. They want detailed bilingual reports and are willing to pay accordingly. InspectOS clients understand the value of what we do.”
“Onboarding was very fast. I submitted my credentials on a Tuesday and had my first job assigned by Friday. Payment was in my account within a week of delivering the report.”
