Abu Dhabi Housing Authority Partners with ‘Saeed’ to Advance Government Housing Inspection Campaigns

This partnership, formalised through an agreement of collaboration, will see Saeed’s specialised inspection teams supporting Abu Dhabi Housing Authority and Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport in executing field survey campaigns and special housing inspections. The initiative aims to improve government housing systems across Abu Dhabi, ensuring adherence to the established policies and standards, while guaranteeing successful execution of housing inspection campaigns.

Majed Abdulla Almehairi, Acting Executive Director of Housing Benefit Allocation Sector, Abu Dhabi Housing Authority, said, "The latest agreement forms part of the Authority's efforts to further strengthen its partnership with the private sector in order to realise its vision and goals, which include enabling a sustainable housing system that improves quality of life. By taking advantage of smart inspection solutions, we hope to improve the effectiveness of inspection campaigns aimed at lowering the occupancy of government housing that does not follow the standard regulations.”

Hassan Abdullah Al Dhahiri, Executive Director of Operations at Saeed Company, said: “The agreement with ADHA is particularly timely for us as we recently expanded the scope of our business to offer innovative and intelligent AI-based services and solutions in the areas of traffic control and inspection. Owing to their judicial discipline, ADHA cadres are equipped to enforce laws and regulations, look into violations, and gather the data and proof required to uphold the rule of law. This will greatly aid in upholding our position in the community, forming unions for government housing and real estate workers, improving living standards, and raising community awareness of the regulations regarding government housing.”

The regulations governing the use of government housing units strictly prohibits utilisation of grants or loans for purposes other than home ownership. The properties can’t be rented, sold, donated, or disposed of in any other legal manner than in accordance with the Authority's conditions and regulations. Additionally, it states that the beneficiary must occupy the allotted housing within six months of the approval date and must remain there indefinitely unless an unavoidable emergency prevents them from doing so.
