We select a small number of anonymised projects to illustrate how MurImmo works on site and in ongoing property care. Names, exact locations and recognisable details are deliberately omitted to protect the privacy of owners and tenants.
The examples cover construction supervision, long‑term property management and rental/security checks. Each case focuses on the initial situation, the key issues we found, what we required from contractors, and the documented outcome for the client.
The photos shown are taken on real Mauritian projects under our supervision, but may be combined or slightly adapted to avoid any clear identification of people or properties.

- Requested water test on the roof and documented ponding and leaks.
- Prepared a punch list with photos and clear technical requirements for remedial works.
- Demanded installation of appropriate RCD protection and proper labelling of circuits.
Outcome:
- Roof waterproofing was reworked and re‑tested before acceptance.
- Vulnerable metal parts were protected against corrosion.

Actions taken:
- Measured humidity values during several visits and documented them in the reports.
- Recommended and coordinated installation of a small ventilation unit and dehumidifier.
- Organised professional cleaning and treatment of affected wall surfaces.
Outcome:
- Mould was removed before it spread to furniture and textiles.
- Humidity levels stabilised after technical improvements.
- Owner now receives regular photos of critical areas and climate readings in each report.
Why Rental and Security Checks Matter
When a property is rented out or used by guests without the owner on site, small problems can quickly become expensive damage. MurImmo combines rental checks with security and condition inspections so that misuse, unauthorised changes or safety issues are detected early.
The examples below show how systematic inspections protect both the building and the relationship with tenants. All cases are anonymised and do not show faces or recognisable details.

Outcome:
- Tenant behaviour was corrected without escalation.
- Garden recovered after basic reinstatement.
- Owner received a factual report including before/after documentation.
Structured, Evidence‑Based Reporting
Each MurImmo report follows a clear structure so that you can quickly see what has been checked and where action is required:
For larger projects we add timelines, responsibilities and follow‑up status so that all parties know exactly what has been agreed and what remains open.
- Header with project, date, weather and participants.
- Checklist of inspected elements with OK / not OK marking.
- Photo documentation with captions and clear references to locations.
- Summary of critical points and recommended decisions.
For larger projects we add timelines, responsibilities and follow‑up status so that all parties know exactly what has been agreed and what remains open.
If you would like to speak with an existing client, we will check who is available and obtain their permission before sharing contact details. This keeps privacy protected while giving you a direct, honest view of how we work.
The next step is simple: send us a short description of your project and your questions. We will respond with a proposed time for a video call and, where possible, indicate suitable reference projects that match your situation.
