Georgios Papangelou (Γεώργιος Παπαγγέλου) is the founder and lead inspector of ARQUS Check, an independent property inspection service based in Thessaloniki, Greece. He is a partner at the architecture practice icon architecture and has around 35 years of international experience in Greece, the USA and Germany, designing and renovating homes, luxury hotels and commercial spaces. He is an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector and an EASA-certified drone operator.
Background
His experience comes from architectural practice: designing new buildings and renovating existing ones in Greece, the USA and Germany, across homes, luxury hotels and commercial spaces.
Today he is a partner at icon architecture in Thessaloniki. Through ARQUS Check he brings that experience to property buyers, in the form of an independent, documented picture of a property's real condition before they commit.
Two perspectives in one inspection
When he inspects a property, he knows what to look for, because he may be asked to solve the same problem on a design project tomorrow. A crack, damp at the base of a wall or a flat roof without proper falls are not just findings to him; they are pieces of work he knows how to carry out and what they cost.
That experience shows in the report, in how problems are prioritised and how repair costs are estimated. It matters most in hotels, where knowing how a property is designed and operated makes the difference. See our hotel inspection.
