02 · The New Datacheck

A single source
of truth.

Information originates with the manufacturer and integrates all data in digital format — catalogues, technical sheets, photos, videos, drawings, BIM objects.

Interoperable: the same data flows from design to site, from contractor to owner, with no loss, no rewriting.

A permanent record of the materials used across the entire chain.

04 · The new site requirement

What is a
MEAR?

Materials & Equipment Approval Report. Official technical document for submission, review and approval of the materials and equipment to be used on site.

It ensures that the materials proposed by the contractor strictly meet the project and tender specification requirements.

Already mandatory on public works (PT)

With Datacheck, data coming from manufacturers cannot be tampered with.
