About DefectsGuru — Singapore Defect Inspectors

We exist for one reason: to find the defects your developer, contractor or seller would rather you didn't — while it's still their job to fix them. Over 1,000 Singapore homes inspected, every check benchmarked to BCA standards.

01 / Our mission

Paid to disagree with a perfect-looking home

A new home looks flawless on handover day. It almost never is. The average Singapore handover hides around 47 genuine defects — and most owners spot fewer than five before their warranty window closes. We were built to close that gap: an independent inspection that works only for the homeowner, documents every defect to a standard a developer can’t wave away, and does it before the clock runs out.

DefectsGuru operates in collaboration with SG GDW Supplies Pte Ltd, serving homeowners across Singapore — BTO, condo, EC and landed.

02 / Meet the team

The inspectors behind your report

Real, named inspectors — not a faceless call centre. Every check is benchmarked to BCA standards, and between them the team has inspected 1,000+ Singapore homes across BTO, condo and landed.

Khalid

Lead Defect Inspector

Benchmarks every inspection to BCA CONQUAS quality standards

Khalid leads inspections across BTO, condo and landed handovers — and is the name homeowners most often thank in our Google reviews. He works only for the homeowner, documenting every defect to a standard a developer can’t wave away.

Heilman

Senior Defect Inspector

Finishes, waterproofing and M&E specialist

Heilman runs multi-trip inspections end to end — from the first report, through the joint inspection with HDB or the developer, to verifying every rectification was done properly before sign-off.

03 / How we work

What sets our inspections apart

Benchmarked to BCA standards

Every unit is assessed against BCA CONQUAS quality benchmarks and the BCA Guide to Good Practices, so each finding is a recognised defect — not a matter of opinion.

Report before we leave

We log, photograph and grade every defect on-site, so a same-day digital report is in your hands before we leave your home.

Transparent at every step

You see each defect logged, located on a floor plan and severity-graded — nothing hidden, nothing padded.

1,000+ homes inspected

Our guidance is drawn from defects we find on real handovers across Singapore, not from a textbook.
