How We Inspect Your Home

The average Singapore handover hides around 47 defects — most owners spot fewer than five. Here's exactly how we find them, the trained eye behind it, and the report you walk away with.

01 / Findings

The average handover hides defects.

Most look invisible on a walkthrough — hollow tiles that sound fine underfoot, hairline leaks behind fresh paint, sockets wired just well enough to pass a glance. Our inspectors have pattern-trained eyes from 1,000+ Singapore homes; they know exactly where each one hides.

Unassisted, most owners catch fewer than five.

BCA guidance

Each finding is graded against BCA CONQUAS quality standards and the BCA Guide to Good Practices for handover — so it’s documented as a genuine defect, not waved off as “acceptable workmanship.”
