DO YOU KNOW?
The inspector whom you are getting to inspect your house may NOT KNOW how to inspect your expensive property!
Defects companies are NOT REGULATED by the Government. As a result, there are many students and laymen who are passing off as “inspectors” to offer inspection services to unsuspecting homeowners.
Some companies are displaying “certifications” that may not accurately represent their qualifications as home inspectors.

EXCELLENT Based on 321 reviews Posted on Eden KhooTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our ID forgot about our appointment last Saturday, and since Absolute Inspection was in the same building, we decided to drop by their defects talk out of curiosity. It turned out to be one of the most meaningful and eye opening 3 hours for us as homeowners. The boss, Wee Kwang, shared many practical tips on how to conduct our own basic checks, supported with plenty of real-life photos and demonstrations. He also gave us specific and honest advice on how to communicate and deal with the main contractor who built our condo. We were genuinely impressed by his sincerity and his willingness to share his knowledge openly. We eventually engaged Absolute Inspection to inspect our home today (and yes, they even work during CNY). The senior inspector who came was equally professional, meticulous, and highly knowledgeable. He patiently explained the issues he found and made sure we understood everything clearly. The peace of mind knowing that our home is in capable and trustworthy hands is truly worth every dollar. Highly recommended for all new homeowners. You don’t have to engage them immediately, attending their weekly defects talk first will already give you valuable knowledge and help you make a more informed decision.Posted on Mobi MobileTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We initially thought that all defects inspection companies in Singapore were equally competent, so we decided to go with a cheaper option. Unfortunately, the experience turned out to be very disappointing. The company sent three inspectors to our house, yet they still overlooked many obvious and serious defects that were visible even to our untrained eyes. In the end, we had no choice but to spend additional money to engage Absolute Inspection to re-inspect the entire house. Absolute Inspection only sent one inspector, Fabien. I was honestly skeptical at first, wondering how one person could succeed where three others had failed. However, Fabien quickly proved me wrong. He was extremely thorough and managed to identify numerous major and costly defects, including a cracked WC bowl, a pipe leak hidden in the false ceiling, and two faulty storage heaters. I truly believe that the repair costs he helped us secure from the developer far exceeded the inspection fee we paid Absolute Inspection. This experience taught me that not all defects inspectors are equally qualified. My advice to new homeowners is simple; don’t be penny wise, pound foolish. Investing in a competent and experienced inspector makes a huge difference.Posted on Alice HoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After speaking to a few inspection companies, we decided on Absolute Inspection because of Wee Kwang’s qualifications and experience. The difference in professionalism was obvious. The inspection was structured, thorough and clearly documented. We felt we were engaging a true building professional, not just someone doing a checklist. Highly recommended!Posted on Brinda ChengTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service by the team at Absolute, who were extremely helpful with my defects check. In particular, huge thank you to my guy - Ronald, who is detailed, knowledgeable and polite. He also helped to coordinate with the main contractor and workers on ground, giving specific instructions on what needs to be rectified. Thanks to him, my rectification process was smooth and worry-free! Highly recommend engaging their services. 10/10.Posted on B TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ronald and Cong Ming assisted me on my inspection. They were knowledgeable and efficient with the inspection. Money well spent definitely. ThanksPosted on Jing Han C.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Engaged Absolute Inspection to do our BTO defect checks and was assigned Ronald. We were originally assigned to start defect checks in the evening and Im glad that he contacted me earlier in the afternoon so that he will be able to optimise daylight time to do the checking! It was pleasant communicating with him as he is very responsive and responsible. Highly recommend him :)Posted on Michelle OngTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ronald from Absolute Inspection was very friendly and very professional - he was very detailed in explaining the main defects and also comprehensive in checking. We appreciate the service!Posted on yy zTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Like others have said, they spot mostly cosmetic defects and misalignments in fixtures, but the defects that actually impact functionality are missed. I discovered big gaps in the marble above the mirror while cleaning my unit, and they never even picked up on it because the ceiling is high in my unit and they didn't bother to check that thoroughly. The gaps were between the marble wall and the top of the toilet shelves. These gaps stretch across both toilet shelves, partially exposing the fixtures behind the wall, potentially posing a safety hazard (see photos for evidence). The built-in fridge components were also misaligned and they didn't spot it, I had to highlight it to them. The inspection was a gift from my property agents, so I didn't want to nitpick too much with them; instead I got the developer's contractors to fix it on another date (waste of time since if they had spotted it along with the other defects, it would be fixed at the same time) Can you imagine if the gaps were left there in the marble without being sealed? It would be a hotbed for insects to live in. TLDR: See attached photos for the large defects they missed. Their service is 2 stars at best. I would be more upset if I'd paid for it myself, but honestly, even though it's a gift from my agents, I expected more for the price (around $300+?). Leaving this review a year later when I've stopped being overly annoyed about their subpar service so you know the review is based on facts. Please don't claim I'm not in your system because the service wasn't bought under my name. I will not hesitate to upload more evidence if you make this claim, just not doing it because I don't want to make things awkward between you and my agents. Edit: The company replied that this price is their inspection fee for a 2-rm BTO, but based on their website, $300- $350 is also their price for a 1 – 600sqft private condo. So to say that the info doesn't tally is kind of pushing it. Also to cast doubt on whether your company really did the inspection is what I specifically warned you against. Besides having made the initial appointment with Wee Kwang, one of your supervisors who came down for the 2nd inspection is called Ronald, I still have his number, uploaded screenshot on the photos section as evidence with number blurred out for his privacy, just to prove it to you that we did indeed communicate. There is no need to understand my grievances better or make things right as I no longer trust your company and the Defects Liability Period is already long over.Posted on EPYDTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional. Highly recommended! Thanks, Ronald!Posted on Navin PillayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best service. We engaged them for our pre and post renovation checks. Our inspector both times was Ronald. He was very detailed-oriented and gave us very practical advice, and was very ready to give us tips anytime we needed it. His assurance really put us at ease that our renovation was done well. Thanks Ronald and Wee Kwang!!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Clients
Many positive reviews on Facebook and Google (over 1,000 since 2015). This is a testament to our consistent, high-quality service over the years.
In our many years of inspection, we have never come across a new property with 0 workmanship defect. This is because, despite advancement in construction technologies, there are still many works in a new house which need to be done manually. The quality thus depends on the skill and experience of the tradesmen executing the works. Under such circumstances, workmanship defects are inevitable.
Common defects which we find in new houses include:
On average, the cost of rectification works that we secure for our clients easily come up to thousands of dollars, far exceeding the cost of our inspection service.
If your house had not been inspected and you subsequently discover these problems on your own, you could be the one bearing the cost of these repairs instead.
Once you have fixed your key collection appointment, please contact us to schedule your 1st inspection.
Concurrently, please apply to turn on your utilities, particularly water and electricity, for the inspection. We will do our best to schedule the inspection on the same day as your utilities turn-on to save you one trip to your house.
If defects are reported after you have started renovation or moved in, the developer and their contractor may have reason to believe that some of these defects, especially the cosmetic ones, were inflicted by your people and refuse to rectify them.
To avoid such dispute, it is best to have your house combed through for patent defects (which exist in your house since day 1) prior to any work commencement.
As for latent defects (which take time to surface), developers and contractors will generally entertain these defects even after you have moved into the house.
Resale house buyers are coming to us because they do not know how to identify critical or hidden problems in the house during their house viewing. With viewings being increasingly conducted on virtual platforms nowadays, it is becoming even harder for buyers to gauge the actual house conditions before making their purchase decision.
As a property is a big-ticket item, it is prudent to inspect the property for potential deal-breakers before you commit to the purchase. If not, you run the risk of inheriting all the issues that come with the house after your purchase. Any repairs will then have to be done at your own cost, over and on top of your purchase price.
