1) DEFECTS INSPECTION FOR NEW, RESALE, RENTAL & RENOVATED PROPERTIES
Absolute Inspection can conduct comprehensive assessments on your property, including:
- Newly TOP projects,
- Resale properties (Pre-purchase inspections),
- Rental properties (Pre-tenancy and Post-tenancy inspections),
- Renovated properties (Post-renovation inspections).
We will identify defects and unacceptable workmanship finishes within three specific fields – architecture, mechanical (plumbing) and electrical systems. Our findings, which are based on the quality standards adopted by BCA and the industry, will be documented and used to initiate the rectification process by the builder. Once rectification is done, our inspector will inspect your property to ensure all rectification works are done satisfactorily and according to the prevailing quality standards.
So Why Home Inspection?
REDUCE FUTURE REPAIR COSTS
Some defects surfaced only after years and by then, you have to fork out your own cash to pay for repairs which may be costly. With years of experiences and professional tools, our qualified inspectors can detect potential issues for your developers to rectify before your Defects Liability Period expires. Take action now and save yourself from repairing detectable defects in the future.
OWNER'S PEACE OF MIND
Our qualified inspectors go beyond visual architectural inspection. They assess functionality of M&E fittings and fixtures, electrical points etc. Leave your home inspection to the expert and you can have a good night’s sleep knowing that your new property will be in good condition in years to come!
100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE
After going through the 1st round of defects inspection and marking out the defects found, our inspectors will document the defects for onward submission to the developer. Our service doesn’t stop there. Our inspectors will run through the list of defects with the developer in the 2nd appointment, and conduct a 3rd inspection after developer has finished the rectification works to verify that the defects have been rectified to the owner’s and our inspector’s satisfaction.
2) DISPUTE RESOLUTION ON CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION WORKMANSHIP
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is a professional body promoting and enforcing the highest international standards in the valuation, management and development of land, real estate, construction and infrastructure.
Absolute Inspection is qualified to provide the following consultancy services:
Phase 1: Pre-Purchase Appraisal – Impartial site assessment and validation of existing interior conditions to help you gauge the magnitude of renovation / rectification works required. The last thing you want is to be ill-prepared for the cost and time involved to move into your new space, caused by unknown defects or the approval required for certain works. We flag out early the various factors which will deter your objectives in getting the space.
Phase 2: Validation of other IDs’ Quotations and Proposals – Not sure if your appointed contractors or designers are giving you the best deal / advice? We can evaluate the quotations and proposals you received from others and provide you a neutral second opinion. We strongly believe a home is only complete when it is designed and constructed to be functional and appropriate for your lifestyle.
Phase 3: Independent Review and Expert Witness Services – Should you have disputes with or do not agree with the quality of work completed by your appointed designer, we are able to act as neutral party to provide an independent assessment on the reasonable-ness and quality of works done.

3) BCA PERIODIC INSPECTION OF BUILDINGS
All buildings in Singapore, except for detached, semi-detached, terraced or linked houses which are used for residential purposes and temporary buildings, need to be inspected regularly by structural engineers in accordance to Section 28 of the Building Control Act.
Such inspections ensure that structural defects due to lack of maintenance can be detected and rectified early to keep buildings structurally sound for continued occupation. Through such inspections, appropriate measures can be taken to prevent further deterioration.
Besides inspecting your building for structural defects, our Professional Engineers will be able to assist with the purchase of your building’s structural layout plans from BCA.
