Detailed Defect ReportsWHY IT MATTERS
Receiving your keys is one of the most exciting milestones in any Singaporean’s journey. But beneath that fresh paint and pristine finishes, defects are hiding in walls, tiles, ceilings, sanitary fittings, and waterproofing layers that most homeowners never find until they’ve already moved in.
Under your developer’s Defects Liability Period (DLP), they are responsible for rectifying structural defects, material defects, and workmanship faults for one year from the date of your key collection. Miss this window, and those same repairs come entirely out of your own pocket.
Prime Defectors’ condo inspection service gives you a systematic, documented record of every issue, so you can confidently submit your defects through your developer’s defect portal and hold them accountable before the clock runs out.

BE PREPARED
Key collection is a legal handover, not just an exciting milestone. What you do and don’t do on the day can directly affect your ability to claim defect rectification later.
Walk every room while the handover team is still on site. Note any obviously missing fittings, visible damage, or incomplete works on the spot, get it acknowledged in writing before you leave.
Take date-stamped photos of all walls, floors, ceilings, and fixtures immediately. This baseline protects you if disputes arise later.
Run every tap, flush every toilet, test every power socket and light switch before leaving. Problems found early are easier to rectify.
Schedule your professional inspection before any contractor enters the property. Renovation work can obscure defects and complicate future claims.
Verify your Singpass login and portal access before inspection day so you can submit any findings immediately.
The sooner you inspect, the more time available for defects to be rectified within the official defect liability period.
STEP-BY-STEP
Once your inspection report is ready, here’s exactly how to act on it when you have a well-documented report in hand.
Within 48 hours of your inspection, you'll receive a comprehensive PDF report with photographs, defect descriptions, severity ratings, and a room-by-room breakdown.
Access the portal using your login credentials. Navigate to your unit's details and locate the defect submission section.
Most portals group defects by room and trade type. Upload your report photos and tag each defect entry accordingly.
Developers typically respond within 7–14 working days to acknowledge receipt and schedule rectification works.
After rectification, inspect each repair carefully. If works are unsatisfactory, resubmit through the portal with updated evidence.
The 1-year Defects Liability Period begins on your key collection date, not when you move in or start renovation. Many homeowners discover defects only once renovation begins, by which point the window may already be closing. Book your inspection within the first 2–4 weeks of key collection for maximum protection.

Ideally, book your inspection within the first few days of collecting your keys and before any renovation works begin. The earlier you inspect, the more time you have to submit defects and give your contractor adequate time to rectify them within the one-year DLP.
A typical 3–4 bedroom condo unit takes approximately 2–3 hours, depending on size and the number of defects found.
It’s not compulsory, but we recommend being present or having a representative there. We can also inspect on your behalf and walk you through the report afterward.
Yes, but most homeowners without trade experience miss 60–80% of defects, especially waterproofing and structural issues not visible to the untrained eye.
If defects remain unresolved within the DLP, you may escalate via the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) or seek legal advice. Our documented reports serve as strong evidence in such disputes.
