Engineering-led, from the other side of the handover.

The team behind PropDefect

PropDefect is led by a senior team of (Elected) Senior Members of the Institution of Engineers Singapore, accredited Expert Witnesses (Asia Pacific Institute of Experts) and Certified Project Managers, including a former Building & Construction Authority (BCA) professional — Civil & Structural engineers with 25+ years of construction site supervision and management across more than S$2 billion in project value, on the developer, consultancy and contractor sides of Singapore construction.

Why PropDefect exists

On collection day, the developer walks in with a site engineer, a main contractor, and paperwork built to get your unit signed off. You walk in with your keys and your phone. The defects that cost you later — hollow tiles, hairline cracks, waterproofing laid wrong, a window that never quite seals — are exactly the ones an untrained eye walks straight past.

You get one window to make those the developer’s problem, not yours. The Defect Liability Period is the only stretch when every fault is theirs to rectify, at their cost. Miss it — or fail to document a defect properly — and the same repair lands on your renovation budget a year later, at full price. Most owners miss it: not through carelessness, but because no one ever handed them the checklist the professionals use.

PropDefect puts that checklist, and the eye behind it, on your side — so you take handover of a unit that is actually built right, with every defect found, documented and filed while the developer still has to fix it free. Want it done properly? Book a CONQUAS-driven inspection. Rather start yourself? Our free checklist app and published method walk you through the visual checks, room by room — the defects a careful eye can catch. The ones that need calibrated tools and an independent report are what we’re for. Most firms keep their checklist secret; we publish ours, because the standard was never the secret — the discipline of applying it is.
