Everything we publish, in one place.
Guides, defect catalogues, the FAQ, the toolkit, the project list, and the journal: the parts of PropDefect that work even if you never book an inspection.
Read first
The PropDefect Toolkit
The full ~3,500-word room-by-room inspection guide. Free, no signup. Built for Singapore handovers.
Journal · field notes
Articles on Singapore defect inspection: Defect Liability Period (DLP) timelines, defect specifics, BTO collection day, regulatory framework.
By topic
What we check
The full inspection scope, system by system: tiling, plumbing, electrical, structural, finishing, bomb shelter, doors and windows, A/C.
Common defects
The defect categories we expect to find in new SG handovers: hollow tiles, drainage gradient failures, polarity issues, bomb shelter seal gaps.
Free vs paid inspection
An honest comparison of the developer walkthrough, HDB's BSC window, and an independent paid inspection. What each covers; what each misses.
Projects we serve
The property types we cover at handover: HDB BTOs, Executive Condominiums, and private condos across all districts.
Frequently asked questions
Singapore-specific questions about defect inspection, DLP timing, BSC submission, developer rectification, and submission-ready reporting.
BTO handover checklist
The complete pre- and post-handover checklist for HDB BTO buyers: what to bring, what to inspect, what to refuse, how to submit defects to HDB.
Missed the 30-day defect window
Why day 31 is not a cliff edge: what the 12-month DLP still covers, what changes when you report late, and why renovation (not the calendar) is the real risk.
Free defect checklist app
A free app that records each defect where you find it, keeping location, category, description and photo in one entry instead of scattered between a printed page and your camera roll.
DIY vs professional defect check
What a careful owner can genuinely check without help, what is harder to catch without tools, and the situations where hiring an inspector is not worth the money.
What this section is for
The Resources section is everything PropDefect publishes that does not require booking an inspection. The Toolkit covers the work itself, room by room. The journal goes deep on specific topics. The defect catalogue documents what we expect to find. The FAQ answers Singapore-specific buyer questions. The coverage page lists the property types and areas we cover.
If you are about to collect keys on a new home and you want to inspect it yourself rather than hire us, this is where you start. If you want to verify whether an inspection is worth booking, this is also where you start. Everything is free; nothing is paywalled.
