SINGAPORE – Having collected the keys to their Bukit Timah condominium in March, Mr Jonathan Lim and his wife looked for a defect inspector to check the fittings in their new home.
When the inspection eventually took place, Mr Lim said the inspector did not identify defects that he and his wife could not see for themselves. “Some of our marble tiles were cracked and the wardrobe doors did not close properly, but the inspector missed these defects.” “If we had gone with a proper firm from the start, the process would have been much smoother and we would have been able to move in earlier,” he said.from home owners of Build-To-Order flats, condominium units and landed houses increases, according to those in the industry.
In response to queries, a spokesman for the Building and Construction Authority said the agency does not regulate commercial defect inspection companies. “We have worked on projects where the interior designer or property agent claimed an inspection had been carried out. But because the home owners later realised that the inspection was not done properly, they proceeded to engage our services,” said Mr Ng.
A spokesman for the Consumers Association of Singapore said that the association has not received any complaints regarding defect inspection firms over the past year.
