Building Inspection Singapore

Building Inspection Service refers to the systematic examination of a building's structural integrity and overall condition. Performed by qualified structural engineers, these inspections are mandatory for most buildings in Singapore, with the exception of certain residential houses and temporary structures. The primary purpose is to detect potential structural defects very early, ensuring safety and continued usability.

The service is for owners of commercial and residential buildings, with inspections required every 5 years for non-residential structures and every 10 years for buildings used predominantly for residential purposes. This helps maintain the buildings' structural soundness, particularly non residential buildings, as wear and tear set in with aging.
