How To Arrange for a Joint BSC Inspection

Your BTO home, as well as all public housing in Singapore, is an initiative of the Housing & Development Board under which the Building Service Centre (BSC) operates to administer and handle construction-related issues. If you have sent a rectification request (either online or to the nearest BSC office) regarding any defects on your BTO flat, a joint BSC inspection follows as a response to that rectification request.

It is important to activate your utilities first before your joint BSC inspection appointment schedule, otherwise you won’t be able to fully test everything in your HDB flat. These are the easy-to-follow steps to turn on utilities for your new home.

Now, to book a joint BSC inspection for your HDB flat and get all the defects you have reported addressed to your satisfaction, head on over to the Building Service Centre portal to arrange for an appointment date and time.

It also helps to be prepared for any eventualities during the defects inspection. Here’s a checklist of items that might come handy during the joint BSC inspection.

Note-taking tools such as pen and paper

Camera

Portable fans

Cleaning tools for removing construction debris

Flashlights for inspecting dark areas

Ladder or sturdy stool for reaching inaccessible areas

Spirit level for checking unevenly leveled ground

Any tool for tapping to check for hollow tiles

Electrical test pen for power socket testing

Sticky notes or masking tapes to mark out defective parts and areas
