FOR DEVELOPERS AND BUILDERS

Pre-Handover (Quality Verification) Report to Purchaser An independent assessment report for quality

verification of workmanship and compliances

prior to delivering vacant possession to the

purchaser. A “Blue Ribbon” certificate may be

issued for achieving high quality workmanship

standards.

For developers and builders who are quality

conscious with aims to deliver consistent quality

buildings.

FOR JOINT MANAGEMENT BODY (JMB) /

MANAGEMENT CORPORATION (MC)

OF STRATIFIED PROPERTIES:

Building Condition (Common Property) Inspection & Report An independent formal building condition status report

containing a photographic record of defects, health, safety

and security issues with advice on solutions to remedying

them cost-effectively. The report enables the committee to

establish a record of the existing building condition for

purposes of on- going maintenance management.

During the interim period before issuance of strata titles,

the JMB is responsible to manage the common property

under the Building and Common Property (Maintenance and

Management) Act 2007, which mandated the management

handover from the developer to the JMB.

However, JMB are not professional building managers - but is answerable to the property owners

and residents on the state of the building apart from the financial accounts.

Most JMBs do not know where to start, what to do and what are the critical items to resolve.

We help JMB establish the condition status and prioritise quickly what needs to be done

through the proper way and in a professional manner.

In the interest of the unit owners and residents, it is critical that the JMB commissions a complete

independent assessment of the building for responsible parties to rectify defects especially if it is still

within the Defects Liability Period.

• Helps resolve unreported and unresolved patent and latent defects found in Common Property/Areas

• Facilitates the setting up of a Sinking Fund Maintenance and Management Plan to anticipate costs,

expenses and accessibility issues

• Owners are more likely to pay their maintenance charges when the building is being upkeep satisfactorily • Minimises disputes amongst the Owners Residents and property manager on refurbishment/

renovation that are needed for building upgrade
