    HDB

    Defect Check List



    Things to prepare
    1) Masking / black tape
    a) Tapes and Markers are essential to mark out the defective areas.
    b) preferred masking tapes since they are easy to remove without leaving sticky residue and
    permanent markers to write on these making tapes.
    c) Recommended to get them in at least 2 colors; Red for the major defects and Yellow for the
    minor ones, so that the HDB technician will know what areas to focus on rectifying first.
    d) Strongly advise numbering and scribbling notes on the description of the defects so that
    miscommunication can be minimized.
    2) Three-pin electrical plug with a light check electrical sockets
    3) Spirit Level
    a) Use spirit level to check if the walls, doors, windows are slated way too much so to determine as
    to see if there are any structural deviations with the room and wall measurements and that the
    doors and windows are properly aligned and upright.
    4) Screw driver switch on water supply
    5) Bucket test drainage
    6) Torchlight check drainage holes and toilet ceiling
    7) Stool or ladders for inspecting those high out of reach places
    8) Number lock to lock up the house
    9) Coins or Marbles (Marbles check for hollow tiles)
    Preferred marbles since they give off a distinct hollow sound when knocked against hallow tiles or
    timber strips.
    10) Cameras
    a) Consider using DSLR to take extreme closeups of the defects.
    11) Parents or Helpful Friends
    a) Ask them along to help to check out the defect. You will be surprised that it will take at least 2
    days to check everything.
    b) bring friends who have an excellent eye for details
