Able to fully close without any gaps. 4) wardrobes & cabinets - any gaps when casement doors are fully closed. Doors are properly aligned and not slanted. physical defects. 5) aircon - Turn all units on for 15-30mins when electricity is ava.. See if it is cold or not. 6) doors - able to close properly, any physical defects. 7) sanitary wares & fittings - physical defects Most importantly are the physical defects.. Pls advise if there's any things we should look out for and check too...thanks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats, Boon Keng's a great place As for the wall tiles... try using tapping the tiles with the short wooden pole from a broomstick The sound is very obvious if the tile isn't properly cemented on the wall. For tiles on the floor, just stepping with your feet will be sufficient I guess... All the best for your reno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My toilet was terrible, after wetting the toilet floor, water ponds at one area. Common n master toilet got the same problem. Since yrs is DBSS, the quality should be better then HDB BTO? My BTO **** jialat, quality really F up. Wonder how they pass the inspection before handling over. REported a A4 paper full page of defects. :curse: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
