Why pay S$200–600 for something you can do in one evening?

Many owners already DIY their check. What they lack is a complete checklist and a report that doesn't look like a WhatsApp dump. KeyDay fills that gap.

How it works

Step 1 · key collection day

Walk each room with the checklist

Tiles, walls, doors, windows, sockets, taps, drainage. Each item says what to test and how, e.g. tap tiles for a hollow sound, pour water to check the floor trap.

Step 2 · as you go

Photo, tape, log

Snap each defect and mark it with tape. KeyDay numbers it to match your tape label and records the room and wall.

Step 3 · within a month

Submit, then re-check

Export the report for your BSC. After rectification, tick off each fix or flag it again, with reminders before your DLP ends.

One kit, two checks

Most owners need a careful check twice: when they collect the keys, and again when the renovation is handed over. The early-bird price covers both.

Check 1 · BTO key collection

Before you renovate

  • Tiles, walls, doors, windows, sockets, drainage, household shelter
  • Report goes to your Building Service Centre
  • Counts down the 1-month reporting window and 1-year DLP
Check 2 · Renovation handover

Before you pay the final instalment

  • Carpentry, countertops, sink leaks, electrical points, lights, paint, flooring, shower screens
  • Report goes to your ID or contractor
  • Tells you to hold the final payment until every item is fixed, then tracks the warranty

Works for BTO, resale and condo renovations.

What your report looks like

One line per defect, with a photo reference, exact location and status. Easy for the BSC supervisor to follow during the joint inspection.

Questions

Is it hard to do a defect check myself?

Not if you're systematic. A 4-room flat usually takes two to three hours. The checklist tells you what to test in each room, so you don't miss the usual suspects.

What tools do I need?

Your phone, painter's tape, a marker, a phone charger to test sockets, and a bottle of water to test drainage. A tile-tapping stick helps; some BSCs lend them.

Does it replace a professional?

For visible and easy-to-test defects, most owners do fine on their own. For hidden issues like concealed leaks or wiring faults, a pro with specialist tools can still be worth it. KeyDay tells you when to consider one.

Does it work for condos and resale flats?

The renovation handover check works for any home: BTO, resale or condo. The key collection check is built for new HDB BTO flats.

Why check a renovation myself? My ID will do a walk-through.

They will, but it's their own work. A numbered list with photos makes it clear what still needs fixing before you pay the last instalment, which is usually around 10% of the contract.

When does it launch?

Soon. Early-bird members get the S$19 price and first access.
