Our PFI & Facade Inspection Services
Periodic Façade Inspection Singapore
PFI is a regulatory façade inspection regime in Singapore that helps responsible parties identify façade deterioration early and maintain public safety. SGFacadeScan supports the inspection process from initial notice review to inspection planning, defect documentation and final reporting support.
BCA PFI Compliance Support
We help clients understand the BCA PFI notice, prepare relevant building information, appoint and coordinate the required professional roles, and organise the inspection process in a structured manner.

Rope Access Inspection Singapore
Rope access inspection may be used for close-range façade inspection where direct access is required and where the method is suitable for the building configuration, safety requirements and site constraints.

SGFacadeScan assists with the identification and assessment of common façade defects such as cracks, spalling concrete, loose finishes, failed sealants, corrosion, water seepage, cladding defects and loose façade elements.

Where defects are observed, we help clients organise the findings and provide professional recommendations so that responsible parties can plan appropriate follow-up actions.
