BCA PIB ready

Periodic Façade Inspection survey aligned to BCA requirements.

Rope-access close-up survey

Hands-on inspection of every elevation, not metres away behind mesh.

Photographic condition report

Located, graded defects documented for your records and filing.

Under Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA), façades of applicable buildings must be inspected periodically to keep the public safe from falling masonry and façade defects. Rope access is the gold-standard way to survey a façade, it gets an inspector’s hands and eyes right onto the wall, not metres away behind scaffold mesh.

What a façade inspection covers

Spalling concrete & corrosion

Areas where rusting reinforcement is breaking the concrete cover, a primary safety concern at height.

Cracks & structural movement

Mapping cracks in concrete, render and masonry that may admit water or signal movement.

Hollow & debonded tiles / cladding

Tapping and visual survey to find tiles and cladding panels at risk of falling.

Efflorescence, sealant & membrane

Signs of water movement, plus the condition of sealant joints and exposed waterproofing.

How our façade inspection works

Rope-access survey

IRATA technicians descend the façade for genuine close-up inspection of every elevation.

Defect identification

Systematic survey of spalling, cracks, hollow tiles, corrosion, efflorescence and sealant condition.

Photographic evidence

Each defect located and photographed so its position and severity are clearly recorded.

Condition report

A detailed report with findings, photographs and recommended remedial works for your records.

Remedial works

Because we also waterproof and repair, the same team can carry out the fixes the report identifies.

How we work

One clear process, start to warranty

The same disciplined method on every job, so you always know what happens next and why.

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    A free, no-obligation site inspection. We trace the water path to its true source, not just where the stain shows, using moisture mapping and, where needed, rope-access close-up survey.

  2. 02

    Recommend

    A clear written recommendation matched to your building, budget and timeline: the method, why it suits Singapore’s climate, what it costs, and how long it lasts.

  3. 03

    Execute

    Our trained crews carry out the works with minimal disruption, surface preparation, treatment and protective coating done to specification, with safety and tidiness on site.

  4. 04

    Document

    You receive a photographic record of the works and, for façade inspections, a full condition report, the documentation facility managers need for BCA and building records.

  5. 05

    Warranty

    Every completed project is backed by a Certificate of Warranty, from 1 to 10 years depending on the system, so the result is protected long after we leave.

Common questions

Straight answers to what homeowners and building managers ask us most.

Singapore’s BCA requires periodic façade inspection for applicable buildings under the Periodic Inspection regime, on a recurring cycle (commonly every five years for private buildings once a building reaches the qualifying age). Requirements depend on the building’s age, height and use. We can advise on your situation and carry out the survey. Always confirm your specific obligations with BCA.
