Comprehensive facade inspection and condition assessment for shophouses, conservation buildings, and small commercial properties across Singapore.
From pre-war shophouses along Tanjong Pagar to post-war commercial blocks in Chinatown, our inspections are tailored to the specific challenges of Singapore's heritage and commercial stock.
Systematic visual and physical inspection of external walls, identifying cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and water ingress. Fully compliant with BCA requirements.
Enquire →Mandatory 5-yearly inspections for buildings over 13 metres. We prepare full PFI reports for submission to BCA, covering all required assessment criteria.
Enquire →Specialist assessment of pre-war and conservation shophouses. We understand lime plaster, Malacca tiles, and traditional construction — and what defects to look for.
Enquire →Detailed annotated drawings showing exact locations of defects, severity classifications, and prioritised repair recommendations — ready for contractors and owners.
Enquire →Assessment of waterproofing integrity at rooftops, party walls, and external render — critical in Singapore's high-rainfall tropical climate to prevent long-term damage.
Enquire →Independent condition assessment before buying or leasing commercial shophouses or small buildings. Know exactly what you're taking on before committing.
Enquire →Singapore's commercial building stock is unlike anywhere else in the world. Pre-war shophouses, conservation buildings, and post-independence blocks each present their own specific failure patterns, material behaviours, and regulatory requirements.
Since 2012, WK Facade Inspection has specialised exclusively in facades for small commercial buildings — never high-rises, never residential towers. That focus means our inspectors have seen every defect type, in every district, across every era of Singapore's built heritage.
All inspections are conducted by BCA-registered inspectors and fully comply with the Building Maintenance and Strata Management Act.
From first contact to your final report, we keep everything transparent, efficient, and fully documented.
We discuss your building, its history, any known concerns, and the scope of inspection required under BCA or for your own purposes.
Our BCA-registered inspector conducts a thorough physical and visual survey, using drones and close-access platforms where needed.
All defects are classified, mapped, and photographed. We assess severity, probable cause, and urgency of remediation required.
You receive a complete condition report with annotated drawings, photographic evidence, and actionable repair recommendations.
We are specialists, not generalists. That distinction matters when the building is irreplaceable.
We understand lime plaster, Shanghai plaster, Malacca tiles, and the specific failure modes of Singapore's heritage construction materials — knowledge no general building inspector can match.
All our engineers are registered with the Building and Construction Authority. Our PFI reports meet all submission requirements and have a 100% acceptance rate.
Standard inspection reports within 5 working days. Urgent reports within 48 hours. Fixed-fee pricing quoted upfront — no scope creep, no hidden charges.
We have no affiliation with contractors or repair firms. Our only interest is giving you an accurate picture of your facade — not generating future repair work.
We deploy aerial drones and thermal cameras to identify subsurface delamination and water ingress that visual inspection alone cannot detect.
"WK Facade found active delamination above our shopfront that three previous inspectors had missed entirely. Their report was detailed, clear, and saved us from a potential liability nightmare."
"Their PFI report was accepted by BCA without any additional queries — first time that's ever happened for us. Professional, thorough, and genuinely easy to work with."
"We use WK Facade for every pre-purchase survey in the shophouse market. Their knowledge of commercial conservation buildings specifically is unmatched. We simply trust their judgment."
