The new system of mandatory structural surveys for buildings in Singapore – Strategic maintenance planning opportunities and practical issues
Abstract
Describes the 1989 Building Control Act in Singapore, which requires most building owners to commission periodic structural inspections, offering opportunities for establishing a sound basis for national corporate whole‐life property asset management. Outlines the background to this legislation and its main provisions, and suggests how the survey process and data which will be available could benefit the government policy‐makers and individual owners in formulating and implementing planned maintenance strategies for Singapore′s largely new‐built stock.
