Periodic Structural Inspection (PSI)

Buildings require regular maintenance to remain structurally safe for users and occupants. To be carried out by the building owners, the Periodic Structural Inspection (PSI) regime ensures buildings are properly maintained, continue to be safe for their intended use, and do not pose safety risks to occupants or the public.

Periodic Facade Inspection (PFI)

Building facades and exterior features require regular maintenance to remain safe for occupants and the public. Carried out by the building owners, the Periodic Facade Inspection (PFI) regime helps detect and address facade deterioration promptly, ensuring continued safety for all.

Windows safety

Windows are constantly subjected to weather elements and may deteriorate over time due to wear and tear. Regular checks and maintenance of windows are essential to ensure safety for occupants and the public, preventing potential accidents from falling windows.

Air-conditioning safety

Air-conditioning units and their structural supporting systems are exposed to weather elements and may deteriorate over time. Regular checks and maintenance of units fitted on building exteriors or projecting outwards are essential to prevent dislodgement and ensure safety for occupants and the public.
