We inspect the unit room by room, write the defect list with photos, and can carry out the rectification — for new homes at key collection and during the DLP, subsale purchases, renovation handovers and JMB common property.

Most defects are cheapest to fix in the first weeks after VP, while the developer is still responsible for them. Under the HDA sale and purchase agreement the DLP is 24 months from vacant possession, and defects have to be reported in writing — so the quality of the list you submit matters. A list that says “bathroom leaking” gets a coat of paint; a list that names the room, the element, the test and the photo gets a repair.
An inspection is one visit. We work through every room in order, test every point that can be tested on the day, and record each defect with its location and a photo reference. If we find signs of a leak, leak detection is a separate service; we will tell you before it is done. Want a head start? Use our room-by-room defect checklist on your phone during key collection and send us the summary.
Pick yours — each links to the guide that explains your rights and the checks that matter most.
Key collection and the first weeks of the DLP: wet areas, windows, every power and water point.

The table shows what we look for and how each element is tested. The same items are in our defect checklist, so you can follow along.
| Element | What we look for | How it is tested |
|---|---|---|
| Structure & cracks | Cracks in walls, beams and slabs; their pattern and width relative to the finish | Visual sweep with a torch; each crack located and photographed (see cracks in a new house) |
| Walls, plaster & paint | Patchy paint, drips, colour mismatch, damp patches, salts, patch repairs | A raking-light sweep: a torch held flat to every wall and ceiling shows patch repairs a photo will not |
| Floors & tiles | Hollow or popped tiles, cracks, chips, uneven edges, missing grout | Tap test: tap the middle of each tile, then each corner (see popped and hollow tiles) |
| Doors & windows | Operation, locks, perimeter sealant, weep holes, gaps, glass damage | Every leaf opened, closed and locked; water poured into sliding tracks to see which way it drains |
| Wet areas | Floor falls, ponding, floor traps, sealant at the basin, WC and shower | Pour test on the floor and a flow test on every floor trap, watching for backflow or slow clearance |
| Plumbing | Every tap and point, flow at each point, drains, signs of a hidden leak | Every point run; a water-meter test with everything off, the meter photographed twice with a gap between |
| Electrical | Every socket, switch, light and fan point; DB box labelling; RCCB | Plug-in socket tester at each socket; the RCCB’s TEST button should trip it (see electrical inspection) |
| Ceilings & leak signs | Stains, sagging boards, cracks along joints, staining near pipes | Torch sweep of every ceiling; any damp reading treated as a pointer, not proof |
| Balcony & aircon ledge | Falls away from the door, ponding, threshold, railing, sealed wall sleeves | Pour test at the threshold and drain (see balcony waterproofing) |
| Roof, gutters & external drains (landed) | Roof-space stains, gutters, downpipes, drains, car porch settlement | Torch check of the roof space where accessible; porch gap at the house wall noted (see car porch sinking) |
| Fittings & carpentry | Cabinets, wardrobes and fittings supplied by the developer or contractor | Doors aligned, hinges and drawers run, chips and gaps recorded |
Where a leak needs tracing, our leak detection service uses moisture mapping, thermal imaging, meter and pressure tests and dye tests — a separate, paid visit.
A useful defect report is something the developer, the seller or a contractor can act on without another visit. Ours is built around a numbered defect list:
Sample layout shown for illustration; the exact format is confirmed when you book.
Subsale purchases are not covered by the HDA’s DLP; the report is then your evidence to ask the seller to repair, reduce the price or disclose (see hidden defects after buying).
ClickBina is an experienced KL & Selangor contractor for whole-house refurbishment and trade coordination. Once the developer has had its chance, or for defects outside the DLP, the same team that wrote the list can quote the rectification: wet-area waterproofing, hollow tiles, cracks and repainting, doors and windows, electrical and plumbing points.
See our renovation and repair services, waterproofing and electrical & plumbing, or send us your defect list for a quote.
