The 10% Human Verification: Precision Meets Compliance

While our drones scan 100% of your facade, regulations and engineering rigor require a ‘Hands-On’ Close-Range Inspection for critical areas. Our certified Rope Access Technicians (Spider-Men) verify the drone’s findings.

How We Work Smarter:

  • Tapping Test (Rod Hammer): We physically tap tiles to detect “hollowness” (debonding) by sound—something a camera cannot see.
  • Targeted NDT: We don’t guess. We deploy advanced Microwave & Millimeter Wave sensors only when the drone detects a potential deep-structure issue.
  • The Result: You get 100% compliant data without paying for unnecessary manual labor.

GreenerAir / Zero-Damage Access Strategies

No Roof Anchors? We Deploy Boom Lifts to Protect Your Waterproofing.

Feature:

  • 100% Rapid Drone Scan: We capture the entire building facade in high-resolution digital twins without disrupting your tenants or operations.
  • AI Defect Detection: Our software identifies cracks, spalling, and corrosion instantly, filtering out non-issues so your engineer focuses only on real defects.
  • The “100% + 10%” Workflow: We don’t inspect blank walls manually. Our AI laser-guides your inspector to the exact defects for the mandatory 10% physical check—slashing your Boom Lift and equipment rental costs by up to 50%.

Targeted Verification: AI data guides the boom lift directly to defects, in action at
eliminating wasted search time.

Singapore’s Leading Independent PFI Marketplace – Greener Air

We connect building owners with a vetted network of SAC-Accredited specialists to ensure 100% compliance.

  • Neutral & Unbiased: We match your specific building type with the most qualified drone service provider in our network, ensuring competitive pricing and technical excellence.
  • End-to-End Compliance: Every inspection is fulfilled by SAC-Accredited partners and endorsed by Professional Engineers (PE) to meet all Periodic Facade Inspection (PFI) requirements.
  • Data-Driven Accuracy: Our partners utilize advanced AI and high-resolution aerial imaging to identify building defects with precision, reducing the need for costly manual access.

How It Works

Simple, 3-Step visualization.

  • Step 1: Compliance
    We conduct a desktop survey and on-site risk assessment to ensure Class 1 Activity Permit (AP1).
  • Step 2: 100% Drone Scan & 10% Manual Inspection. Our pilots deploy tethered drones to capture high-res visual and thermal data of the entire building envelope.
  • Step 3: PE-Ready Submission
    Data is processed via approved AI software and handed to Registered Facade Inspector (RFI) / PE for final endorsement and submission.

FAQ – Periodic Façade Inspection

Why Use GreenerAir?

A: Failing to appoint a Competent Person (CP) or submit the report on time is an offence. You may face a fine of up to $20,000, imprisonment for up to 12 months, or both. Action: Don’t risk the fine. [Contact us] to book your slot before the deadline.

BCA-deadline. Periodic Facade Inspection

A: No. The PFI is strictly for diagnosis. If we find defects, they are recorded in the report. You are only required to rectify them after the report is submitted (unless there is an immediate danger to public safety). This gives you time to budget for repairs separately.

Periodic facade inspection Singapore PFI-plan-and-pay-later

A: Yes, but we need them for planning. If you cannot find your “As-Built Facade Plans,” we can assist you in purchasing copies directly from the BCA Plan Purchase System. We handle this administrative headache for you.

AsBuiltDrawings-issue PFI

A: Yes. We handle all regulatory clearances to bypass these blockers. We hold a CAAS Class 1 Activity Permit and coordinate directly with IMDA to ensure our drone frequencies do not interfere with your rooftop equipment. Since this is a mandatory inspection, our documentation satisfies even the strictest security protocols.

PFI-periodic-facade-inspection-singapore-authorised-flight

A: Yes. Requires us to inspect all external elements that could fall and injure the public. This includes A/C ledges, sunshades, and advertising signage. If your tenants have installed unauthorized structures that are unsafe, they will be flagged.

PFI-periodic-facade-inspection-singapore external brackets

A: While many can pass the Facade Inspector course, certification does not equal capability. A PE acts as the “Competent Person” legally, but they need an RFI with actual site experience based on their education background to conduct the physical checks. We are IES-Registered, meaning we have passed the rigorous interview process proving our practical background. We bridge the gap between the PE’s theoretical liability and the gritty, hands-on reality of spotting defects that “textbook inspectors” miss.

PFI-periodic-facade-inspection-singapore-FI-vs-RFI

A: It depends on your site conditions. Regulations require 10% of the facade to be inspected hands-on (tactile).
For the 100%: We use Drones (UAV) to reduce cost and time.
For the 10%: We use Rope Access or Boom Lifts where possible to avoid full scaffolding. We design the most cost-effective “Hybrid Access” plan that satisfies the 10% rule without unnecessary equipment rental.

PFI-periodic-facade-inspection-singapore-spider-man-boom-lift

A: The PE carries the legal liability and will reject any data that is blurry or incomplete before it is even submitted. We don’t just aim for “ compliance”; we aim for PE Confidence. We ensure every image is sharp and properly organized so your PE can clearly verify the defects. This prevents the frustrating situation where a PE refuses to endorse the report due to poor data quality, forcing you to pay for a re-flight.
