Good Practices/Common Defects

Electrical Installation

Location of conceal conduit w.r.t. the precast component must be checked Proper conduit accessories are to be used

Good Practices/Common Defects

In instances where two residential units share one common riser duct, PowerGrid meter boxes should be placed logically for identification

Good Practices/Common Defects

Electrical Installation

The Consultant should check to ensure that the main door does not hit the CCU when fully opened.

Good Practices/Common Defects

Earth System

The Consultant should ensure all necessary information of the earth system engraved on a durable identification tag to be fixed onto the inside top of the earth pit

Good Practices/Common Defects

ELV Installation

Proper separations between Switched socket outlet box and TV outlet box

Good Practices/Common Defects

Lightning Protection System

Location of the aluminium air terminal should be check and relocated appropriately with consideration of the ladder or railing installed at the roof

Good Practices/Common Defects

Lightning Protection System Re-entrant loop should be avoided

CONQUAS

Finishes must be even, level, align & consistent No stain marks and visible damages / defects

Thank You

Timber Mock Up

The Consultant should inspect and verify the position of all electrical provision, esp at toilet and balcony - heater point at toilet - power point for the washing machine

In Process Checking

The Consultant should verify that the Electrical Sub-contractor is - BCA registered contractor of at least L2 grade - Registered with Qualified Electrical Contractors Registry maintained by IES/ACES
