A room-by-room checklist on your phone. Snap each defect, pin it on your floor plan, and get a clean report for your BSC.
Many owners already DIY their check. What they lack is a complete checklist and a report that doesn't look like a WhatsApp dump. KeyDay fills that gap.

Tiles, walls, doors, windows, sockets, taps, drainage. Each item says what to test and how, e.g. tap tiles for a hollow sound, pour water to check the floor trap.
Snap each defect and mark it with tape. KeyDay numbers it to match your tape label and records the room and wall.
Export the report for your BSC. After rectification, tick off each fix or flag it again, with reminders before your DLP ends.
Most owners need a careful check twice: when they collect the keys, and again when the renovation is handed over. KeyDay covers both, free.
Works for BTO, resale and condo renovations.
One line per defect, with a photo reference, exact location and status, plus your floor plan with each room labelled, so no one mixes up Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 3. Easy for the BSC supervisor to follow during the joint inspection. See a full sample report (PDF).

The same room-by-room checklist as the app, ready to print: every item with a short tip and OK / Defect / N/A boxes, a numbered defect log, and cut-out #01–#48 tape labels. 11 pages, A4.
Not if you're systematic. A 4-room flat usually takes two to three hours. The checklist tells you what to test in each room, so you don't miss the usual suspects.
Your phone, painter's tape, a marker, a phone charger to test sockets, and a bottle of water to test drainage. A tile-tapping stick helps; some BSCs lend them.
For visible and easy-to-test defects, most owners do fine on their own. For hidden issues like concealed leaks or wiring faults, a pro with specialist tools can still be worth it. KeyDay tells you when to consider one.
The renovation handover check works for any home: BTO, resale or condo. The key collection check is built for new HDB BTO flats.
They will, but it's their own work. A numbered list with photos makes it clear what still needs fixing before you pay the last instalment, which is usually around 10% of the contract.
Yes, all of it: every checklist, tip, defect, photo, your labelled floor plan, the PDF report, the step-by-step HDB submission helper and the 3D planner. No account, no sign-up, no payment.
Inspectors typically charge S$180–480 for a 4-room flat and bring tools like moisture meters and thermal cameras, which are worth it for hidden leaks or wiring. Most defects, like hollow tiles, doors that rub, poor drainage and dead sockets, you can find yourself with KeyDay's checklist in two to three hours, for free.
Your checklists and photos stay on your phone. Use the one-tap backup (save it to WhatsApp, Drive or email) and restore it on the new phone. Your partner can open KeyDay on their own phone too.
No. Open keydaykit.com/app on your phone and add it to your home screen. It works offline, so weak signal in a new block is no problem. Your data stays on your phone.
