BTO key collection list 2026–2027: which projects are getting keys, and what to check

If your BTO is one of the projects below, key collection is close. HDB tells each buyer their own date by letter or email, so treat the dates here as rough guides. What doesn't change is the deadline after you get your keys: report defects to your Building Service Centre (BSC) within one month, and before renovation starts.

Projects reported complete in October 2026

These projects had estimated completion dates in mid to late 2026 and were shown as fully built on completion trackers in October 2026, so owners are collecting keys now or will be soon.

• Kovan Wellspring: next to Kovan MRT, Hougang, about 590 flats. Kovan Wellspring key collection check.

Projects finishing around now

These projects had estimated completion dates around mid-2026, so many owners are collecting keys now or will be soon. Keys usually follow completion by a few weeks to a few months.

Estimated dates come from published completion trackers and can move. Your own HDB notification is the only date that counts.

A defect check plan for key collection

1. Pack the night before: painter's tape, a marker, a coin for tapping tiles, a bottle of water, a phone charger, and a charged phone. See what to bring on key collection day.
2. Go room by room, not defect by defect. In each room: floor, walls, ceiling, doors, windows, sockets, then anything with water. Finish one room before you move on.
3. Tap every tile. A dull, hollow sound means a hollow tile. These are the most common defects in new flats and the easiest to miss. More in how to check for hollow tiles.
4. Test the water. Pour water near every floor trap and watch it drain. Run each tap and look underneath for drips.
5. Number every defect on tape (#01, #02…) and take a close-up and a wide photo with the number in it. The BSC uses the numbers to find each spot.
6. Submit one clean list within the month, then check the repairs when the contractor is done.

The full list of what to check in each room is in our room-by-room BTO defect checklist. If you prefer paper, there's a free printable version with tick boxes and number labels.

After the first month

Your flat has a 12-month defects liability period from key collection. Some problems, like tiles that turn hollow or hairline cracks, only show up after a few months, so do a second check before it ends: the one-year DLP check. If you're renovating, check the contractor's work before the final payment: renovation handover checklist.
