Singapore buildings have recurring statutory duties across several agencies. Facility management software helps you diarise them, assign owners, and keep certificates and inspection reports attached to each obligation.
| Area | Typical agency | Examples tracked |
|---|---|---|
| Fire safety | SCDF | Fire Safety Certificate renewal, fire alarm, sprinkler and extinguisher servicing |
| Lifts & escalators | BCA | Routine maintenance, periodic examinations and permits |
| Structural | BCA | Periodic structural inspections for eligible buildings, façade inspections |
| Workplace safety | MOM | Risk assessments, equipment inspections, contractor safety records |
| Environmental health | NEA | Cooling tower and water system maintenance records |
How the compliance tracker works
- Build a register of obligations per building.
- Set frequency, due date and responsible person or vendor.
- Receive reminders before expiry.
- Upload certificates and reports as evidence.
- View a compliance dashboard across the portfolio.
