HDB will issue you a defects checklist document for you to report any defects. The HDB contractors will then rectify based on the HDB defect list. Note that you can subsequently submit additional HDB defect list if you find additional things to report. You should also create your own checklist to ensure that you don't miss out anything. After listing down the defects, you should fill out the defec
t feedback form and submit it to the HDB within 7 days after you have collected the keys. Alternatively, you can report the defects online through the eService: e-Maintenance Feedback. The Feedback Form for New HDB flats is also available in the welcome package given to new flat owners. The HDB contractors should take about 1 week to rectify all the defects, depending on the difficulty of the defects. https://www20.hdb.gov.sg/isoa072p.nsf/PC66VByFormID/HAPF00017
Step 2. Once you have collected the keys to your house. The next step is to open up an Utilities account to activate the water and electricity supply for your home. This can be done at the counter located at HDB Toa Payoh HUB. Step 3. When you are looking for a ID or contractor for your home renovation, do take note that the ID quotation will probably be only 60%-70% of your renovation budget. You will need to set aside budget for lightings, furniture, electrical appliances, air cons, curtains etc, for a complete home renovation.
