Virtual inspections could help Singapore home buyers get keys sooner

A new virtual inspection method could help home buyers in Singapore get their keys sooner, while reducing manpower needs for project teams. Using 360-degree scans, government agencies can inspect buildings remotely and concurrently. This will allow potential issues to be identified earlier. In pilot projects, Temporary Occupation Permits were secured up to two months ahead of schedule, resulting in manpower savings of up to 30%. Alexandra Anand reports.
