What is the Frequency of Periodic Structural Inspection?

Residential Buildings:

The frequency of structural inspections for residential buildings varies based on their age and condition. Typically, a visual inspection by a qualified inspector or professional engineer should be conducted every two years. This inspection includes:

  • Assessment of Key Components: Walls, windows, doors, roofing materials, and other structural elements are checked for defects or signs of deterioration.

Non-Residential Buildings:

For non-residential buildings, the inspection frequency depends on the building's type and complexity. Multi-story buildings generally require more frequent inspections due to greater wear and tear. Inspections should include:

  • Structural Changes: Any modifications to the structure should be inspected immediately after completion.
  • Environmental Considerations: Inspections should account for climate and environmental factors that may contribute to premature deterioration.



Benefits of Periodic Structural Inspection

Periodic structural inspections are essential to maintaining the safety and soundness of the construction authority of any building. Regularly examining the structure for signs of wear, decay, and damage can identify and address potential issues before they become significant problems. The benefits of periodic structural inspection include:

Increasing Lifespan

Structural inspections help to inspect and identify weak points that may not be visible to the naked eye. This could include cracks in the foundation, fragile or damaged walls, or other structural deficiencies that could compromise the structural integrity of the building over time.

Increasing Lifespan

Regularly inspecting and maintaining a structure can extend its lifespan significantly. This helps to reduce long-term costs by avoiding potential repair and replacement expenses.

Enhancing Safety

The safety of the occupants of a building is paramount. Regularly inspecting for potential hazards can significantly reduce the risk of injury or death.

Comprehensive Steps of the KK Forges Periodic Structural Inspection

The KK Forges Periodic Structural Inspection is a comprehensive procedure for inspecting and maintaining structural components. It focuses on the integrity and safety of steel and other metals used in construction projects. This inspection regular maintenance procedure is designed to be completed regularly, usually every five years.

Overall Visual Inspection

This includes checking for signs of corrosion, cracking, warping, or other defects. All welds and bolts should also be examined for any evidence of weakening or damage.

In-Depth Examination of Structural Components

This periodic inspection may involve taking detailed measurements and photographs to document changes since the last inspection. The inspector should also conduct a stress test to check for potential fatigue or structural damage due to overloading of the structure.

Review of Maintenance Records

This will indicate how well the building has been maintained since its last inspection and can help identify areas for further attention. After the review, the inspector should provide the building owner with a report with recommendations and any necessary repairs.

  • What is the purpose of Periodic Structural Inspection (PSI)?

    Periodic Structural Inspection (PSI) aims to assess the condition of a structure and its components and identify any potential problems or signs of deterioration that could pose a safety risk. This evaluation will inform the necessary corrective action to prevent or minimize possible losses from collapse, failure, fire or other hazardous events. The inspection typically consists of a visual examination, non-destructive testing, and a review of structural drawings and maintenance history.

  • What should be included in a PSI?

    A typical PSI includes but is not limited to visual inspection and analysis of the structure's components, such as walls, columns and beams; non-destructive testing; measurement of building movement; investigation of any visible signs of distress (cracks, corrosion, etc .); and review of any relevant documentation built plans or records, such as construction drawings and maintenance history.

  • How often do I need to carry out the Periodic Structural Inspection?

    The frequency of a Periodic Structural Inspection depends on the particular structure being inspected. Generally, most systems should be inspected at least once every five years. However, specific designs may require more frequent inspections depending on their age and condition. For example, buildings over 50 years old might need to be inspected as often as every two or three years. Similarly, structures located in areas prone to seismic activity

  • What arrangements should be made before the inspection?

    Before conducting any periodic structural inspection, it is vital to make specific arrangements. The property owner or manager must contact a qualified inspector with the necessary experience and qualifications to conduct the review. It is also crucial that the building owner and the inspector be provided with detailed information about the structure, such as its age, history intended use, and current condition.


    The inspector should be given access to all areas of the building control structure, including restricted or hard-to-reach areas. Finally, the inspector should be given a clear understanding of the objectives of the inspection and any specific concerns that need to be addressed.

  • How long does it take for BCA to respond to our report submission?

    The response time from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) for periodic structural inspection reports will depend on the structure's complexity and any issues that may arise. Generally, if no irregularities or problems with structural integrity are identified in the news, BCA will take approximately 14 days to respond. However, this timeline can be extended depending on the report's findings and the complexity of the structure being inspected.

  • If remedial actions are needed after the inspection, what should I do?

    If remedial actions are needed after the periodic structural inspection, there are a few steps you should take. First, you should address any issues identified in the periodic structural inspection, and report quickly. This may involve repairing or modifying the structure to restore it to an acceptable condition. In most cases, this will require consulting with qualified and experienced engineers or architects to determine the best course of action.


    Once the appropriate repairs or modifications have been made, obtaining a new inspection report is vital to verify that the safety risk has been addressed. The latest inspection report should then be submitted to BCA for approval.
