Condo Drone Cleaning for MCSTs in Singapore
Condo drone cleaning is a facade and exterior cleaning service specifically designed for Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST) managed condominiums in Singapore. Facade cleaning is one of the largest maintenance expenditures for any condo MCST — and traditionally one of the most painful. Scaffolding contractors quote $30,000-$80,000 for a full facade clean, take weeks to erect and dismantle scaffolding, close footpaths, and create safety hazards around the property.
Our drone cleaning service eliminates all of this. A cleaning drone flies along each facade elevation, spraying calibrated pressurised water to strip away algae, mould, dirt, and staining. A typical condo block is cleaned in 1-2 days at 40-60% less cost than scaffolding. No erection time, no road closures, no hoarding around the building, no safety incidents.
For MCSTs, the financial and operational advantages are compelling. The budget freed up from scaffolding costs can be redirected to other maintenance priorities. Cleaning can be done more frequently — quarterly instead of annually — keeping the property in consistently good condition rather than cycling between dirty and just-cleaned states. Residents experience minimal disruption, and the management committee can demonstrate responsible budget management at AGMs.
What We Clean at Condominiums
Facade Cleaning
All building elevations — concrete, plaster, tile, and glass facades. We clean every storey from roofline to ground level, removing algae, mould, rain staining, pollution deposits, and biological growth that Singapore's climate produces year-round.
Common Area Exteriors
External walls of common corridors, stairwell towers, lift lobbies, and covered walkways. These areas accumulate dirt and algae just like the main facade but are often neglected because they are difficult to access from outside.
Car Park and Boundary Walls
Multi-storey car park ramp walls, basement entry walls, perimeter boundary walls, and guardhouse structures. These lower-level surfaces get particularly dirty from vehicle exhaust and road splash.
Roof and Canopy Areas
Roof surfaces, canopy soffits, sky terraces, and rooftop common areas. The drone cleans these elevated surfaces without workers climbing onto the roof — avoiding fall risk and roof membrane damage from foot traffic.
MCST Cleaning Contract Options
| Contract Type | Frequency | Price Per Visit (SGD) |
|---|---|---|
| Single Block (10-20 storeys) | One-off | $3,000 — $5,000 |
| Single Block (20-35 storeys) | One-off | $5,000 — $8,000 |
| Multi-Block Development (2-5 blocks) | One-off | $6,000 — $10,000 |
| Quarterly Contract (single block) | 4x per year | $2,500 — $4,000/visit |
| Quarterly Contract (multi-block) | 4x per year | $5,000 — $8,000/visit |
| Annual Contract (2 cleans/year) | Semi-annual | $2,800 — $4,500/visit |
Contract savings: Quarterly contracts save 15-20% per visit compared to one-off pricing. A 20-storey condo on a quarterly contract pays approximately $12,000/year for 4 facade cleans — versus $25,000-$40,000 for a single scaffolding-based clean.
How MCST Procurement Works
We understand MCST procurement processes and work within your committee's decision-making framework.
Site Visit and Assessment
We visit the condominium to assess building height, facade materials, contamination level, and airspace conditions. A detailed quotation is prepared — suitable for presentation to the management committee or for circulation to council members.
Committee Presentation
If needed, we present to the MCST management committee or council meeting. We provide cost comparisons against scaffolding and rope access quotes, safety advantages, before/after examples from other condos, and proposed cleaning schedules.
Contract and Scheduling
Once approved, we set up the cleaning schedule. For quarterly contracts, dates are locked in advance for the full year. We coordinate with the managing agent on resident notifications, parking arrangements, and any building-specific requirements.
Cleaning Execution
On the scheduled date, our team mobilises to the condo with all drone and water supply equipment. Cleaning is completed within the agreed timeframe. Residents are notified in advance to close windows on cleaning elevations during the operation.
Reporting for AGM
After each clean, we deliver before/after photographs, a cleaning summary report, and a cost record — all suitable for inclusion in the MCST annual report and AGM presentation. This demonstrates to subsidiary proprietors how maintenance budgets are being spent responsibly.
Combined Cleaning and Facade Inspection
Singapore condominiums that are taller than 13 metres and older than 20 years must undergo periodic facade inspection (PFI) every 7 years under the Building Control Act. We offer a combined service that cleans the facade and captures inspection data in the same drone flight.
While the drone cleans each elevation, its onboard camera simultaneously records high-resolution imagery of the facade surface. This imagery is reviewed to identify cracks, spalling, tile debonding, sealant failure, and other defects — providing the data a Professional Engineer or Registered Architect needs for the PFI report. The MCST gets a clean facade and BCA compliance in one project, saving time and cost compared to commissioning separate cleaning and inspection contractors.
This combined approach is particularly valuable for condos approaching their PFI deadline. Instead of paying $25,000+ for scaffolding to both clean and inspect, the MCST pays a fraction of that cost for drone-based cleaning plus inspection data capture.

Why MCSTs Choose Drone Cleaning
- 40-60% Cost Savings — compared to scaffolding-based facade cleaning, the single largest saving available to any MCST maintenance budget.
- No Scaffolding Disruption — no erection time, no footpath closures, no hoarding, no visual obstruction for weeks. Cleaning is done in days, not weeks.
- Zero Safety Incidents — no workers at height means no fall risk. This protects the MCST from liability and complies with MOM workplace safety requirements.
- More Frequent Cleaning — because drone cleaning costs a fraction of scaffolding, MCSTs can afford quarterly cleaning instead of annual — keeping the property in consistently better condition.
- AGM-Ready Documentation — before/after photos and cost summaries are provided for every clean, giving the management committee clear evidence of responsible budget management.
- Combined Services — pair cleaning with BCA facade inspection, roof cleaning, and solar panel cleaning for comprehensive building maintenance through a single provider.
