Under the MWIS, the Buildings Department (BD) will serve statutory notices to owners of buildings aged 10 years of above (except domestic buildings not exceeding 3 storeys) once every 5 years.

Each year, the BD will select 5800 such buildings for serving the statutory notices under the MWIS.

Owners of these buildings served with statutory notices are required to appoint a Qualified Person (QP) to carry out the prescribed inspection and to appoint a Registered Contractor (RC) to carry out the prescribed repair works found necessary of all windows of the buildings under the supervision of a QP.
