Block by block key collection order, what to bring on collection day, a room by room defect inspection checklist, and an honest look at the move in versus rent out versus sell decision. Free, no sign up needed.
Last updated 12 August 2026. This page is updated as the developer releases per-block collection windows.
TOP has issued and the handover is now live. Per-block collection windows are added to this page as the developer releases them, so bookmark it rather than relying on a screenshot.
TOP notification letters began issuing on 11 August 2026 and are reaching owners through their lawyers now. Key collection commences 15 August 2026. Your individual appointment comes directly from the developer, so keep your registered contact details current with them.
Most owners wait for the lawyer letter before doing anything. By then the best collection slots are taken and the big financial steps get rushed. The Notice of Vacant Possession is issued through your lawyer after TOP, and once it arrives you typically have 14 days to make final payment and take possession. Everything below can be done today.
This is the single most important step on this page. Say this to your lawyer:
The developer releases collection slots in batches, and early applicants get early slots. Do not wait for your lawyer to call you.
The Notice of Vacant Possession triggers your final payment, typically the largest single payment in the purchase, and the 14-day window is strict. Missing it can trigger late payment interest.
Loan approval questions belong with your banker.
The developer requires these at collection, and one missing item can cost you your slot:
Photograph every document into one folder on your phone. That folder is your backup if the physical copies stay on the kitchen table.
Make the move in, rent out, or sell decision before collection day, not after, when you are competing with 1,007 other owners making the same decisions in the same weeks. The decision section further down this page walks through all three paths, and I am happy to run the numbers for your specific unit before you collect. Figures are estimates only, not guaranteed, and may change.
The developer has confirmed the handover sequence. Block 10 collects first. Your collection window depends on where your block sits in this queue, not on the 15 August start date.
This sequence is per the developer's notice of 30 July 2026. Your official appointment notice from the developer governs your collection date, and the developer may revise the sequence at any time.
| Order | Block | Unit stacks | Collection window |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Block 10 First | 30 to 37 | To be confirmed |
| 2 | Block 16 | 47 to 54 | To be confirmed |
| 3 | Block 8 | 21 to 29 | To be confirmed |
| 4 | Block 12 | 38 to 46 | To be confirmed |
| 5 | Block 18 | 55 to 62 | To be confirmed |
| 6 | Block 6 | 12 to 20 | To be confirmed |
| 7 | Block 2 | 01 to 06 | To be confirmed |
Find your stack in the middle column and you have your position in the queue. Your stack number is the last two digits of your unit number, so unit #14-46 sits in stack 46, which is Block 12, fourth in the sequence. Collection windows are added here as the developer releases them.
Two rules for the counter. First, do not sign any form accepting the unit until you have completed your inspection inside it. Take your time, you are allowed to. Second, flagging defects and collecting your keys are two separate actions. Raising defects does not mean refusing the unit, so you can do both on the same day.
Photograph everything before you accept the unit. Wide shots of every room, then close ups of anything questionable. Timestamped photographs taken on collection day are the strongest record you will ever have, and they cost you twenty minutes.
Log defects in writing, never verbally. A conversation with someone on site is not a record. Use the developer's official defect submission channel, keep your own copy, and note the date you submitted.
Four things to do on collection day evening while everything is fresh:
Work through this in order and do not rush. Most owners spend under thirty minutes on a first inspection, then find problems weeks later when the easy window has closed.
If you want a second pair of eyes, I am on site during collection weeks and happy to walk your unit with you. There is no charge for this and no obligation attached to it. Details are further down this page.
The fortnight after key collection decides how smooth everything else goes. Here is the exact order.
Do your inspection on collection day or within 48 hours. Work wet areas first, then windows, doors, flooring, walls, electrical, plumbing, using the checklist above. For every defect: one wide shot for location, one close-up, a numbered masking tape flag, and a matching numbered list on your phone. Short videos for anything that moves or drains.
Grand Dunman has 1,008 units, so the developer's defect team will be working through high volume. Numbered, labelled submissions get processed faster than vague ones.
The move in, rent out, or sell paths each have their own sequence, covered in the decision section below. The one universal rule: complete your defect submission before renovation touches anything.
Activate within the first week. Processing at a brand new development is slower than at established ones, and everyone is applying at once.
SP Group handles both for all residential properties in Singapore.
All major providers service Grand Dunman: Singtel, StarHub, M1, MyRepublic, and ViewQwest. Choose before collection day and book installation within your first three days of access. If the unit is for rental, it is worth checking your target tenant profile's preference before committing to a contract.
The managing agent runs the development day to day. Register early:
Confirm with the developer whether structural insurance is in force and until when. Home contents insurance is optional but strongly recommended, especially for rental units: contents, renovation works, and third-party liability are the coverage areas worth asking about.
Works done out of order cause rework, delays, and cost. And one mistake at new developments beats all others: starting renovation before your defect submission. Once hacking begins, developer defects cannot be distinguished from renovation damage, and the developer can legitimately decline them.
| Step | Works | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Measurements and planning | Measure everything before ordering anything |
| 2 | Hacking and demolition | Only after approval and deposit |
| 3 | Electrical first fix | Points added or moved before walls close |
| 4 | Plumbing works | Before waterproofing |
| 5 | Waterproofing | Wet areas. Never skip or rush this |
| 6 | Ceiling and aircon | Before flooring goes in |
| 7 | Tiling and flooring | Only after wet works are done and cured |
| 8 | Painting, first coat | Before carpentry |
| 9 | Carpentry and joinery | Kitchen, wardrobes, TV console |
| 10 | Fixtures and appliances | Second paint coat after carpentry, appliances last |
| 11 | Final snag check and cleaning | Before handing access back |
Grand Dunman's tenant pool is specific: corporate executives, expat households, and dual-income couples, drawn by Dakota MRT two minutes away, the CBD within a fifteen-minute drive, and Kong Hwa School within 1km for families. Typical leases run 1 to 2 years. Units that are prepared, photographed, and sensibly priced in the first weeks find tenants before the wave of similar listings thickens.
I would rather show you what comparable units are actually achieving this month than publish a number on a web page that ages badly. WhatsApp me your unit type and stack and I will pull the current transacted figures before you set a price. All such figures are estimates only, not guaranteed, and may change.
You get a defined window after handover to raise defects for the developer to rectify at their cost. Most owners under use it, and that is the expensive mistake.
The exact length of the period and the submission process are set out in your sale and purchase documents and the developer's handover pack. Check yours, since the terms govern, not any summary including this one.
A little over a thousand units complete here within the same window. A meaningful share were bought as investments, which means a cluster of similar listings reaching the market at once. That is not a reason to panic, but it is a reason to decide early rather than drift.
Your priority is the defects window, not the market. Work the checklist hard, submit early, and re-inspect before the deadline. Sort out your renovation permits and understand the house rules on works before you commit to a contractor.
Plan your timing around your existing home. If you are selling or ending a lease elsewhere, the sequence matters and it is worth mapping out before keys, not after.
Being ready early is the whole game. Units that are clean, photographed well, and sensibly priced in the first weeks tend to find tenants before the wave thickens. Units that wait to see what the market does often end up chasing it down.
Practical order of work: complete your inspection, get urgent defects rectified, decide furnished or unfurnished, arrange cleaning and photography, then list. Have your paperwork ready so you are not the reason a deal stalls.
On pricing, I would rather show you what comparable units in the area are actually achieving than give you a number on a web page. Ask me and I will pull the current figures for your unit type and stack. All such figures are estimates only, not guaranteed, and may change.
Timing, holding costs, and your own plans drive this more than any market view. There are also transaction costs and holding period rules that can apply depending on when you bought, so the arithmetic is worth doing properly before you decide.
I am happy to lay out the numbers for your specific unit, including what has recently transacted in the development and what is currently available, and then let you decide. Two things sit outside my remit and should go to the right person: loan approval questions belong with your banker, and tax computation belongs with a tax advisor.
I can put all four in front of you for your specific unit. Figures are estimates only, not guaranteed, and may change.
I run the handover on the ground at Grand Dunman, so I am on site during collection weeks anyway. Tell me your block and I will come to your appointment, go through the checklist with you, and flag what I would raise.
TOP notification issued on 11 August 2026 and letters are reaching owners through their lawyers now. Key collection commences 15 August 2026. Your individual date depends on your block's position in the sequence, with Block 10 first, then 16, 8, 12, 18, 6, and 2. The developer issues your personal appointment notice, so keep your registered contact details current. Per-block collection windows are set by the developer and may change until your appointment notice issues.
Block 10. The full confirmed order is Block 10, then Block 16, Block 8, Block 12, Block 18, Block 6, and Block 2 last. The table further up this page maps unit stacks to blocks so you can find your position.
Identity documents for all named owners, the developer's appointment notice, a letter of authorisation if someone is collecting for you, any payments or insurance the notice requires, and a phone with storage for photographs. A torch, a plug tester, masking tape, and this checklist will make the inspection far more useful.
Always in writing, through the developer's official defect submission channel, never verbally on site. Keep your own copy and note the submission date. Your exact deadline is set out in your sale and purchase documents and the developer's handover pack, so confirm it in writing and diarise a reminder a month ahead of it.
Maintenance charges generally begin around the point of handover, and the managing agent will confirm the exact commencement date and the amount for your unit type. Ask for this in writing on collection day so there is no surprise on your first statement.
Usually only after you have collected keys and obtained the required permits from the managing agent, and there will be house rules on permitted hours, noise, and debris removal. Ask for the renovation guidelines on collection day. One caution worth repeating: inspect thoroughly and submit your defects before works cover anything up.
Yes, a small number of developer units remain. The full picture is on the Grand Dunman launch page, and live counts across my projects are on the TOP availability tracker. If you have family or friends who have asked, I keep a current availability list with prices and floor plans. WhatsApp me and I will send it across. Figures are estimates only, not guaranteed, and may change.
Apply with SP Group at spgroup.com.sg on collection day or within your first three days. Processing takes 1 to 3 working days. Use your block's exact address from your Sale and Purchase Agreement, since each Grand Dunman block has its own street number and postal code. Book internet installation in the same window, because slots fill quickly when a thousand units complete together.
Do not. Once hacking starts, developer defects cannot be distinguished from renovation damage, and the developer can legitimately decline to rectify them. Complete your inspection, submit your defects through the official channel, and only then let works begin. Your renovation also needs the managing agent's approval, a deposit, and contractor passes before anything starts.
Every owner named on the title should attend. If one cannot, check the developer's appointment notice for what they accept in place of attendance, typically a notarised Power of Attorney. Arrange it early, because sorting this out on collection day usually means losing your slot.
The PDF has the full checklist in a printable format, so you can tick it off in the unit without scrolling on your phone. Forward it to anyone else in the development who would find it useful.
