Data residency
A Singapore sovereign cloud, run by us.
Every record lives in the Singapore sovereign cloud we operate ourselves. PDPA compliant, with nothing sent overseas.
Why developers choose Schonell
Less to buy. Less to build. Nothing left to fix.
No equipment to buy
Every intercom, access reader, access card and the resident app comes from us, so none of it sits in your project budget. Your M&E contractor simply installs it.
If it breaks, it’s our problem
A faulty panel or reader is ours to fix, not a defect claim against your project. The unlimited warranty runs from day one, for as long as the estate subscribes.
Less to build
No on-site servers and no server room. Panels need only power and an internet connection, with up to 90% less cabling.
A feature buyers can try
The same app residents will use: video intercom, visitor passes, bookings and PayNow billing. A tangible selling point in your sales gallery.
One company, every layer
We make the intercom, access control and condo app, and run the cloud behind them. One team answers to your consultant, your contractor and, after handover, the estate.
Published pricing
What the estate will pay is public, the same rates every Schonell estate pays. Nothing for buyers or the future council to discover later.
In your sales gallery
Let buyers try it before they buy.
Don’t tell buyers their future home is smart. Let them try it. A working panel in your gallery: buyers scan it with their own phone, no app needed, and the call rings a demo phone, video and all. One tap opens the door. Then they explore visitor passes, bookings and payments on the resident app. It’s the same system they’ll use after TOP.
How it works
From drawings to every year after.
One partner through design, build, handover and every year after. No equipment for the developer to buy upfront or maintain.
Supplied by Schonell. Installed by your M&E contractor.

We stay
You hand over the building. We don’t disappear. Unlimited warranty, software updates and local support continue for as long as the estate subscribes.
Before TOPLive
Handover day. Everything switches on.
Intercoms, access control and the app go live together. Residents are on the app from the first key collection, and the estate’s subscription starts from TOP.
At handover
What the estate pays, published in advance.
S$199 a month for the estate, plus S$1.99 per unit, before GST. The same rates every Schonell estate pays, on our website for anyone to check.
Before GST. That is the complete recurring cost of the Schonell system: intercoms, access control, access cards, unlimited warranty, cloud platform, telephone calling and the resident app. The estate provides power and an internet connection.
Questions
What developers ask us
Who pays for the system?
Nothing is charged to the developer for the equipment: we supply the intercoms, access readers, access cards and the resident app. From TOP, the estate pays one monthly subscription of S$199 for the estate plus S$1.99 per unit, before GST, the same published rates as every Schonell estate.
How long is the subscription?
Three years from TOP, at our published rates. After that first term, the estate can continue on the same published rates.
What does the estate get for it?
Every intercom, access reader and access card, the cloud platform and telephone calling, with repairs and replacements covered by the unlimited warranty. Residents get the full app at no cost to them, and management gets Schonell Manager. No separate maintenance contract, no app licence and no replacement budget.
Do residents pay anything?
No. The app is free for every resident, with no subscription of their own. The estate’s monthly subscription covers it.
Do we still need a separate condo app?
No. The intercom, access control and resident app are one system from one company, so visitors, doors, bookings, payments and notices all live in the same app residents use to answer the door. There is no second vendor to appoint, and nothing to integrate.
Who installs it?
Your M&E contractor, as part of the building’s existing wiring works, following our specification and layout. We supply every piece of equipment and bring the system online. Panels need only power and an internet connection, with no server room to build.
What if something fails, before or after TOP?
The unlimited warranty runs from the day the equipment is installed, through construction and handover, and for as long as the estate subscribes. A faulty Schonell panel, reader or card is ours to repair or replace, so it never becomes a defect claim against your project. Cabling and installation workmanship stay with your M&E contractor, as with any building system.
What if the estate stops subscribing?
If the estate ends its subscription under the service agreement, we collect our equipment, so nothing is left behind as the developer’s responsibility.
Can our consultant specify Schonell?
Yes. Ask for our technical details and we will work with your M&E consultant on the specification and layout.
You build the development. We stay responsible for the technology.
