Singapore: Fast Approvals, Green Mark Required, Hoist Costs

BCA approval fast: 2-4 weeks. SCDF adds 1-2 weeks for fire safety. Quality contractors book 2-3 months out. Costs: S$36-66/sqft. Green Mark certification expected by most multinational tenants—budget for consultant (S$15-30K).

Singapore realities:

  • CBD/Marina Bay: Hoist booking S$80-150/day (expensive vs regional peers). Building security protocols strict. Foreign worker permits impact scheduling.
  • One-North Tech: Less strict building management. Easier logistics. Tech companies concentrated here. Still expect Green Mark requirements.
  • Green Mark: Increasingly non-negotiable. Platinum/Gold standard expected by MNCs. Budget consultant fees and premium materials.

BCA and SCDF processes efficient vs global standards. Foreign worker dependency means levy costs (S$450-950/month/worker) impact pricing. Hoist costs high—factor into budget. Green building standards among Asia's strictest.

The Singapore Commercial Construction Process

Timeline Expectations

Commercial build-outs in Singapore typically follow this timeline:

  • Planning & Design (4-8 weeks): Space planning, architectural drawings, engineering
  • Permitting (3-8 weeks): Building department review and approval
  • Construction (8-20 weeks): Varies by size and complexity
  • Final Inspections (1-2 weeks): Certificate of occupancy

A standard 5,000 sqft office build-out takes approximately 4-6 months from design to move-in.

Choosing the Right Contractor

When evaluating contractors for your Singapore project, consider:

  • Licensing & Insurance: Verify active licenses and adequate coverage
  • Specialty Experience: Has the contractor completed similar projects?
  • References: Speak with recent clients about their experience
  • Project Size Fit: Match contractor capacity to your project scope
  • Communication Style: Ensure alignment on reporting and updates

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about commercial renovation in Singapore.

What is the average cost of a commercial build-out in Singapore?▼
Commercial build-out costs in Singapore typically range from $40-300+ per square foot depending on finish level and complexity. Basic cosmetic renovations run $40-80/sqft, standard tenant improvements cost $80-150/sqft, and high-end executive spaces can exceed $200-300/sqft. Factors like building age, MEP requirements, and permitting complexity significantly impact final costs.
How long does a typical commercial renovation take?▼
A standard 5,000 sqft office build-out takes 4-6 months from design to move-in. This includes 4-8 weeks for design, 3-8 weeks for permitting, and 8-16 weeks for construction. Larger or more complex projects can take 6-12 months. Fast-track schedules are possible at additional cost.
Do I need permits for my project?▼
Most commercial renovations require building permits. Cosmetic-only work (paint, carpet) may be exempt, but any structural, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC modifications require permits. Your contractor should handle the permit process, but budget 3-8 weeks and $5,000-50,000+ depending on project scope.
What's included in your RFP service?▼
Our RFP service includes professional scope of work documentation, distribution to 3-5 pre-qualified contractors in Singapore, bid comparison analysis, and a dedicated project manager to guide you through selection. Most clients receive competitive proposals within 2 weeks.
What's the difference between Design & Build vs. Build Only?▼
Design & Build contractors handle both architectural design and construction under one contract, offering streamlined communication and often faster timelines. Build Only contractors work from plans provided by your architect or designer, which can offer more design flexibility but requires additional coordination.
