Secondly, there are updates on the Construction Quality Assessment System (Conquas) for private residential developments. The focus will be on functionality and liveability defects that matter to homeowners, such as water seepage and the like. Homeowners can look forward to better-quality homes with fewer defects that impact functionality and liveability. Developers and builders will enjoy time savings through more efficient assessments.
Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat announced four pro-enterprise measures for developers and enhanced support for home-buyers.
The first is an improvement in the TOL or temporary occupation limit process. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Singapore Land Authority (SLA) have a list of pre-identified sites available through SLA’s portal of TOL sites, which will enable developers to enjoy significant time savings of about six weeks and halve the time it takes to obtain agencies' approvals.
