Landed Property Redevelopment in Singapore
A Practical Guide for Landed Homeowners Planning A&A, Reconstruction or New Build Works
Redeveloping a landed property in Singapore is not just about design and construction. Before any work can begin, homeowners must understand the approval process, statutory requirements, site constraints, and professional submissions required by authorities such as URA, BCA, PUB, LTA, NParks and NEA.
At Chase Builders Group, we help landed homeowners better understand the redevelopment journey so that their project starts on a proper, compliant and well-planned foundation.
Reconstruction
Reconstruction
Reconstruction involves more major rebuilding works. This may apply when large parts of the existing structure, external walls, roof or building layout are changed.
It usually requires more detailed authority submissions and professional endorsement.
New Build
New Build
A new build involves demolishing the existing house and constructing a completely new landed property from the ground up.
This option usually requires full planning, architectural, structural, drainage, sewerage and utility submissions.
