Construction projects in Singapore using pre-fabricated modules facing delays of up to nine months

Construction projects in Singapore using pre-fabricated modules are facing delays of up to nine months. Around 11,000 residential units are affected. The Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) technique is often touted to cut time and manpower, but contractors said it has made things worse for them during the pandemic. With almost no modules coming in, it means PPVC projects are more severely hit. Even if suppliers bring in units, there's nowhere to put them. The Building and Construction Authority has said it is assessing the need to enhance supply resilience.

Wow so much for using this method to cut down construction time.

Hdb better not raise flat prices fr those of us who have already signed the purchase agreement! Like me.

[@malita354]

Does knocking noises transmit better in prefab flats ? These walls are extremely dense and hard. I like prefab though. Like fast to build. Will costs saved be passed to buyers?

[@zzy341]

So even our HDB is made in Malaysia?

[@rafaelcunanan9455]

Prefabs are normally used for low buildings not high rise ones because of strong wind loads and earthquakes or even shakes from heavy vehicular traffic.
I just hope these factors have been considered by the structural engineers of such projects.
God Bless Always.🙏🙏🙏
