Integrated construction and prefabrication hubs (ICPHs) play an important role, and have enhanced the productivity and resilience of Singapore’s construction industry. Over the years, Singapore’s approach to precast production has evolved to balance productivity, resilience, industry capacity and cost, with close communication between the Government and industry. For example, HDB has held annual dialogues with precasters on projected precast demand, best practices and upcoming changes, and these have been scaled up to quarterly sessions in 2025.
