1. Background and Purpose

Challenges in Singapore’s Construction Sites and Expectations for “Modely”

Today’s construction industry emphasizes sustainability and efficiency. The precast construction method, where building components are prepared in factories and assembled on-site, is gaining importance from the perspective of quality control and time reduction.

The demand for construction in Singapore has been on the rise in recent years, and the precast construction method has become more prevalent and widely used for various applications. However, this has also highlighted certain challenges. In particular, the current situation requires thorough inspections by specialized inspectors after the completion of rebar work. This often leads to inefficiencies in the inspection process, causing delays that frequently affect project timelines.
