Who should I ask to do a&a?

When considering an Addition and Alteration (A&A) project for your property in Singapore, it is crucial to engage the right professionals to ensure the work is done correctly and compliant with local regulations.

Here are some key individuals and entities you should consider:

Architect or Designer

Hire an architect or designer to create the design and plans for your A&A project. They will help you visualize the changes and ensure that the design aligns with your needs and the building codes.

Structural Engineer

If your project involves significant structural changes, such as adding floors or altering load-bearing walls, you will need to consult a structural engineer to ensure the integrity and safety of the building.

Contractor or Builder

A reliable contractor or builder is essential for executing the project. They should have experience with A&A projects and a good reputation. You can find contractors through recommendations, property agents, or by checking listings on EdgeProp Singapore.

Quantity Surveyor

A quantity surveyor can help you estimate the costs of the project and manage the budget. They can also assist in tendering and contracting processes.

HDB or URA Approval

Depending on the type of property you own (HDB or private), you may need to obtain approval from the Housing and Development Board (HDB) or the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) before commencing the project.

Property Agent

If you are unsure about where to start or need guidance on the process, consulting a property agent who has experience with A&A projects can be helpful. They can connect you with the right professionals and provide advice on the feasibility and potential impact of the project on your property's value.
