Pipeline of Projects Prescribing DfMA Technologies (for construction tenders expected to be called between Jan 2019 and Dec

2020)
With the drive towards improving construction productivity and quality, projects prescribing DfMA technologies have become more prevalent in recent years. There is strong support from the public
sector, with agencies such as HDB committing to adopting PPVC for about one third of their dwelling units in 2019 and 2020. As the industry is more familiar with DfMA projects and moves beyond
piloting, there is an increase in the proportion of larger projects (above $85mil) adoption DfMA compared to last year’s pipeline.

The table below shows the expected number of upcoming projects in Singapore prescribing DfMA technologies by type of DfMA technology and construction value, for construction tenders expected
to be called between January 2019 and December 2020. The number of tenders for projects prescribing DfMA technologies in 2020 is expected to increase as more of such projects are firmed up.

From the 71 projects in the table above, 5 of the larger projects with construction value of at least $150mil will be adopting prefab MEP systems, a newer DfMA technology that is gaining traction.
