FAQs About Authorities Submission
What is included in Authorities Submission for construction projects?
Authorities' submission involves preparing, coordinating, and submitting all required documents to the relevant Singapore government agencies for approval before construction can begin.
This includes:
- Architectural, Structural, and M&E plans
- BCA submissions (Building Plan, Structural Plan, Temporary Works, QP endorsements)
- SCDF Fire Safety submissions (FP/ME plans, Fire Certificate)
- PUB approvals (Sanitary, Sewerage, Drainage, Water Service)
- LTA road/development-related permits
- NEA Environmental and noise permits
- NParks tree protection permits
- Erosion & sediment control submissions
- Responses to authority queries and resubmissions

Why is a BCA Structural Plan important for project approval?
A BCA Structural Plan is mandatory before any structural work can start.
It ensures that:
- The design meets Singapore Standards and Codes of Practice
- The building structure is safe and stable
- Load calculations and structural analysis are compliant
- Structural elements are coordinated with architectural and M&E layouts
- BCA can issue the Permit to Carry Out Structural Works. Without this permit and approved plans, no legal structural works can be carried out.
How do you ensure fast approval during Authorities Submission?
We streamline the approval process by:
- Conducting pre-consultations with relevant authorities
- Ensuring all drawings meet codes and guidelines before submission
- Coordinating Architectural, Structural, and M&E disciplines to avoid inconsistencies
- Submitting through CORENET/XPD for faster digital processing
- Responding quickly and accurately to authority queries
- Preparing complete documentation, reducing the chances of rejection
- Using experienced QPs familiar with BCA, PUB, SCDF, LTA requirements
This approach significantly shortens approval lead times.
