MCST Repair & Redecoration Works Singapore
A clear scope for councils, managing agents and residents.
Repair and redecoration works combine common-property repairs with surface renewal. MCST tender documents should separate measured quantities, provisional repairs, access arrangements and resident protection so quotations can be compared fairly.
Plan your project ↗What the scope can include
Agree the included works, quantities and exclusions before comparing quotations. The following items form a starting point for a site-specific scope.
- Defect mapping, tender scope and measured repair items
- Facade washing, external painting and sealant replacement
- Waterproofing and leakage rectification assessment
- Spalling concrete repair coordination following professional advice
- Resident notices, phased access and completion records
